@AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space the externalities are not so visible in operational use of local-on-your-laptop open-weight models. It’s the open web being used for “pillage” without consent: - Code, opt out if you don’t want - https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/in-the-stack - Business & personal website servers going “ban(g/krupt)” under load of millions of scraper requests-https://mastodon.social/@dahukanna/116976638741281226 No regard of sustainable use of limited environmental resources consumed during months of model training & operating cloud data centers, etc.
