  • “Open Source” is mostly the right term. AI isn’t code, so there’s no source code to open up. If you provide the dataset you trained off of, and open up the code used to train the model, that’s pretty close.

    Otherwise, we need to consider “open weights” and “free use” to be more accurate terms.

    For example, ChatGPT 3+ in undeniably closed/proprietary. You can’t download the model and run it on your own hardware. The dataset used to train it is a trade secret. You have to agree to all of OpenAI’s terms to use it.

    LLaMa is way more open. The dataset is largely known (though no public master copy exists). The code used to train is open source. You can download the model for local use, and train new models based off of the weights of the base model. The license allows all of this.

    It’s just not a 1:1 equivalent to open source software. It’s basically the equivalent of royalty free media, but with big collections of conceptual weights.









  • It’s funny that you can now actually do a Pro/Con list about the Idiocracy universe over our own:

    Pros:

    • Lots of diversity
    • Black president
    • President listens to advisors
    • Sex work legal
    • Not crippled by religiosity
    • Puts smart people in positions of power and trust

    Cons:

    • Everyone’s stupid
    • No real due process
    • Public executions
    • Misogyny, homophobia, and ableism are rampant

    Same:

    • Police are knuckle-dragging morons who will murder you
    • President has too much power
    • Costco



  • For thoose who don’t understand I’m a chronic emotional abuser, like I don’t outright threaten to kill myself but everyone around me knows I’m always on the verge to sucide. I’m legitimately a toxic horrible person that holds my friends hostage.

    I know this is gonna sound crazy, but have you considered that you should stop doing that? If you’re deliberately acting suicidal to manipulate people, that’s fucked up, but it does tend to work to some degree. The reason everyone is so fake to you is because you’re fake to them. If you’re going to act like you’re always on the brink of suicide, so will others.

    Why manipulate people to treat you in a way that you don’t want to be treated? That can’t be worth the time and effort.

    You’re the psyop. You created the conditions for the way people act around you. You effectively manipulated the people around you to pity and infantalize you because you act like a wounded animal.








  • Last time he proved how incompetent he is

    Last time he stacked the courts with loyalists who continue to do his bidding. The SCOTUS will basically give him the authority to do whatever he wants now.

    He’ll do that even more this time.

    In 2016 the Conservative establishment expected him to lose and never actually planned around his presidency. Since then they’ve been writing detailed playbooks on how to turn America into a Christian Theocracy.

    You have no idea how fucked we are. The left will never unify because we care about everything, and the right will always unify because they operate as a political cult. We’re not “ratcheting politics to the right” anymore, the cable has snapped and we are in freefall towards fascism.
