> "Learning" was used by the person I responded too.

Not in the same sense.

> If you had read my comment with any care you would have realized I used the words "training" and "learning" specifically and carefully.

This is completely belied by "It works exactly the same for a LLM."

> That doesn't count as a "copy" since it isn't human-discernable.

That's not the reason it _might not_ count as a copy (the law is still not settled on this, and all the court cases have lots of caveats in the rulings), but thanks for playing.

> If you don't like being called out for lack of comprehension, then don't needlessly impose a semantic interjection

If you want to not appear mendacious, then don't claim equivalence between human learning and machine training.

> It is pretty clear this is a transformative use and so far the courts have agreed

In weak cases that didn't show exact outputs from the LLM, yes. In any case, "transformative" does not automagically transform into fair use, although it is one considered factor.

> Very mature.

Hilarious, coming from the one who wrote "if it helps your comprehension."

You must be one of those assholes who think it's OK to say mean things if you use the right words.

Bless your heart.


You both broke the site guidelines badly in this thread. Could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules? We ban accounts that won't, and I don't want to ban either of you.

I specifically used the word "training" in the sentence aftwards. "It" clearly refers to the sentence prior which explains that infringement happens when the copy is created, not when the original is memorized/learned/trained.

> If you want to not appear mendacious, then don't claim equivalence between human learning and machine training.

I never claimed that. I already clarified that with my previous comment. Instead of bothering to read and understand you have continued to call names.

> Hilarious, coming from the one who wrote "if it helps your comprehension."

You seemed confused, you still seem confused. If you think this genuine (and slightly snarky) offer to use terms that sidestep your pointless semantic nitpick is "being an asshole"... then you need to get some more real world experience.

I'm polite in repose to being repeatedly called names and this is your response?

If you think my behavior here was truly ban worthy than do it because I don't see anything in the I would change except for engaging at all


This is the sort of thing I was referring to:

> Instead of bothering to read and understand you have continued to call names.

I wouldn't personally call that being polite, but whatever we call it, it's certainly against HN's rules, and that's what matters.

Edit: This may or may not be helpful (probably not!) but I wonder if you might be experiencing the "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" phenomenon that shows up pretty often on the internet - that is, we tend to underestimate the provocation in our own comments, and overestimate the provocation in others' comments, which in the end produces quite a skew (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).


Sorry, and thanks.

I know moderation is a tough gig.
