like the tldr on this for me personally is that I find this tech interesting and useful BUT mainly in the wrong hands/in the hands of few powerful people right now effectively, I think it's impossible to completely ban it and that the best way would be to democratize it and regulate it properly

I don't think there is any realistic way or will for the general population to ban this tech but there is a strong will for more privacy, more freedom and in general owning and controlling this tech and making sure it is only trained on ethical, legally obtained data
but lmk what you think ofc

imo due to how much especially the far right is abusing this tech rn there should be a push to regulate AND to shift to open models like the Chinese ones or the OpenAI OSS ones rather than close subscription ones: if we are going to have this thing it has to be in the hands of the people

I also do think that in some narrow circumstances they can actually be useful if run in a safe way and trained on actual good data (and no running them on god knows what god knows where is not the ideal), like idk having them sifting through tons of data and then verifying manually is useful lol

While I do think LLMs are to communication what the maxim gun was to War, and in that sense I do prefer they would have never ever been invented, I do think it's unrealistic to think we are ever getting rid of them in any actual actionable fashion, simply because they can be SO decentralized

I want to put my thoughts out there in a transparent way, and I am not invested in any company in general so this is just idk a bit of rambling: I do not think that, even if the bubble pops, LLMs will be going anywhere, the cat is out of the bag and a lot of weights are public and easy to run

Masked paramilitaries marching in front of a hanging Trump banner on the DoJ
This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

BONUS POINTS if they do this AND use buzz words like "military grade tech" and "diplomatic immunity" on the portal

like this would be an incredibly easy messaging win for them that is entirely built on freely available, already widespread technology
it would be, and i say this as not a fan of the current admin, a genius move lol
and i know some people in the eu would 100% fall for it too

weird orwellian fucked up shit like the uk wanting to ban vpns for under 18 is also perfect to build this kind of narrative, they literally can just do that and have a win with low effort considering all the resources they have access to
AND they can spy on all the traffic too

ok i am calling it now:
what if freedom dot gov is just going to be an overpriced vpn
just that
it technically would allow the us admin to push the message of them providing the rest of the world with tools to have free access to the internet while kinda doing nothing new

if this is some fake fed psyop then they are not sending their best because every single fucking post this guy replies to he is getting egged on by everyone since everything that comes out of his mouth is wrong and blatantly so, i think he has some kind of humiliation fetish or something

yeah, i thought he was some sort of bot but nope he has been at it for a bit now, he keeps making new accounts

"autisticforacure" here on bsky, he has been randomly accusing me and other people of being homophobic because we support all lgbtqi rights and he is one of those weird "lgb without the t" people trying desperately to make his hateful shit sound real, genuine psyop slop, he can go fuck himself

i genuinely thought he was a troll but no like he has been at this for months and genuinely comes back and tries to argue like he is in the right with the most played out fake conservative bullshit points ever about every single contentious topic saying shit like "oh but i am a leftie" dawg stfu

like idk does he really think that i will just stop supporting a marginalized community because he comes up and starts repeating a bunch of nonsense all of this because he is mad that i said i personally didn't want to use a linux distro since i don't like the politics of the guy making it like wtf

don't care about your fake bullshit conservative fake made up ass talking points + you have been bothering me about this shit for months now i am not changing my position on it you are hateful and i hope you find some love in your heart + get lost + your mom + are you done yet?

mate you are being egged on for the exact reason that you are the one not knowing shit about any of this, are you done bothering me with your nonsense or are you going to pop up with yet another account to repeat your two or three fake conservative psyop points achieving absolutely nothing at all

it's a fake and not even gay psyop to say gay struggle and trans sruggle are two separate things, as a bi person i have never even for a second considered this shit to be worth even thinking about considering it's clearly some stupid fed psyop bullshit not worth any of my time at all
