#LLMs are a fucking scourge. Perceiving their training infrastructure as anything but a horrific all-consuming parasite destroying the internet (and wasting real-life resources at a grand scale) is delusional.
#ChatGPT isn't a fun toy or a useful tool, it's a _someone else's_ utility built with complete disregard for human creativity and craft, mixed with malicious intent masquerading as "progress", and should be treated as such.
Foxglove, foxglove everywhere 🤩

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange the only relevant one is that picture of a dude literally patching a literal window, not the screenshot

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @pluralistic@mamot.fr eeesh, "Platform Decay" is like highbrow bobo greenwashing of a normal term, #enshittification that is

@kurio@sunny.garden it's heartbreaking that people who run human-centric infra such as personal and federated servers, which is hard enough as it is, have to make an additional inhuman effort to fight off an army of corporate cloud-scale bullshit-generating lawnmowers

@ide@masto.ai I don't think this is a question of competence: competence could be summed up as an ability to efficiently achieve goals, which involves feedback leading to anticipation of problems (e.g. use domain rate limit -> avoid getting blocked, use cache -> lower compute by using storage). However, there's neither a defined goal nor any feedback here: we can't harm an LLM crawler that causes harm, its developer won't cache an entire internet and has access to near unlimited compute. This is ethics.
@Buster and the holy trinity is obviously a mesophilic symbiotic culture, a holy union of Acetobacter, Candida and Lactobacillus. Like kefir, combutcha or others

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online it sure seems unlawful to try to push the same exact thing through after getting a "no" several times over, innit?
