You don't seem to reject my claim that for many, principles took a backseat to "does this help or hurt evil corporations". If that's what passes as "nuance" to you, then sure.
>Talking about broken brains is often just mediocre projecting
To be clear, that part is metaphorical/hyperbolic and not meant to be taken literally. Obviously I'm not diagnosing people who switched sides with a psychiatric condition.
LLMs are killing the resource. This isn't a corporation vs person issue. No issue with an llm having my content but big issue with my server being down because llms are hammering the same page over and over.
Has it be shown that perplexity engages in "DOSing"? I've heard of anecdotes of AI bots gone amuck, and maybe that's what's happening here, but cloudflare hasn't really shown that. All they did was set up a robots.txt and shown that perplexity bypassed it. There's probably archivers out there that's using youtube-dl to hit download from youtube at 1+Gbit/s, tens of times more than a typical viewer is downloading. Does that mean it's fair game to point to a random instance of someone using youtube-dl and characterizing that as "DOSing"?
