- Comment on ‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment. 3 days ago:
?!!? Before genAI it was hires human manipulators. Ypur argument doesn’t exist. We cannot call edison a witch and go back in caves because new tech creates new threat landscapes.
Humanity adapts to survive and survives to adapt. We’ll figure some shit out
- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 1 week ago:
I know people like to hate on google, but google is actually like 3 companies in a trench coat.
They do highly valuable open source / open ecosystem work (I will say the chance of you indirectly using a google tool without knowing is over 90% now) and if the American government, a capitalist fascist government no less, gets their hands on it, we’re fucked
Not all of google is adsense or YouTube.
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 1 week ago:
I’ve seen this stupidity all over lemmy. It’s like, people “group psychology” -ed this thought into the central culture of lemmy and refuse to budge.
It also doesn’t help that capitalists are using AI to take people’s jobs and also a misunderstanding of how image diffusion works had lead to the artistic line of people to also hate AI
Nobody likes to fucking listen. People like to be smug.

Oh fucking -please-
This place is genuinely more insufferable than Reddit. That is actually an achievement
Whatever dude, writhe in your own ignorance
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 1 week ago:
Mozilla works mainly on LOCAL AI not this corporate trash like closedAI
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 1 week ago:
I don’t fucking understand why Lemmy is permanently stuck in 2023 with AI
Using RAG (retrieval augmented generation) results in much lower, almost negligible confabulation rates
- Comment on Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds 2 weeks ago:
download “LM Studio” and you can download models and run them through it
I recommend something like an older Mistral model (FOSS model) for beginners, then move on to Mistral Small 24B, QwQ 32B and the likes
- Comment on Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds 2 weeks ago:
First, please answer, do you want everything FOSS or are you OK with a little bit of proprietary code because we can do both
- Comment on Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds 2 weeks ago:
Fuck ClosedAI
I want everyone here to download an inference engine (use llama.cpp) and get on open source and open data AI RIGHT NOW!
- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 2 weeks ago:
OK you walk the walk I respect that
If you could be arsed, it’s entirely possible to train an LLM with 10 PCs using strictly open source and ethical datasets available on huggingface (although not something that is going to beat SOTA models)
- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 2 weeks ago:
That is a one time cost. Do you add the cost of every single watt of electricity ever generated, the cost of making factories, extracting materials and so on, to the “climate impact” of electrical rail service or EVs?
This is just hysteria, I’m going to be absolutely deadass with you
Also, you theoretically could make an LLM entirely on your own PC, it’d just take a bit of time
- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 2 weeks ago:
This is … Incredibly dumb.
The whole climate impact of AI is overstated a million times over. You can run a perfectly capable, GPT 4o destroying LLM on your own GPU right now. What is the difference between jonkling to vidya gaems or running an LLM for doing something productive for a fucking change?
The servers running the network you posted this shit over , the servers used to develop your favorite Gacha coom game, the servers used to deliver your shit ass Xitter feed, or your Netflix garbage, use more power than AI and LLMs are actually actively more productive than that shit

- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 2 weeks ago:
SCMP is one of the most libshit news in China
Also, chill it cracker, it’s news about a reactor, we don’t need your state dept. programming here

It is the united states, people already be living like that before the nukes
- Comment on One Piece Director Megumi Ishitani Calls For Legal Action Against OpenAI: 'Can't Stand Ghibli Being Treated So Cheaply' 3 weeks ago:
Mate there are literally thousands of open diffusion models. You can go to civit.ai (porn models, mostly) or huggingface and find open source models trained on publicly available training sets.

Holy fucking shit
How did you find this archeological piece?

God I hate this. I much prefer writing to videos.
