But I would warn anyone circumventing anti-LLM protections that, as the tide turns against #LLM usage and "#AI" as a whole, that it may become politically useful for some state AGs to score political points. Those political points may come by putting you in prison, or, at the very least, dumping lawyers on you and ruining your life. An AG doesn't need to win to score points for their political party or to virtue signal. All they need to do is build a case against you. Because the CFAA is *so vague* it's easy to make something plausible enough that it won't get thrown out immediately.
So if the gentile "please don't do that" isn't enough, maybe consider this.

UN report warns AI could soon use 3% of world's electricity and more water than we need to drink
One argument often used to quell concerns about the rising energy and resource demand of data centers is that artificial intelligence (AI) models will need less in the future as they improve and become more efficient.

Het meest schokkende in het item vond ik wel bedrijven die wr voor kozen om werknemers (gedeeltelijk/onder 'begeleiding) gratis ai diensten lieten gebruiken.

This was one of those impressive AI thresholds for me.

Before working for 2 years on the Apache APISIX API gateway, I was mainly oblivious to API gateways. It’s only by working with them that I understood their value. Decoupling the client and the server unlocks a lot of options: moving authentication to the API Gateway, securing APIs, deduplicating API requests, etc.
