      Of course not! If they did then they’d be several fractions of a billion less wealthy!

    So why can’t I read them for free too? Only massive billion dollar companies get stuff for free?

    I would like to announce that I am pioneering a new AI program. Give me access to all of the movies for free please.

    Settle down, nerds. TACO just read from the card they gave him. He doesn’t think anything about AI. Of course, he’ll make the wrong decisions and cause utter chaos and strife but it’s not like he has an actual opinion about AI.

      Also, he’s talking about AI companies, i.e. the people who bribe him. How insolent of you plebes to assume you’d get the same rights.

        He gets the papers already ready to sign, I can’t imagine him writing bills.

        At most he can choose the name of the bill, as shown by the latest one, it’s so obvious that even stupid algorithms can guess it

    Funny that when it was about protecting profits copyright was such a cornerstone principle but when it’s about protecting profits it can also be set aside.

    Can a human be expected to have a successful life when they have to pay for knowledge they need access to? I am not against the opinion that information should be free and freely accessible. But does this courtesy also extend to the common folk or is it exclusive to expensive machines and their owners? You wouldn’t download a United States government. da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

      I’ll setup a JellAIfin server immediately. It’s just the regular Jellyfin code, but I am compiling my own version - it has “AI” added as a comment to every line of code before I compiled.

    Don’t spend one more dollar on educational material. If a person had to pay for every textbook and online subscription, education would be impractical.

    In a statement given during a press conference in the Oval Office, the president’s stance on the topic was clear:

    “I’m a big reader, some say the biggest ever. And let me tell you - when you go into a bookstore, they have books costing like insane numbers, like 100.000 Dollars each minimum. Its an absolute disgrace. You have all these authors getting billions just for putting funny little characters on paper. The democrats… They jacked up the price so much, especially under Obama together with the crooked Clintons and sleepy Joe Biden, they were all in this room when it happened, they were all together. Its a shame. They did the same thing with eggs but I brought prices down like, immediately. Immediately. So fast everybody said “Wow” Because they never saw something like that and I will do the same for these books and newspapers. But all these writers and journalists, who are all producing propaganda for the radical left by the way, they are really terrible people - they’re earning trillions… I was speaking to Mr. ChatGPT the other day and he said “They’re ripping us off, Mr. President it’s a totally broken market, they are killing us.” And I agree, it’s a disgrace. A total disgrace. That’s why I’ll bring prices down by not only 100 % or 200 %, but probably more like 1,000 % in the next two weeks. You’ll never have seen lower prices for medication, let me tell you… And books too. So there will be big price cuts. Bigly.”
