  I agree. Also. because of the way they work and how people use them, all LLM are dangerous.

  Threads’ plan is to implement the ActivityPub protocol, the one the fediverse is based on. In theory threads could then be federated with other ActivityPub servers (Mastodon and Lemmy for example). In practice, many instance admins saw it as meta’s way to invade that space with their own proprietary bullshit on top of it so they can progressively take control of it. So many decided to block threads as soon as it would be able to federate with their instance.

  Until they started to generate slopilot labels for them. Because nothing is safe from the slop.

  It was just not good enough for “We wrote a sci-fi story”.

  He “fell into the trap of hallucinations”. Yeah, maybe we need to stop pretending people who ask LLM to slop their work for them are victims. “Look, the robot found an irresistible quote, how could I not use it?!” That’s great journalism for you.

  I don’t live near big scaly things full of teeth, so what do I know, but making it thrash about in anger would not be my first idea.

  Yeah, part of the usual “it’s not bad, you’re using it wrong” arsenal. Definitely not the clever hack they think it is. This probably has as much potential to create new errors as to find old ones. LLMs are trained to be “helpful”, if you tell it with total confidence something is wrong, it will answer like there is something to correct, and anything will do. So even if it had something about right to begin with, now it will thank you for your “insightful” question and output some bullshit t...

  I think I’m too sober for this shit.

  Well, another big hint is how the thing answered by addressing a username that wasn’t part of the exchange, twice. If it’s even manually copy-pasted, the guy doing that didn’t allocate a single braincell to what was being discussed.

  would increase costs For us? Microsoft licences aren’t exactly cheap, keep getting more expensive, and every single basic functionality is an extra. cybersecurity risks, Trust the megacorp with a huge target on its back that will deny any responsibility when it fucks up instead. limit AI and cloud services Sounds exclusively like a “you” problem. expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship, Sure, give that control to the US gove...

  The reason they’re cheaper is because the carrier is expecting to keep you locked in their network. Not worth it IMO. Similar to cheaper phones with loads of preinstalled crap, you’re not getting a discount, you’re signing a deal to be farmed. I don’t buy very expensive phones, but I try to find ones that are mostly free of crap (not easy), and I’m ready to pay a bit extra for that.
