I mean that’s alot of effort to go through when they could just as easily plant CSM on someone if they wanted to. I understand the paranoia people have, but there are easier ways to fuck someone’s life up.

Remember when ankles were sexy

To answer your question seriously, no. Having pictures or videos of a 15 year olds breast is not by default porn, it’s only porn once it’s in a sexual context.

I think your issue moreso lies on copyright laws than the LLM datasets origination then. Which I completely understand, I hate copyright laws.

There’s TV shows that I can’t stream and the only legal way to watch them is to buy the box set for £90. Get fucked I’m not paying that, I’ll just download it for free.

It’s not “At best it’s a computer program”. It is a computer program, a program of probability that it’s response should be X. The training data could be stolen, but it’s output isn’t.

Dihydrogen monoxide

A few of the dimwits I work with use china alot as a reason to not do anything about climate change because they keep building coal plants but… The coal plants they build are more efficient.

According to this chart the UK is doing well but we can still do better and we should keep doing more.

UK has a higher population than Canada but had a lower rating on this scale. So that’s not strictly true.

It’s harsh to criticise people for not working for free…

Right but a small company or even a group of people aren’t going to put resources into something that a few % of people use. Look at Linux, despite it being the most used operating system in the world, retail sticks to windows and Mac, so it just doesn’t get the same level of support.

I completely agree in the sense people should educate themselves and use products that benefit them and don’t abuse them, but people don’t. And because people don’t, companies won’t.

You said it better than I could

Most people don’t use federated services. I know it’s ironic that an open source project isn’t using open source channels, but sometimes it’s best to stick to services that are easy access and popular.

I’m sure if enough people got in contact about using open source communication they would likely attempt it.

Well kinda but not really, he owns around 4% of Reddit which is where the $193m comes from because of the $5b valuation.

Still, fuck spez

That’s fine for someone willing to read documentation, the average user would rather read a forum post, which Ubuntu has a shit load of posts about using and fixing it.

To add to that, there’s so much “support” out there for Debian and by proxy Ubuntu. You can Google any error and you’ll find the fix. That’s what draws new people to them. Even my self even though I’m not new to the Linux ecosystem. Ubuntu makes a perfectly good and stable server operating system.

Caddy makes it so you don’t have to understand reverse proxies to use them, the config is literally just "reverse_proxy " and then gives it a let’s encrypt SSL certificate. It’s beautiful for self hosting.

Additionally, using jottacloud with 2 VPS’s (one of them being built on epyc like from OVH cloud) can get you a really good download server and streaming server for about £30 a month, which is the same as having netflix and Disney plus, except now you can have anything you want.

I have a contabo 4core 8gb ram VPS that handles downloading content.

A OVH 4core 8gb VPS that handles emby (I keep trying to go back to jellyfin but it’s just slightly slower than emby at transcoding and I need to squeeze as much performance out of my VPS as possible so… Maybe one day jelly)

And I have a really good streaming experience with subtitles that don’t put big black boxes on the screen making 1/8th of the screen non viewable.

The Personal identification number number

Probably by not spending money on making sure it’s citizens are fed and healthy but what a silly way for thinking for me, the answer is obvious you’re right, they created a crypto currency and get the NYC mafia to pay for their nuclear program

Seriously though why not? People pay for criminal transactions in USD, GBP, EUR. Do you not use these currencies?
