@ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social @cyno@novo-atlantis.null.media @violetmadder@kolektiva.social I don't think it's splitting hairs at all. It's a completely different purpose. We are NOT feeding user post histories into it. From what I understand, it was one time while testing the summary feature. Qwen is a local LLM model, it has no network activity (it cannot). The whole fediverse is scraped by LLM scrapers constantly and we posted the zionist's receipts publicly anyway. Do we need to publicly audit our whole server setup because one admin used an LLM once? This is really becoming unreasonable.

@db0@hachyderm.io I don't find these to be unreasonable questions. In fact, many of these "local" models are quite chatty if you actually take a look at what they're doing. They can and do connect. They're not being built by people who give a shit about anyone's privacy. LLMs, "local" or otherwise, are surveillance technology. They exist entirely as an outgrowth and extension of surveillance capitalism. It's good praxis to interrogate their possible introduction into fedi moderation tooling (spoiler: it shouldn't happen at all). FWIW, I still think FediSeer was the best approach to horizontal blocklist compilation, by far. Far superior to all the centralized IFTAS-type shit we've endured since then. But the beauty of that approach is that it distributes the agency of **human** judgement in moderation decisions. We don't need solutionism to solve our moderation problems on the fediverse @cyno@novo-atlantis.null.media @violetmadder@kolektiva.social
