One of the worst parts of this boom in LLM models is the fact that they can “invade” online spaces and control a narrative. For an example, just go on twitter and scroll to the comments on any tagesschau (german news site) post- it’s all rightwing bots and crap. LLMs do have uses, but the big problem is that a bad actor can basically control any narrative with the amount of sheer crap they can output. And OpenAI does nothing- even though they are the biggest provider. It earns them money, after all.

I also can’t really think of a good way to combat this. If you would verify people using an ID, you basically nuke all semblance of online anonymity. If you have some sort of captcha, it will probably be easily bypassed- it doesn’t even need to be tricked. Just pay some human in a country with extremely cheap labour that will solve it for your bot. It really sucks.

same energy (and impact) as “X formerly known as Twitter”

Exactly, this isn’t about any sort of AI, this is the old playbook of trying to digitally track images, just with the current label slapped on. Regardless of your opinion on AI, this is a terrible way to solve this.

actual example please not like your other friend Luddite on the other comment

disregarding the fact that the model learns and extrapolates from the training data, not copying,

have fun figuring out which model made the image in the first place!

you’re gonna have a bad time restricting software

I wish that would stop Nintendo.

yeah- mistral and llama are the ones you want to looks at- grok is too big to run even on enterprise cards (and sucks worse than a model my pi can run)

Eh surprisingly they often break less on arch in my experience

Undertale. It was the best game I’ve ever played and I can never play it again. This game lives rent free in my head, in my fanworks, in the music I listen to and make. It’s a game that combines technology and art.

terrifying

oh, definitely, it‘s just not quite at the same level of windows. But I’m exited for the near future where it very well may be!

VR specifically is kind of a nightmare with older headsets. Kinda hoping Valve will do something there too.
