The EFF is way less on your side than you think. It's mostly a libertarian/tech corporation lobbying group.

@tante i'll never forget how they sided with kiwifarms because a nebulous concept of free speech (that only bullies seem to deserve, but not all the people they've silenced or worse) is more important for them than queer and neurodivergent lives.
@tante I always suspected EFF. It always felt like an inside job, like a front for capitalism go-go
@tante The hard fact is that the statistical destillation process what some are calling training of LLMs is at the least partially transformative when it comes to copyright. There is precedent for that with concordances and the likes. The equally inconvenient fact is also that some of the inputs survive that process sufficiently unscathed that the result is blatant copyright infringement.
