This timepiece is of your forefathers.

The output of a LLM is analogous to re-saving an image as a lo res JPEG. Data is being processed and altered using statistics, but nothing "new" is being created, only lower quality derivatives. That's why you can't train a LLM on the output of a LLM.

I'm not familiar with the idiom "spitting on the wrong horn." Here's the context of the quote:

But weigh this [the evils of liberty] against the oppression of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem ["I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"]. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

The classic sci-fi short story A Pail of Air touches on this.

But I will say that changing the law like that is also insane to an American sensibility.

It's less about thinking she shouldn't be punished for her speech, and more about thinking that the state shouldn't have the power to punish speech. To quote Thomas Jefferson, "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."
