10 months agoI know what sub I’m in, and while I don’t pirate anything, I’m not going to argue the ethics at all.
But according to the article, they were literally advertising to customers that they were sling and selling them devices preloaded to look like they were sling. Again, I’m not here to argue the merits of piracy generally. I follow the sub without being a pirate because many of the legal/technical issues around piracy affect anyone who wants to own their media and browse the internet with some level of privacy. But distributors of any of that content aren’t credible if they’re lying to the end users. Lying to tell people you’re actually the real service isn’t cool.
I really want absolutely no part of people who don’t understand code using LLMs to submit things they don’t understand. That’s a disaster waiting to happen at best.
If you don’t understand every line you’re submitting completely, you should not be submitting code. It absolutely does need to be restricted to people who know what they’re doing.
