  • There are several “good” LLMs trained on open datasets like FineWeb, LAION, DataComp, etc.

    Then use those as training data. You’re too caught up on this exacting definition of open source that you’ll completely ignore the benefits of what this model could provide.

    an LLM could decide to, for example, summarize and compress some context full of trade secrets, then proceed to “search” for it, sending it to wherever it has access to.

    That’s not how LLMs work, and you know it. A model of weights is not a lossless compression algorithm.

    Also, if you’re giving an LLM free reign to all of your session tokens and security passwords, that’s on you.










  • And I’ve concluded that we’re well past that point, and approaching the point at which we need to reconsider what, exactly, the internet really is, and that is to say that it should not be considered a source of any sort of authentic experience.

    It never was an “authentic experience”. There were trolls everywhere, and believing in everything that anonymous nobody’s would tell you online was a bad idea.

    Now? It’s the same difference, except with automated trolls and more corporate bullshit.
