- Comment on I am from a different millenia 5 days ago:
Last time I had this was with Tyler’s IGOR vinyl I got in 2019 or so that had the extra track “Boyfriend” that wasn’t on Spotify, but I think it has since been released on tidal or some other obscure music service by niw.
Quickly became my fav track off the album too.
- Comment on In a hypothetical revolution who would secure the resistances comms? 5 days ago:
This is correct, but that said if you’re doing anything Donnie don’t like, especially something you’ll likely be investigated for, your position can be actively tracked via cell towers, and software backdoors will happily record and transmit your GPS position over the internet, even disabling all this stuff you can never really know for sure, so keep that phone off.

Lmao there are so many ppl on Lemmy who unironically think like this. Let culture grow wild and fuck the profits.
- Comment on Doom NPCs with Zero-Knowledge Proofs 2 weeks ago:
But what is meant by “integrity of the model, inputs and outputs”? I guess I don’t understand the attack vector, what’s the threat here? Someone messes with the model file or refines a model towards a specific malicious bias?
- Comment on Doom NPCs with Zero-Knowledge Proofs 2 weeks ago:
I don’t understand what is exactly being verified there? Model integrity? Factors for “reasoning”?

Nothing, this seems like a good thing, I don’t want them here if they literally cannot even comprehend the concept of different servers, though somehow no one has this issue with discord even though it’s dogshit, almost as if they just yearn for the corporate boot.

But there’s a difference between a curated selection of books
Look up a listicle? Da-doink
in physical form in front of you
Fair, but that shit ain’t cheap.
and deciding to read a book on an electronic device.
If the book is good you’ll read it however you can. I once read the entirety of the Berserk manga at my desktop PC in a shitty wooden chair.
The former dissuades the reader-to-be from abandoning the idea over too wide a selection
This is pure pop psychological speculation.
other electronic distractions from asserting themselves over the reading material - I refer here to notifications that flash over the current window.
Turn them off?
Plus, there’s plenty of people who choose not to read, despite the option being available.
And so there were before phones. A lack of curiosity wasn’t invented in 2008, even if it may feel like it if that’s when you were born.
However - wider availability has almost always increased literacy other factors non-withstanding, from the printing press to the digital media of today.
Having the option physically there in front of you is far more encouraging, in my opinion.
I fully disagree. If anything - it’s about meeting people where they’re at, and today - people are on their phones.
And once they start reading, they might go on
Indeed, and you’re not gonna get them to start by making them go to a library like some nerd, but by getting them to be interested via the places they’re already at.

Gosh I’m jelly though, I’m in the UK and tap water used to be drinkable, but now it’s more hydrocarbon than hydrogen dioxide these days. Joy of privatised utilities eh?

I’m also neurodivergent. I actually had a library with access to infinite books, it’s called a telephone and/or laptop and the internet, where all books are free and easily accessible.
- Comment on 'Meta Torrented over 81 TB of Data Through Anna's Archive, Despite Few Seeders' * TorrentFreak 3 weeks ago:
It’s complicated.
I know Stable Diffusion best so I’ll speak to that, they used to the LAION-5B dataset, which is, in practice freely available to download and use:
kaggle.com/…/guie-laion-5b-collect-and-download
github.com/opendatalab/laion5b-downloader
It’s also on HuggingFace but it’s unavailable.
huggingface.co/datasets/danielz01/laion-5b
But you can use this smaller newer version:
huggingface.co/datasets/…/relaion2B-en-research
Whether it’s appropriately licensed is an unsolved question though.
The dataset itself and the text portion of the text-imags pairs needed for training is CC-BY-SA, the newer versions linked above are CC-BY-4.0. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en
The images however are technically under their own copyright, which in practice means each of the billions of images could or could not have a licence that implicitly or explicitly forbids AI training use or forbids it only for commercial use.
Whether such a license is legally binding is at present unknown though, since licenses primarily deal with reproductions, which the pro-AI folks argue isn’t the case, and that training of NNs is more akin to viewing an image and memorising the patterns and relationships within, like a person viewing it.
That would make it non-infringing and therefore the model itself libre. In that case Mistral and LLaMa are also libre as long as the model itself is open source, which in this case really means “open weights”, so not like GPT and anything by “”“OpenAI”“”.
Weights are the result of a model being trained essentially. They’re they key bit that makes it or breaks it and how it works. Given that and knowing the structure of the model and framework used you can refine, modify and distribute it.
Those against AI will say that it’s more akin to file compression and that in one form or another it’s misuse. That would make the model an infringing derivative work and as such nor libre even if the model weights are open source.
In a way though you could argue that me vaguely memorising the imagery of a dude dressed in white holding a laser sword is just a lossy compressed copy of the copyrighted work of Star wars, and it’d be absurd to think that’s a violation and that infringement only occurs if I reproduce a work of substantial similarity commercially from that memory.
That’s my own personal stance on the legal side of things, so up to you how you see it.

Lolwut? Public good is self-entitlement? Go read a fucking book. Communists are not pro-copyright, especially not when it only benefits the giant corpos.

As a socialist I believe intellectual property is a falsehood and technological advancement should be for the public good. Open source LLMs are for the public good.
Given the options between having open source LLMs and the US Govt banning non-corpo non-proprietary LLMs and giving a free pass to people like Musk and Altman and Zucc to monopolize, I happily pick the former.

Was obvious to anyone. Nothing wrong with phones except isolating outcasts, neuroduvergents and minorities from the world and forcing them with no escape to suffer the bullying from their teachers and class etc.

Scammy in a sort of eastern european sleazy used car dealership way, I had to talk to their support once about a double charge and it felt like Roman from GTA IV was on the other side.
