Meta admits using pirated books to train AI, but won't pay for it

If Meta win this lawsuit, does it mean I can download some open source AI and claim that "These million 4k Blu-ray ISOs I torrented was just used to train my AI model"?

Heck, if how you use the downloaded stuff is a factor, I can claim that I just torrented those files and never looked at them. It is more believable than Meta's argument too, because, as a human, I do not have enough time to consume a million movies in my lifetime (probably, didn't do the math) unlike AIs.

But who am I kidding, I fully expect to be sued to hell and back if I were actually to do that.

Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA

And Nintendo JP says that “Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 cannot be remotely located, remotely identify its user nor disabled over the Internet” (tweet in Japanese warning people against accidentally losing or getting their Switch stolen over summer vacation)

But I bet it is more like “Nintendo won’t disable them remotely even if people report ones stolen to them with serial numbers and police reports”, but they’ll happily do so if they caught you using the console in an unapproved manner in their eyes.

Just a reminder to never trust Google Translate

This problem stems from この先 being able to mean “ahead from here in space”, or in time which (mis)translated to “the future”. Without proper context (that it is a sign on a road) the translation software had to make a guess, and it guessed wrong.

It may be possible to infer from 前へ行く in the second sentence that it is more likely referring to space than time, but I still think it is possible to construct some similar sentences which even humans might misunderstand.
