"yes officer, for my models"
y'all want stickers of this right because I do
I think it's funnier if it's just "training data" though, drop the AI
Should I do a run of the stickers? And should it say “AI Training Data” or just “Training Data”? Vote either way I guess. Dunno how to do the options right here really

Training data looks better in my opinion and also as pointed out by a smart friend, AI will get rebranded to some other shite at some point

Will of the people. We’re doing it gang. $10. Two stickers. Shipped worldwide. In a few weeks time.

Pirate Bay Training Data Stickers https://rknight.me/blog/pirate-bay-training-data-stickers/

A post about the new stickers which you can get here until the end of the week https://rknight.me/shop/training-data

WELL. Y'all can thank @sophie but anyone who has orders (or has already ordered) the Pirate Bay stickers is also getting two (2) Piracy is a Crime stickers as well. For no extra cost! Just because.

Get them here: https://rknight.me/shop/training-data

Some people asked for shirts, who am I to say no? (hi @crashthearcade 👋)

(Shipping is expensive to anywhere outside the US but there's nothing to be done about that I'm afraid)

Or just get stickers instead which do have cheap shipping (included!) 🏴‍☠️ http://rknight.me/shop/training-data

Okay maybe I _can_ do something about the shipping costs

I've made a store on Teemill as well and I think in the long run it'll be a better fit for me and shipping to the UK/EU is gunna cheaper here https://rknight.me/shop/shirts

I also put up, at @wade's request, a Don't @ Me shirt so that exists too.

🚨 The stickers have been ordered and I want to try and get them sent out next week so this weekend is your last chance* to order them:

I also have shirts but these aren't time-limited:

*there may be a slim chance of more time but don't count on it

@robb I slipped in a last minute order 👍
@robb Nice! And only about $5 more expensive than Cotton Bureau for U.S. shipping after conversion rates.
@jarrod Thanks Jarrod, thats good to know. I'll keep both up for now but $5 is better than I expected.
@robb lemme know how you like teemill, i’m looking for a new home for my shirts as redbubble has been a nightmare
@marlies will do. Someone bought 2 earlier and I’m gunna order myself one later if I remember.
@robb Have you seen https://teemill.com ? UK-based, very nice interface, all organic cotton/soy inks etc. You probably don’t want to offer t-shirts from two providers but I’m a big fan of Teemill/RapaNui.

@bendaubney I haven't, that's very interesting. They also have a US based printer. Will look into it, I would prefer to use one I'd be willing to use.
@robb @crashthearcade can you share the file for the design? People can then just order anywhere
@robb @sophie oh, that second sticker is the clincher. Sold!
@robb @sophie ok the new one put me over the edge
@robb Just taking my money.
@robb doing God's work.

@robb

stripe is being all "NO FRY YOUR 2000s MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE"

@robb Perfect.

I have done zero due diligence on this matter, and threw money immediately.

@robb Are we able to order more than two stickers without making multiple orders?
@christopherbrown I didn’t really account for that as such but you can adjust what you pay at checkout - if you do that just drop me a message with your name or whatever and I’ll make a note to make sure you get what you’ve paid for
@robb very cool, insta buy!
@robb lol is there an SVG to this?
@feliks I don't have an SVG right now but here's the transparent PNG
@robb thank you! can you say what the name of the font is?

@feliks I used this one https://www.dafont.com/iglesia.font

It's not exactly the same as the original pirate bay logo but it's close enough

@robb It's the Pairate Bay?

@robb porque no los dos?

TrAIning Data

@robb Ironically, "Drop the AI" would also make for a good sticker.
@robb
"The training data" fits their original better

@robb The hypocrisy of all this baffles my mind.

Ordinary people get into trouble for doing even a teeny tiny fraction of what AI tools do, but when the latter does it, no legal repercussions and it’s all hype.

And it often reminds me of Aaron Schwartz, and how this situation is so baffling in comparison.

@mahryekuh And Aaron barely downloaded anything in comparison to what Perplexity et al have downloaded. It's outrageous.

@mahryekuh @robb I was just thinking of this appalling hypocrisy today!
I see no 'Rule of Law', only 'Rule of Coin'
