Why is that? The electricity burned is about the same, no? Of course, the impact is more distributed.

Forget about everything related to the prompt itself being processed for the moment. What other information do you think they are grabbing and processing along with the prompt? Maybe some data about you and your interactions for resale? Account info? Piecing together details about you perhaps, for some of that highly-targeted-advertising-data companies love to sell?

Even the comment you are replying to, IMO, is pretty conservative about the actual energy savings.

Decommissioned USFF business PCs if you want something that can handle a lot and a bit larger is OK.

In that size I’d say OrangePi or Radxa, but depends in your use case for which.

Pixelfed not piefed, fyi

I’d say so, afaik they only go as small as a CF in 4TB.

Silverware would probably be the oldest, my wife’s grandmother bought them in the early 1900s as antiques, and then some “modern” accessories that matched, now antiques themselves. They get used on special occasions mostly.

I have a slow cooker thats ~30yrs old, works great.

The DVD/VHS player with FireWire for minidv is also used while I convert old family videos to digital, and my old dv camcorder is now in my daughter’s hands to try making movies with her friends.

I’m sure there’s more, but thats off the top of my head.

(Removed the copy/paste accident from work crap)

Well you can build models yourself, but definitely not the ones they are using. Those you can modify, but thats about it, as you said.

Its not even a distro. Its arch with dotfiles. Literally.

No repos, no custom packages, etc. Just arch with sloppy dotfiles.

Awesome - I had it on my list (not having seen anything about it) because it seemed ridiculous and up my alley, so you’ve got me ready to check it out :) (Well, at least 50% of it)

So now I’m considering watching the first 6 episodes, that part actually seems like it was pretty fun. I’m also cool with comedy and lighthearted bits, so long as there is more going on.

The second half just seems like a different story got shoved in there… Thats kind of awful.

So 6 and drop? Good or bad plan?

He associated with Defend the Atlanta Forest, which due to being against Cop City, has been flagged as a terrorist organization by the fascists in charge.

There is literally no other reason to be found.

His lawyers have already found (through internal CBP emails) that they flagged him for suspected terrorism because he was associated with Defend the Atlanta Forest.

They internally categorized the group as anti-government, anti-authority, and a violent extremist group.

He protested against Cop City and associated with a non-violent, peaceful org that also protested against Cop City. Thats it.

I don’t know what the fuck he did to get on the FBI radar

…

Dude is just protesting the construction of a large cop training facility near him.

That is what did it.

Ugh just think if you had a screen reader how that would come out (even though its more full words that read entirely different).

Meanwhile the font will just be checked for and an immediate discard for training. So no poisoning, and for such a small portion that it wouldn’t impact ingest in the slightest.

Meanwhile they ignore the actual damn problem.

I’m just applying the same logic you did.

How much impact do these fonts have for LLMs scraping data?

Do you think the poisoning percentage will have any actual impact? Or do you think it would have an outsized effect on individuals?

Thats the point the very first comment makes - this method sucks. It impacts real people with a real need, and the impact on llms is nothing. Discard data in training.

Its meaningless, and the only real impact is people.

You are the one reading that as “dont do anything!”, which is the same energy as me replying to you with “why do you hate people with disabilities???”.

This is an AI LLM issue.

How?

Using disabled people as an excuse to discourage people from fighting isn’t right, especially when no solutions are presented.

So you dont care if disabled people are able to use screen readers? Clearly this is your message, right? Not just a bad interpretation of a simple sentence?

The underlying message is, quite plainly, disabled people with screen readers don’t matter. The potential to poison the tiniest sliver of a fraction of scrapes content is more important.

I don’t like where this is going and I’ve seen disabled people used in arguments by people who know nothing of their struggles my entire life.

As someone with family members who used screen readers (among others), your dismissal of this very important use case tells me you know absolutely nothing of their struggles either, and that you are using the possible ignorance of someone else as a dismissal of an actual issue.

Please explain how “this isn’t effective, but does negatively impact regular people” is the same as “don’t fight back”.

I’d love to hear this explanation. Please. Enlighten me.

Edit: I will take your downvote as your response then.

Personally I find it weird that you’re simultaneously mad that people are saying “Don’t fuck over regular people” while simultaneously seeming to argue against fighting capitalism itself by trying to repeatedly reframe this as an AI/LLM issue.

The cause of the problem is being bolstered by the companies that make gen AI

Whether its gen ai or something else, the root cause is the same.

You are suggesting something that breaks things for a good number of people and has little to no impact on a specific subset of a specific type of company is the only way to fight back.

That is nonsense.

There is no value in telling people to stop fighting.

Let’s see what was written.

TLDR; It fucks up accessibility for blind people (amongst others).

Its also pretty futile imo. AI is reading billions of words from books and posts. A handful of users obfuscating their posts is not going to do anything.

I don’t believe I saw “stop fighting” in those sentences.

I did see “this fucks things up for many people, and this has little to no impact on ai scraping.”

You have a very different interpretation of those sentences from me. I’d also point out the root of the issue has nothing to do with llm’s, and everything to do with capitalism.

Maybe try fighting the cause of the problem rather than the most recent means of exploitation?

Ahah, a person of culture!

was such a fucking [dipshit | jackass | asshole | incompetent | fool | asswipe]

There are so many fun words to use!

The problem in there is corporations. AI is just the means of the dickery, not the cause.

I would also go further and say the root cause is capitalism, and that someone being able to eat or be housed should not be based on whether or not their art has met the criteria for corporate purchase. But I digress.
