RE: https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/116424709251813699 A day later and indeed almost all replies are variations of &quot;Oh no not like that&quot;. (This post is not an argument for or against LLMs, I&#39;m simply noting people decided to confirm what @mjg59 said)

@suihkulokki@society.oftrolls.com @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer what I find interesting is how people talk about "ethical issues" like a million kittens were killed for training the LLMs, as opposed to the reality: copyrights and IPs were violated. Interestingly it's mostly the same people who would have otherwise agreed 💯 on disregarding them, if it weren't for corporates benefitting from them.

@suihkulokki@society.oftrolls.com @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer I mean, people thinking LLMs, especially the one anyone actually uses, are a bad solution to that problem with externalities they don't find acceptable, causing lock-in to predatory rent seekers for creating software, are going to say that. What's your point?

@suihkulokki@society.oftrolls.com @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer I mean, it's kind of a setup. Us: Hunger can be addressed by eating. Them: Us: Not like that! Not equivocating infanticide and cannibalism with LLM use, just noting it's trivial to bait people into confirming one's argument.
