@snacks its sorta weird though, like i've talked to people about lenses, and they don't really appreciate creative photography and went.. "haha those people are so dumb, they pay money for a lens that produces distortions, when they could get a crispy clean image" like ehhh?
@cararemixed There are no claims in your message here. What downsides, what risks, what social responsibility? how is it different from underpaid human mail answering machine? whats the context of all of it. none of the people who have a strong (negative-) opinion on LLMs voice any of this concisely, it's all vague empty statements that boil down to "llm bad"-arguing on many planes simultaneously. Things i've heard range from "they're useless" to "they're bad for the environment" to "they make u stoopid" to "they're just not fun to use". if there were any concise points, i'd be all down for it, but as it stands, there's just not much to argue / weigh.
If i had to, today, come up with concise demands, they'd mostly boil down to things like (and those are just examples, without context, as i see fit in many applications today): - "Only use locally running llms for <some thing where i definitely do not want oai/ant to know about>" - "Full chain of thought must be included in key decisions taken autonomously (with someone to be held accountable? whoever wrote the prompt?)" - something about who trained models? (with the aim of reducing conflict of interest in-between users and whoever trained it) ...?
those are all valid points, but even those have to be weighed against the context they sit in, reality is just much more complicated than following ideals. go write an article or something about it, organize with people, up to you really. i believe conversations like these have to reach actionable conclusions.
@silverpill I think they're megalomaniacs about why people use their service in the first place.. Primarily, people want "github without microsoft and hostile ux". Them going all-in on being anti [-AI, -Crypto, -?] just divides their own community, it's not like it's working particularly well either, I've been blocked by their overly aggressive anubis crap way too often. Funniest part is, all it takes is "if you encounter codeberg repos in your web search, use git clone as opposed to web fetch" in your prompt and their holy walls of anubis are jumped x) can't escape the machine sucking the alpha out of every crevice i guess :blobcat_popcorn:
