Wut? I see no logo on their website.

Nevermind that he’s never gotten this angry or political on any of his YT videos.

If you’re a regular on YouTube, then you already know Technology Connections is one of those must-watch YouTubers.

I save NINETY FUCKING MINUTES of my life.

I save 2 hours of my life by not watching a movie and not being entertained by an experience. But then I’m just filling it with something less impactful, more mundane bullshit.

Some things are worth putting the time into. Complaining about how long it is doesn’t change the fact that it’s WORTH NINETY FUCKING MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE!

It’s amazing that this is now a downvoted opinion.

The overall concept seemed fine, but it’s mired in some truly dogshit design decisions.

It’s kind-of funny. Nowadays, I find the AI search assistants (I used the one with Kagi) work better than search results with all of these shitty AI sites.

We’re back to the age of pre-StackOverflow, when Expert Sex Change was always plaguing my search results with fucking pay-to-view bullshit. Except it’s free-but-useless websites now.

Meh, it won’t be long before Reddit admins will crackdown on posts and start their usual censorship campaigns.

Who the fuck calls Instagram “IG”?

Copyright as it is now is an injustice.

At best, copyright with a limit of 25 years, the law before Mark Twain fucked all of us over, would suck a lot less.

At worst, corporations would still exploit it to totality, because they have money, and you don’t.

Copyright was created with an agreement that the public would receive their public domain dues in a timely manner. The corpos broke that contract with the public. Therefore, piracy is not only justified, but a moral duty to preserve what corporations casually throw away, or exploit with mindless memberberries.

I would not be sad at all to see the entirety of copyright completely abolished. Open source is already doing a damn good job, and AI might end up hammering the final nail.

whether the victim was 18 years old or 17.”

I kind of get what he’s saying here, especially when draconian California laws can put 18-year-olds in prison for daring to have sex with a 17-year-old, when they are both in high school. (I think they finally fixed that legal gap, but it existed for a long time.)

But, completely outside the whole age and human brain development “debate”, there’s also power dynamics at play here that aren’t even considered. Epstein is a powerful man that used his influence to coerce girls to have sex with other powerful men. Even if she was 18 or 25, a woman in that position is still being exploited, with human trafficking in the mix.

It’s not easy, but it’s done all the time. New models, new LoRAs, and in some cases, the training data doesn’t even need to be very large for a specific task.

You don’t need the entire training dataset that the model was built from.

The good thing about open models is that you can train the biases and rules out of them. The weights are not concrete.

Noooooooo… but I like free stuff! What do you mean it’s a scam?!?

Because most LLMs draw at random from all of the inputs they have gobbled up,

They don’t “draw at random”. When you access a memory, you don’t draw at random. There are specific linkages to neurons in your brain that direct you there. Same concept with LLMs.

and because most LLM tuners are currently aiming for novelty rather than quality

We’re already past the novelty phase. It’s still a bit of a mess right now in certain sectors, but higher quality LLMs, ones that perform better than their previous generation, are the primary goals of LLM researchers.

I’m only doing it to try to poison LLM training data

If you think a letter substitution hack is going to poison LLM training data, when an LLM itself can easily decipher your “code”, then I have some Nigerian princes who would love to donate millions of dollars in cash to you.

Also, companies have been doing this on a regional or even local level for decades. Why do you think they always ask for your zip code or geolocation when you just want to pull up a menu for Taco Bell?

Well, “laid off” and “fired” are two different things. It sounds like this is closer to being laid off.

But, regardless, nobody gets laid off for reporting sexual harassment.

Tell me you’re a corpo lackey buying into the “synergy speak” without telling me directly.

“Made redundant”? WTF, BBC?
