sighh im so distant to all my oomfs nowadays... some time ago I had like an awesome sauce friend group on here I often interacted with but outside of some very awesome sealtwt oomfs it's not really the case anymore...
my casual (mostly) blind deltarune playthrough is so far behind like no i dont have insert item because i didnt obsess about spoiling myself to be completionist, blehhhh..
I gotta do a full completionist run but that is gonna be a slog.
@Pirat_Nation missed the point award for this company, it doesnt really compete in the same area as the steam machine but yeah it's a better buy for like 98% of people.
@marwut_@f4micom Is there any company and llm whos training set isn't stolen from people without their consent or which uses an immense amount of energy?
@marwut_@f4micom not what I was implying as I fully get that, but even if resistance is futile we should still really try our best to at least partially aid in slowing it down.
@cprisongs@f4micom you are still using a product which was created in an unethical manner through in a multitude of different ways, it is just not moral to use it as a whole, even if you are not directly supporting them financially you are still supporting the practice.
@cprisongs@f4micom yeah and you, by doing that, are supporting the practice, this is literally the exact argument everyone uses for why they shouldnt boycott 'the product is already there, why waste it?' like... because the whole POINT is to not support the practice and companies associated.
@f4micom by using the product, you are indeed, supporting the product, that is the issue.
'it's already there to be used anyway' yeah and people like you are why it as a technology will be continued to be pushed until oblivion, you are supporting an immoral practice, like.
@f4micom the whole 'it doesnt use much energy per generation' argument just seems to kinda entirely lose the point of what a boycott is.
you don't use generative AI because the training uses an immense amount of resources and the data for it is gained unethically, that is why.
@jksheals leaving finishing the chapter tomorrow 4 myself because I burnt myself out trying to beat the secret boss and I don't wanna go further without doing so!!
@notnullptr@coriposting but hey if you can train your own LLM from scratch without using others data and not supporting any companies which do so then like feel free to use that.
@notnullptr@coriposting I fear you near entirely missed my point so I'm unsure what to say here, yes, we're mentioning training, because training IS the issue of AI, it is what makes it unethical to support.
it is the same reason you boycott anything even if it's readily available to you already.
