This is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks. I wish there was some way for us to keep in touch. There are a few things I was hoping for some thoughts on, and most of the people here don't have emails in their profiles.
smspva is perfect. Thanks! Do you know of one for gift cards? Particularly ones that could be used to pay for services like server rental or Tarsnap.
> What's your game? Are you profiting enough to make sense - financially-wise - to break the law? Not at all. Hosting costs $130/mo, and I feel the sting each month. I'm not sure we'll even get enough donations to cover…
Could you elaborate a little more on how you came to this belief? I'm interested in the process of deciding whether to agree or disagree. A good way to get better at that is to get perspectives from thoughtful people.
We're not worried. Our operation is anonymous, and as long as we don't slip up, we'll be fine. Though saying "don't slip up" is very "draw the rest of the owl"; it's most of the work:…
This is an excellent point. Thanks. Do you mind if I quote your comment in our official policies? It's interesting because libgen also provides most fiction titles, but everyone is rooting for them. For example, one of…
As far as I can tell, Books3 seems to be training data for language models. I'm not sure how it was created, but it contains a lot of books. I got it by torrenting The Pile after it was forced offline by the Danes.…

I think if you're interfacing with your server without going through Whonix, you're asking for trouble. Not only do you need to pay for the server using BTC that can't be traced back to your identity, but anything that…
Indeed. For anyone who isn't convinced, I wrote up some details on our use case (creating a training data DMCA safe haven) in the Tails thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37512147 If you're serious about…
Other thoughts: Day to day browsing is a pain. I use a VNC client to remote into our server, which is running a desktop environment with a regular browser. That way you can use apps (gmail, discord, etc) from outside…
Hi. We're building The Nose (https://thenose.cc), a safe haven for training data that can't be taken down with DMCA. Since this involves copyright infringement, strong anonymity is a requirement. I wrote up our security…
Hi HN, I have been working on something directly related to AI and copyright. Would it be ok to point it out here? Recently The Pile was taken offline from The Eye by DMCA. One solution is to host it offshore, which…
