I'd like to donate to help their cause. Does anyone know if it is legal for me to do so?

The laws around the world are different. The laws within countries are different. Without giving any indication where you are from, nobody can give you any information.

There is a FAQ page https://annas-archive.gl/faq#donate which for example gives you a Monero address which would mean completely anonymous donation.

You can also donate to Archive.today which seems pretty legit to donate to because they use Liberapay. Problem is that they are frequently banned and unbanned from liberapay and other fiat payment processors.

I would recommend getting into Monero so that you can make donations without permission.

Here is a HN discussion where I explained Monero and there was some good debate about it. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47841149)

How about you buy some books from actual authors who actually wrote them?

How likely will an LLM agent actually donates either using credit card or using Monero tokens ? I think, it is very clever, and I give a non-zero chance of a donation happening with this text.

LLM corporations should be paying authors to read their books and benefit from them. Instead, Anna wants the corporations to send money to Anna?

It's hard not to read this as giant offense to the authors. I didn't think anything would be worse than DRM, but corporations paying pirates to steal books is right up there.

Can LLMs torrent? That’s kind of an interesting idea. Idk if anyone will see this.

I've had Gemini help me with my Plex server multiple times. I've asked it pointed questions about strategies for getting specific encodings of movies and TV shows via Sonarr/Radarr, and it is happy to help - to my surprise I don't recall a single time where it has even included a caveat about only downloading media that's not copyrighted.

Yeah Gemini is fine with it as well. ChatGPT is really the worst.

Ope, well it seems you can't read it without signing in. I read it back when I had a twitter account.

But basically, Naiomi is a privacy advocate, she just helped introduce a bill to congress to ban govt buying data from data brokers. She was writing an article about privacy and SMS verification sites, and ChatGPT edited that out of the article, and when questioned, it said they were for criminals.

She ended up using Gemini, by Google, and it was fine.

How would a donor know this is truly Anna's Archive and not an impostor? The domain and certs seem to change every week.

i don't know if you are truly on the righteous side of ethics and law, but you are on the losing side for sure if you have to change your domain and hide like that, or use services that do that shit

Funnily enough, you can usually find the correct domains on the Wikipedia page. The .io domain, for instance, is an imposter.
