I’ve found his videos pretty on point in the topics that I’m familiar with.

I’d need more evidence of misleading information than ‘A popular content creator receives an investment’. That’s not proof.

It’s not even implied by the evidence presented outside of an implied conspiracy not built on anything other than a press release.

There may be evidence of foul play somewhere, but it was not presented here.

Study after study has show that human behavior changes when we know we’re being watched. Under observation, we act less free, which means we effectively are less free.

The post is about the actual product they’re selling, not whatever idealized idea of what a ‘proper’ LLM is.

Yes, that is what the post is about.

You didn’t click on reply to the post, you clicked reply under my comment.

In my comment, I was talking about an LLM (I checked with myself) and the other person was also talking about LLMs and on up to the top of the comment chain where we started talking about LLMs in IT systems.

From the context of the conversation, you should understand that we’re talking about LLMs, specifically being in IT having to deal with LLMs. The context should tell you that we’re talking about the actual language models and not the end user applications, like a chatbot.

If they aren’t selling non-chatbot LLMs then that’s irrelevant.

Ok, well this is easy then. Every LLM isn’t sold as a chatbot so I’m not sure why you keep repeating this like it is a point.

If every LLM sold is sold as a chatbot, then this “ummm ackchully” is irrelevant.

Your first comment was ‘ummmm ackchully LLMs are only chatbots’ which is both wrong and ironic.

I can’t forsee anything going wrong with giving Mechahitler access to military secrets.

Thanks!

I wish the forums software would recognize links to other instances and add the correct reference (kind of like how it links to the original comment next to the poster’s name.

The domestic response Donald Trump’s destruction of all of our alliances are giving these other countries the backbone to do the kinds of regulations that bribery have kept away from American tech companies.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, X, should be next.

Why is an online book retailer operating datacenters? How is a search engine 90% of the digital advertising market?

Monopoly powers and corruption, that’s how.

It’s possible that this is what happened.

9TB of torrents isn’t a huge amount, I seed more than that in just a few weeks on a personal/small group seedbox. You could download 9TB in an hour or two if you had a datacenter’s link speed and hardware.

The entire comment chain is about LLMs, not chatbots.

A LLM’s output is deterministic.

A from an IT system point of view, a system using LLMs is only non-deterministic if the system adds randomness. The randomness isn’t inherent to the LLM and any added randomness is typically created by a seed which could be replicated across number of system images leading to deterministic output across every image clone.

From the point of view of the typical user the computer may as well be a magical box controlled by a tiny fairy so any talk of deterministic output is irrelevant.

Yes, exactly.

I know they don’t teach this in outrage school but making negative generalizations about a gender is bigotry, misandry specifically. It doesn’t become any less of a negative generalization about men if you add a a few qualifiers.

I made a negative generalization about misandrist Blahj users and you got upset. Unless you are actually a literal misandrist Blahj user and were upset at me calling you out specifically then the comment wasn’t about you and yet you felt compelled to reply. It seems like you get the point.

Is this any better?:

70% of all blahj users are Misandrist.

Does the percentage makes it less of a negative generalization or do you understand the point that I was making?

They advertise and are professionally licensed. Many specialize in counter-surveillance.

Other then the advice to “look”, theres not much you can do.

To do this in a way that will locate well-hidden devices you should hire a professional who owns the right tools.

Otherwise, install kismet and monitor for unknown BLE and wifi signals and use video surveillance to detect people attempting to remove passive devices.

You won’t be able to locate devices that use other wireless technology without specialized tools.

If this is a serious worry then hire a professional

You can set it to default to the Subscribed feed in your settings.

Hire a private investigator that owns all of the tools

A thing broke, yay

e: Ahem, I mean: A thing broke

yay

Misandry and blahaj users, a match that keeps on matchin’.

But wouldn’t their IT infrastructure block random employees from running torrents on the network?

Not if the employees in question control the IT infrastructure.

I’m sorry that you read that as an actual literal argument instead of a satire comment

LLM outputs are 100% deterministic.

If you enter the same prompt with the same seed you will get the same vector outputs.

Chatbots take those vector outputs and treat them as a distribution and select a random token. This isn’t a property of the LLMs, it’s a property of chatbots.

In the same spirit of pointless gatekeeping.

You only pressed the buttons. That’s hardly any of the work required for your text to show up on all of our computers.

You didn’t translate the pulses from your key switches into USB signals, or write the kernel code which translated those inputs into scancodes, or write the browser code which displayed the form box that packaged your text into an HTTP POST request. None of your work went into the firmware on the routers which carried your data and you didn’t do a bit of work burying the cables between those routers.

I haven’t check but I’m pretty sure you’re not a datacenter employee in Finland so you don’t contribute to the labor required to manage the servers, you probably don’t contribute to the Lemmy project or Mozilla/Chromium projects.

Your post is the result of a huge amount of tools, services in infrastructure that you had no hand in inventing, deploying or maintaining.

All you did was provide a few grams of force to some thermoplastic and sparked a few neurons.

All of your interaction with technology is mediated by other technology.

We all understand that when we say ‘I went on the Internet’ we’re not picturing a person, with no technological assistance whatsoever, inducing current into a wire in encoded pulses according to IEEE 802.3 and scratching the resulting HTML in the dirt with a stick.

So, when someone comes along and says ‘Well, actually, you didn’t do anything because YOUR BROWSER went on the Internet.’ it isn’t actually describing a difference.

Here, the comment isn’t making any argument on why this differentiation matters. It’s just changing the framing to bait anti-AI engagement.

They likely also used other technology, like an IDE, syntax highlighting, auto completion, a linter, git, a programming language that they didn’t invent themselves, libraries made by others… etc.

Implying ‘if they use x tool’ then they didn’t build it is pointless gatekeeping that doesn’t add anything to the discussion except create an on-ramp for more anti-ai bot content.

They’re not going to argue in good faith. The point of a lot of commenters in this place is to generate and share outrage-bait on this topic, not to participate a reasoned debate.

I think that AI is being pushed as a product idea that isn’t feasible and the people involved are spending a ton of money and negatively disrupting markets/power grids/water access/etcetc across the world but also understand that neural networks and the Transformer model are incredible inventions that have a wide range of applications.

This position seems to be heresy to many accounts that comment here.
