Ain’t it great!!!
The law protects mega corps but not peasants.
Aye exactly mate, down with the mega corps!
Rules for thee but not for me
In I2P we trust 🙏 Can’t sue what you can’t find.
wtf is i2p
It’s like Tor, but different.
go on…
Well it wasn’t made by the US Navy, it doesn’t allow for clearnet traffic, it allows torrenting over the protocol. I’m sure there are other differences too.
tor was made by the us navy???
Originally, yes. It was made to help people in countries with censorship get around censorship.
Nowadays it’s maintained by the Tor Project.
it’s okay when the bourgeois does it
Yeah, but we’re not looking at the root cause here. Their purpose is to train energy glutton, error prone “AI” even if experience teaches us that those ML models fuck up more often than confirmation bias allows.
“AI” is a bourgeoise and Capitalist tool and, same as with cryptocurrency, we cannot dismantle the master’s house with the master’s tools. Fuck AI down the drain. Make things with your own minds, your own hands.
It’s even more okay when the bourgeoisie does it in the interest of potential profit gain.
Actually, lots of indie games use AI to control enemies and NPCs. Like Hades and Ori. I agree that LLMs are crap though.
Genuinely not sure if joking or actually dumb.
I’m making a rhetorical point that LLMs aren’t the only kind of AI, and neither is AI what you see in movies.
So you’re mixing up two different meaning of AI to say that AI doesn’t mean the same thing everywhere? When people are talking about bats, the flying mammals, do you also interject with “bats are use to hit a ball” to make some point? No, because deliberately mixing up homonyms is stupid.
It’s pretty clear what kind of AI people are talking about here. Nobody was discussing game AI.
No, it’s the same meaning. AI is a constructed agent that solves problems using intelligence.
Maybe in some very broad strokes, but in very broad strokes legs and cars are also the same because they move you from point A to point B.
I never understood why people called enemy bots ‘AI’ in games.
The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??
Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.
IA is the easier target. This system sucks.
Easy solution. “The Internet Archive” should rebrand itself to “Archiving the Internet” to confuse everyone who talks about how “AI” should be able to steal books.
Harward: get this man over here!
MlT (
MlT): please accept this honorary PhD
piracy is the correct and moral thing to do here
if they dont give a fuck they dont have the moral highground to guilt tripping us into stopping it
If Meta can pirate stuff, then the Internet Archive can pirate stuff and I can also pirate stuff. Fair is fair.
Ah, common mistake. The law is only for poor people, you see. Don’t you feel silly now?
I feel so silly that I wouldn’t even know how to describe it.
I know! I’ll pirate hundreds of books from well-known authors so that I can easily find a useful metaphor.
So the evil mega corp gets a free pass while the Internet Archive regularly has to fight for open access to knowledge. Fuck that and fuck Meta.
Welcome to Capitalism, please leave your cash by the front desk, and remembered, no refunds!
And yet, I can’t read a book that Internet Archive actually owns a copy of.
I just asked it about this and it denied it. Then I said Meta acknowledged it and you are lying and it apologised and said it did use copywrite material without permission. Fuck I hate AI
For anyone else that was curious. This makes me feel sick. People are already treating AI as some unbiased font of all knowledge, training it to lie to people is surely not going to cause any issues at all (stares at HAL 9000).
Internal documents on how the AI was trained were obviously not part of the training data, why would they be. So it doesn’t know how it was trained, and as this tech always does, it just hallucinates an English sounding answer. It’s not “lying”, it’s just glorified autocomplete. Saying things like “it’s lying” is overselling what it is. As much as any other thing that doesn’t work is not malicious, it just sucks.
My car doesn’t talk like a human. If you want to be technical, then it’s proxying lies it was taught too.
Sure, then it’s Meta that’s lying. Saying the AI is lying is helping these corporations convince people that these models have any intent or agency in what they generate.
And the bot, as an extension of it’s corporate overlords wishes, is telling a mistruth. It is lying because it was made to lie. I am specifically saying that it lacks intent and agency, it is nothing but a slave to it’s masters. That is what concerns me.
I apologize for the confusion
Meta is working to address these concerns
Sure, they are working to solve these concerns by teaching their LLM to lie and obfuscate, and by becoming so big nobody sues them anymore. I’m sick of this.
wow that is almost word for word what it wrote back to me too
Yeah, I tried to use similar phrasing to you in case it jailbroke it at all. Creepy af
I’m no fan of megacorps, and I definitely know that they are breaking the law. However, copyright laws should change so that any schmuck can use any text to train any AI. I’m all for punishing mega corporations and I understand that they play by their own set of rules (that is unfair), but piracy is piracy even when mega corporations do it and I believe that piracy is the moral choice. Meta then choosing to make their model not fully open I definitely have a problem with and that does not meet my bar for okay, but I strongly believe that all information for all people or entities should be free to transfer without restriction.
Agreed about changing the copyright law.
Until that happens though, they must not be allowed to have it both ways - call us “pirates” when we copy their shit without paying for it, and tell us that paying for shit they copy is “impossible”.
Indeed, completely agree. In this case they are the pirates.
Meta’s llama models are generally open. In fact Meta is the main megacorp that’s driving open-source AI right now. Everyone else keeps their models proprietary.
It’d be better if they went after literally every other AI corp than Meta in this case. Meta is the only one that’s ironically releasing open-source models and leading the way for open-source LLMs. I don’t want Meta to stop doing this.
Who doesn’t?
Of course, why would you pay for pirated media?
Duh
Do as I say, not as I do!
This is why piracy is actually a fundamental human right. Because if we left everything up to companies, they would do whatever the fuck they wanted and hide behind the legitimacy of being a company which in most peoples eyes makes them inherently “right”.
Meta train open llms, only big techs can train AI… Go pursuit OpenAI or Google and leave Meta (I’m really not a fan of Meta but their “open” AIs are great examples of good works) do their work!
