No, but you can learn it
education is a fair use exception, too
Hmm…
If I illegally download college course text books I could also technically pirate a whole ass education. Just won’t have a degree.
Unless… Can I pirate that, too? 🤔
All you need to do is print it, forge the signatures and input it in the national registry. Should be doable.
Educating computers 😇
Educating people 😡
If you train a local LLM and let that LLM write your thesis for you, it’s fine.
Having the material doesn’t mean you know it unfortunately. You could probably give yourself a PhD level of education yourself with resources publicly available, but you would need to be able to learn on your own, and putting together the curriculum would be a problem since you are starting as a novice at whatever subject it is.
however, the curriculum is also often publicly available
Totally, when I want to learn a new subject in my field I will go find a uni course with a public curriculum and use that to help my studies. It also lets you find books that have ostensibly accurate information
