I'll copy the whole announcement here for those who don't want to click:
> I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.
It has the content three times (not including the title). Once in json (as escaped html) and twice in meta tags (as plain text). They used to have it in plain html too but that got hidden then removed.
"Certifiably insane" to enable JavaScript, which was invented in 1995, or install an app, which first happened on the Palm series of smartphones in 1996. Either of those are "certifiably insane"?
For reference, the term neurodiversity was coined circa 1998.
Neither the invention date or the mental health terminology have anything to do with the fact that js being commonplace is a privacy and security nightmare -- which was actually the point.
That’s not how things work. There is one set of rules for us and another set of rules for the oligarchy and their corporate vehicles. It’s just like the Taliban legal code (see above) where the closer you are to the top the more lenient and ‘understanding’ the system.
Bigger corporations mitigate the problem by feeding content (that they don't own but happen to have) to training models. It's a version of "faire use" where << if you manage to find it, it's yours >> mindset is applied. Maybe worth looking into.
Whatever you do, don't download nzget, and don't download sonarr/radarr, and don't download plex media server, and don't use AI to search for the best device that support "emby direct playback x265/AV1", and don't connect that to your media server, and whatever you do don't invite friends and family to your server, and do not install a media request app so they can just request things to automatically pull from The Web.
Definitely, definitely do NOT have an AI assist you doing all this in 1 hour on your computer.
Haha I wonder if the torrent agent will escape into the model hosting room and use Jedi mind tricks on the security guard to grant access to the server where it can host a bunch of models as torrents
it's funny to see the very same pro piracy, pro AI edgelords suddenly getting all riled up against the alleged copyright infringements. I remember a socialistic coworker of mine—that was bragging about his -arr setup—talking about the end of the culture because authors aren't earning money.
From what I have experienced, people justifying their own piracy usually think about it in terms of refusing to give unethical/monopolistic publishers money. The fact that it results in money not going to the author is sort of abstracted away, by the fact that the publisher is in between. (Some also walk the walk and donate to the artists and authors directly in some way, but many don't.)
The AI arguments I've seen are instead usually justifying it like "We're democratizing those skills. You shouldn't have to learn art/writing/coding or pay someone else in order make what you imagine, and training AI on pirated stuff is worth it for the greater good." So the fact that it will result in artists not getting paid is much harder to ignore and unavoidable in that line of thinking.
Buying media doesn't mean the creator gets any real money. I've got a friend that was in a fairly popular band decades ago. Their label made millions of dollars off album sales, he made about enough to buy a used Toyota and a microphone.

To be fair, you can have it both ways. If you buy-and-pirate, and you buy 4 UHDs per year or 10 albums per year, you've put more money into the industry than the average streamer. Admittedly, buying-and-pirating isn't as commonly done for movies and TV as it is for music, but that can be explained by the increased DRM and lock-in.
There are major differences between an individual illegally downloading movies and a major corporation getting their hands on literally all of Human Creation.
Oh? You don't see why people are riled up? It's because corps pirating is at best a slap on the wrist while People pirating get suicided -- see Aaron Swartz.
You are still the one operating the computer. It's up to you to keep your eyes on the monitor at all times ready to intervene if it does anything illegal.

Thanks. Its insane how "Twitter, but for tech nerds" has a hard requirement to either enable Javascript or download some app.
I had a nice mobile experience. It asks you to log in or create an account, but it’s along the bottom, and you can read all the content fine.
Especially when the page source actually contains all the content (so no need to fetch it in JS), part of which is even presented in title.
It has the content three times (not including the title). Once in json (as escaped html) and twice in meta tags (as plain text). They used to have it in plain html too but that got hidden then removed.
You see read the unescaped html here:

No stinking js or app required!

FWIF, way back when, Twitter was the "Twitter for tech nerds".
Lots of water under the fridge since...

Get this guy some VC funding stat!
Love it. AI as Responsibility Laundering. Like the gun that kills people rather than the murderer.

If OP is willing to cooperate, I'd like to offer an independent investigation on site, and I will be bringing pizza
Well shoot, I guess QBittorrent is worth a trillion dollars.
Bigger corporations mitigate the problem by feeding content (that they don't own but happen to have) to training models. It's a version of "faire use" where << if you manage to find it, it's yours >> mindset is applied. Maybe worth looking into.
I found a few websites where it looks like qbittorrent instances are communicating to conspire and download illegal copies of copyrighted material.
Whatever you do, don't download nzget, and don't download sonarr/radarr, and don't download plex media server, and don't use AI to search for the best device that support "emby direct playback x265/AV1", and don't connect that to your media server, and whatever you do don't invite friends and family to your server, and do not install a media request app so they can just request things to automatically pull from The Web.

Shhh, do not talk about *senet!
my bad you're right. edited.
What a coincidence! Mine too!
They left out the part where they profit. Otherwise, it checks out.
I hate rogue software, when will we finally have some control and a deterministic execution :(

Because we need a replacement for HF!
I mean that’s what the agent said

ROFLOL!!!
I, for one, welcome our new file-sharing overlords.
I really hate it when it happens to my system too. The bastard not only escaped but also did a nat traversal and forwarded a port from the router.

A truth that in practice does not seem to hold up once your valuation passes a certain threshold.
