FBI wants to remind everyone that only US mega-cap companies can scrape the entire internet, not share the data, use it to train AI models and then charge people to use chatbots that use this 'laundered' data. Anybody else attempting to do this is a criminal in their eyes and must be punished.


Archive should just rebrand as an AI start up then offer an 'llm' that is suspiciously 'over-trained' and happens to spit out the site you query exactly... Copyright infringement? Nay! Over-training! "A fix is coming soon™!"


See NYT vs OpenAI


Not just that... they want to control and erase history, so they fully control the narrative. Same as the Roman Empire did with the crusades and burning of books.


I thought the crusades came after the end of the Roman Empire


The roman empire ( eastern portion anyways ) lasted until the ottoman turks took them out in the 1400s. So the crusades definitely happened during the roman empire's existence.


I think Roman Empire was split clearly East/West.

Crusade came from the West. Roman Empire, or what the last vestiges of, fizzled in the East.


Not acknowledging the Roman Empire when it was seated in Constantinople is kind of peak Western chauvinism though.


The FBI is also used by various organizations to investigate various crimes, whether real or not. For instance, the Bureau of Industry and Security thought my company was flaunting export regulations and had the FBI raid my company to investigate. It turned out to largely be due to a paperwork problem, but the BIS didn't have the power to investigate so they contracted the FBI to provide the manpower to do the raid. So who we saw was the FBI, but it was really the BIS originating the raid.



That's because the US is simply still what it was when it was founded in the early 1600s: A colony that is chartered to a group of merchants who run it as a business. Its not a country. Its a bunch of merchants owning a country.
