In the past I had been partial to Icelandic hosts because they're not in the 14 eyes, but they're still European so there's that to consider. There's also likely good hosts in Russia, China, etc. Other than those two countries, it would probably be a good idea to look for hosts based out of the global south, and they'd probably need servers in several countries to provide the traffic balancing large clouds offer. I haven't looked recently, but I know Panama used to have a lot of hosts. That's probably a good place to start.

Yep, it was that one. I kept hoping they'd blossom into a more interesting lib, but at least they said a couple funny things.

16.You are encouraged to post drama you are involved in.
17.You are encouraged to brigade in bad faith.
18.You are encouraged to gaslight, to gatekeep, above all else, to girlboss.
19.You are encouraged to egg people on to transition or otherwise make drastic life changes.
20.This site is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever (MODS = GODS)

No, it was my fault for going short, that was a good call

Ukraine is just Israel 2.0. I wonder what indigenous people they'll persecute.

You are correct, but I did say under capitalism. We are necessarily making these statements from a capitalist perspective because that's the world we live in. I probably should have clarified that statement by saying in the view of the AI owners, these things couldn't have been made along with compensating the authors. They are only profitable now because of the huge glut of free content they can absorb, legally or not.

Good analysis. It is capital, and it relies on free labor to train them. In fact, they are more closely akin to chattel slavery insofar as all the work required to feed this beast is provided for free. If they fairly compensated every original author, no such mechanism could be created under capitalism. Capitalism does not, in fact, breed innovation. Far from it. It actually stifles innovation until such a time as it can be done essentially for free, and then only for the bourgeoisie.

Further proof libs know nothing about communism. Just had one the other day try to offend me by saying "by the way, the word trump means fart". Like, ok?
