lmao what did you just say about Hexbear, lib? 💀 I’ll have you know I’m a tier-5 giga-brained poster with a PhD in Leninist praxis from the University of Posters, and I have 300+ confirmed dunks on Lemmy.ml sockpuppets. I was radicalized in the trenches of r/ChapoTrapHouse, forged in the fires of permabans, and tempered in the meme wars of 2019. You are literally nothing to me but another bootlicker running on 80% State Dept. talking points and 20% soy. I will ratio you so hard your precious little upvote count will never recover. You think you can just roll up in here, talk shit about Hexbear, and not get absolutely obliterated by dialectical praxis in 4K? Think again, bucko. As we speak, my cadre of Discord tankies are screen-capping your posts, cross-referencing them with your cringe comment history, and drafting a 12-point rebuttal with citations from Stalin, Mao, and that one screenshot of Bernie saying ‘chill with the anti-communism.’ The storm that’s coming for you is called material conditions, and guess what? They’re not in your favor. I’ve got Lenin’s collected works and a folder full of spicy memes, and I’m not afraid to deploy both. You’re already owned, kid. You just don’t know it yet. Now go touch grass, comrade, before I drop another 3k-word comment that makes you cry and log off.

I don't know how anyone could think otherwise

I think a lot of people in this thread are overlooking that when you train an LLM it's good to have negative examples too. As long as the data is properly tagged and contextualized when being used as training material, you want to be able to show the LLM what bad writing or offensive topics are so that it understands those things.

For example, you could be using an LLM as an automated moderator for a forum, having it look for objectionable content to filter. How would it know what objectionable content was if it had never seen anything like that in its training data?

Even those people attempting to "poison" AI by posting gibberish comments or replacing "th" with þ characters are probably just helping the AI understand how text can be obfuscated in various ways.

hmmm....

Shit I clicked expecting some furry porn. Oh boy...

and so many people were praising them for that decision, because it was totally going to make everyone ditch Threads and move to Mastodon.

Why yes, I can help you with your coding problem. Here is the solution :

public void Solution()
{
    string bill = "d Bill";
    string goo = "A Goo";
    string ion = "ionnaire";
    while(true)
    {
        string isabel = "Is A Dea";

        Console.WriteLine(good + bill + ion + isabel + bill + ion);
    }
}

hope this helps!

Straight to palantir

And one of those defenses was "it doesn't matter if you block Threads, the underlying ActivityPub protocol is open and anyone who wants the data can still receive it."

Turns out to be the case. It didn't matter if you blocked Threads.

I think a better reason is the federation only worked one way. Why should we share our content if they're not sharing theirs? Not that we'd want it.

I mean, everything we do on here is totally public, so, I would guess there is nothing to be done?

Maybe Anubis, although idk if it works for Lemmy instances

Switch to a non-open protocol or walled garden, preferably controlled by a large and litigious organization that guards its content jealously. They'll probably still sell access to their data to LLM trainers but not necessarily Facebook.

Reddit, for example, may fit the bill. IIRC they sell their data to OpenAI for training, so there might be exclusivity deals intended to keep Facebook out.

Post and repeatedly endorse generally inoffensive content that for some reason violates Facebook’s ToS, such as the comic book cover of Captain America punching Hitler or the Led Zeppelin album “Houses of the Holy”
