@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
