C'mon. They are nice people, and the food is really good.

I find it a bit ironic that people are upset about AI bypassing copyleft. The free software people we bypassing copyright the same way. Rewriting stuff to create the same functionality.

What other measures, besides shutting the internet, are taken by the local authorities?

Is there a horse shoe theory of goodness? Meaning, if things gets to the extreme of bad, they overflow to the counter pole making it good. And vice versa.
