I’m not a troll, I just call other people out for their BS.

I think most of lemmy.today is bad faith astroturfing.

This is not the first time !PapaSkwat@lemmy.today has preemptively banned me from a community I’m pretty sure I’ve never interacted with.

This is a warning for others. Do not assume posts on Lemmy.today are real or in good faith.

Here is a related post with similar circumstances.

    I agree that locally hosted FOSS llms and genAI models would be a better option than something like Anthropic’s Claude.

    But actually my largeest concerns are not alleviated by local hosting.

    • Isolation of humanity
    • severing of our ties to community
    • increasing predictability
    • method of control

    And this is assuming that this facsimile of stolen human intelligence (all open source models were still trained on unauthorized human content) can have a low rate of error.

    Even when fine tuning or using RAG, the rates of model collapse and catastrophic failure are very high. And those rates compound the more these “tools” are used in the same context windows.

    Plainly put, it would be better to ask for help from a human than from a genAI.

      I agree with your idea, but reality is that many humans are shitty people. Or just ignorant. They have been long before AI, and will continue to be long after AI. Even in this very thread, comments have been removed just today and the mods here banned him from this community for his ugly transphobic behavior. And the poster admitted he just created the username today just to say that shit here. I’d take AI over that guy any fucking day.

      I’m not arguing that you should like AI. Feel free to hate it. Feel free to boycott it. I’m just giving you some background about the nuance of it. Also, this is a pro-AI instance (concerning local llms, not coporate ones) that we’re having this discussion on.
