  Yeah he should be using real art like stock photos and shitty clip art

  When you read that stuff on reddit there’s a parameter you need to keep in mind : these people are not really discussing Lemmy. They’re rationalizing and justifying why they are not on Lemmy. Totally different conversation.

  Nobody wants to come out and say “I know mainstream platforms are shit and destroying the fabric of reality but I can’t bring myself to be on a platform except it is the Hip Place to Be”. So they’ll invent stuff that paints them in a good light.

  You’ll still see people claiming that Mastodon is unusable because you have to select an instance - even though you don’t have to, you can just type Mastodon on Google, click the first link, and create an account in 2 clicks. It’s been ages. But the people still using Twitter need the excuse because otherwise what does it make them?

  I don’t remember people being offended by the word fuck in 2000. Sure on TV it could be considered dicey but on the internet it was pretty fair game

  “i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”

  Haha yeah the top execs were tripping balls if they thought some off-the-shelf product would be able to answer this kind of expert questions. That’s like trying to replace an expert craftsman with a 3D printer.

  What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ? I’ve found that general “chatbot” things are hit and miss but more domain-constrained tasks (such as extracting structured entities from unstructured text) are pretty reliable even on smaller models. I’m not counting my chickens yet as my dataset is still somewhat small but preliminary testing has been very promising in that regard.

  Most projects I’ve been in contact with are very aware of that fact. That’s why telemetry is so big right now. Everybody is building datasets in the hopes of fine tuning smaller, cheaper models once they have enough good quality data.

  Did you listen to that hardcore history episode? It was crazy

  That’s the problem with imaginary enemies. They have to be both ridiculously incompetent, and on the verge of controlling the whole world. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

  But what if that money goes to art I don’t personally like?
