Privacy and security concerns, most of them are like big tech on wheels. See Telsa and others spying on users during intimate moments. Also most have major security vulnerabilities.

Hopefully the author explains how to use SSL/TLS since their site doesn’t :/

Seriously. It isn’t helpful towards the environment if we are using so many resources to mine chips and metals and then push it along the internet to then be trained on said AI bots. Would be more sustainable using paper and planting trees smh

Also the internet uses massive amounts of water and energy

I welcome my human counterparts

Check out the current Luddite movement, this is their main complaint

The data wasn’t stolen, I can at least assure you of that

Thanks!

Are you sure those aren’t trained until 2021, frozen, and then fine tuned on later data?

Yeah GPT 3.5 and some other FOSS models also say 2021

Anyone know why most are a 2021 internet data cut off?

This is such a bummer of comment on so many levels. It’s like the tragedy of the commons became sentiment and chose nihilism

Your argument is that since it’s not convient or an exact substitution, we should continue supporting these companies that annoy us?

Yes, they are two different concepts but both can be true at the same time. For example, corn and lumber prices in the commodity market sky rocketed during the pandemic, those prices eventually hit the consumer

Understandable, we can only do what we are able to

Support your local baker and chocolate shop instead, big corporations aren’t your friend but your local small business owner could be

Well, if you use credit cards that data gets tracked, stored, mined for years to come, not to mention the dozens of internet servers it took for you to buy that bread in the immediate. If you use cash, I’d assume some local authorities use extra AI to track your movements via cloud cameras (plus fiat isn’t fungible since it has serial numbers)

It would be nice to hear the “pro-[insert your local fiat]” energy use when people argue environmentalism against cryptocurrencies

encrypt everything, layers and layers of encryption and then feed them garbage

not sure how to cross post, but this would fit well in surrealmemes@sh.itjust.works

what’s the difference between old.reddit and reddit? and why does reddit support old.reddit?
