  • Figuring this one out myself too. Liaobots is a chinese site and when asked about the gpt-4-plus model it mentions that it's based on the gpt-4 architecture but i'm not too sure as well. My guess is that the chinese reverse engineered gpt-4 and put it out there, like a bootleg gpt-4.

    Bing tends to get heavily ratelimited.

    So maybe, yes you're there's a sketchiness and too-good-to-be-true factor to this so maybe calling it "free gpt-4" is a bit misleading. But it's still super cool to have an all-in-one interface for all your llm providers and models :)

  • Then yerr a pirate matey!

    The world can handle a stable population of pirates. And you’re one of them, and also me. But what if we grow? What if more people pirate? We will feel the effects in terms of regulation, either through dns blocking indexer sites or more copyright trolls, regardless if we harm corporations profits or not. I say we need to prepare for that, decentralize as much as we can, and be more resilient so that when that time comes we’ll be prepared

  • Yes, I agree, we definitely want the piracy community to be stronger. That’s one way to increase the payout of the strategy of piracy. If they can’t take us down even if the big guys want to, that allows more people to pirate. I misspoke when I said “We definitely don’t want more people to pirate”

    I was thinking of it more as a game: if somehow the population of pirates increases, that will lead to maybe tighter controls on piracy or a more global crackdown of piracy. This will lead to us needing to adapt and recover to these controls. And yes, one way to combat this is to be resilient: that means using and improving the technology of DHT crawlers to decentralize centralized indexers (such as Bitmagnet, it looks promising). Piracy is a hydra.

    And yes: let’s not forget to seed ppl

  • Definitely not a stable strategy if everyone adopts it! Just be safe out there in the oceans matey.

    although, you do bring up a theoretical point that's interesting: how can we make pirating both the nash equilibrium and the best-case scenario? How can we restructure the system in a way where software and media is free for all to take without impunity.

  • Granted, "if you can" maybe wasn't the best phrasing. Maybe I should replace it with "buy it if you think the value of the software matches its price." Also, you said the bad word "should" here. We're discussing this purely economically and not morally or ethically as that has been done before. Maybe that can put us at a stable strategy, but who knows. Just don't be too greedy
