FaceDeer

@FaceDeer@fedia.io

Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit and then some time on kbin.social.

The analogy isn't perfect, no analogy ever is.

In this case the content of the search is all that really matters for the quality of the search. What else would you suggest be recorded, the words-per-minute typing speed, the font size? If they want to improve the search system they need to know how it's working, and that involves recording the searches.

It's anonymized and you can opt out. Go ahead and opt out. There'll still be enough telemetry for them to do their work.

You don't think LLMs are being trained off of this content too? Nobody needs to bother "announcing a deal" for it, it's being freely broadcast.

I mean... progress? I guess? The new statue guy doesn't hate as many people...

Maybe, but Trump has already had a weird vendetta against wind turbines for a long time. They had the audacity of being near enough to one of his golf courses that he imagined they might be visible (they're not) and reduce its value. Ever since waking from that night-terror he's been on the warpath.

Got to run out of stuff to burn someday, though. Then things will go back to normal.

The echo-chamberiness of Lemmy is different from Reddit, but still a thing unfortunately. It'll really depend on the community you're in, but since the population of the Fediverse (and especially the Threadiverse) is very small compared to Reddit you tend to have the same people cropping up a lot. I haven't been banned from anywhere (that I know of - I don't actually know if I would get notified) but I find myself hammered with downvotes more frequently here than on Reddit when I say something unpopular.

I'd say, mess around a bit and see.

Now the effort is going into finding reasons not to like things, it seems.

Given he's into cross-species dating he can't be that good a boy.

The example shown was specifically selected because it's funny, not because it's representative.

The fact that you called the tool "chatgpt4" suggests you're not experienced with copilot. They're not the same thing even if they're using similar LLMs as a component.

Within IDEs people go out of their way to install Intellisense so that "shit randomly pops up while they're typing." There are companies whose whole existence depends on people wanting that to happen.

How Zionism became a synonym for violence and oppression (www.theguardian.com)

For decades, Joe Biden has proudly declared that he is a Zionist, and he has repeated that claim since Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel. But for the student anti-war protests gripping the US, the words “Zionist” and “Zionism” have become a watchword – pejorative and emblematic of the violent state policies driving...

I wouldn't exactly call Israel "secular" when it is built around the concept of a particular religious group having special status.

Also pretty sure training LLMs after someone opts out is illegal?

Why? There have been a couple of lawsuits launched in various jurisdictions claiming LLM training is copyright violation but IMO they're pretty weak and none of them have reached a conclusion. The "opting" status of the writer doesn't seem relevant if copyright doesn't apply in the first place.

Existing AIs such as ChatGPT were trained in part on that data so obviously they've got ways to make it work. They filtered out some stuff, for example - the "glitch tokens" such as solidgoldmagikarp were evidence of that.

There are torrents of complete Reddit comment archives available for any random person who wants them, I'm sure Reddit themselves has a comprehensive edit history of everything.

"Model collapse" can be easily avoided by keeping old human data with new synthetic data in the training set. The old archives of Reddit content from before there was AI are still around.

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

You think they don't have the originals archived?

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

By "old archives" I mean everything from 2022 and earlier.

I just did a bit of poking around on the subject of the "right to be forgotten" and it's legally complex. Data without personally identifying information, and data that's been anonymized through statistical analysis (which LLM training is a form of) aren't covered.

FaceDeer,

Surely the use of user-deleted content as training data carries the same liabilities as reinstating it on the live site?

Why would that be? It's not the same.

And what liabilities would there be for reinstating it on the live site, for that matter? Have there been any lawsuits?

Yeah, why aren't regular folks building reusable heavy-lift rocket systems?

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

And even if SLS is an example of non-private rocketry, it's hardly something that should be touted as a positive example. Especially not when launch pace is your criterion.

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

Some are, but they still don't build rockets. I think there's some other factor that's important.

As I said, someone did complain about the caps.

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

I leave the little ring on and nobody's complained yet. I was just told to remove the caps one time, so I kept on throwing those out since then.

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

Very odd. Where I live you're not supposed to return the bottles with the cap, they're different plastics and the recyclers don't want the caps. You're supposed to throw the caps away in the regular trash.
