Sorry, life got in the way. I’m not surprised you’re not familiar with such matters.

I am surprised how much you support spreading hate speech by removing the ability of moderation.

You didn’t answer my question.

Who would pay for the platform, and who would moderate it? Or do you just want even more hate speech to spread?

A public forum, I assume paid for and maintained by the taxes of the public?

Ah, so you’re pro moderation when you personally find the contect to be even indirectly harmful.

“Double standards are bad, no matter which side.”

Why should anyone get to own the only effective avenues of communication? Communication is what determines how the world works.

Who currently owns the “only effective avenues of communication”?

CP is illegal obviously, and jihad doesn’t make sense in the cute cats category the way ‘straight only game mod’ makes sense in the ‘game mod’ category.

“Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective.” Seems there’s a limit to the ugly you’re willing to put up with, and you’re quite willing to silence perspectives yourself.

You cleaely still want people to moderate social networks. I assume you’d want these people to outside the company?

Major media outlets and companies should not be considered private platforms.

Really? Now I’m curious, how do you imagine that?

I assume the company still pays for the platform, hosting, development, etc. Since it’s public, are they now subsidised by taxes?

Who moderates the platforms then? Are is it all just unmoderated?

Will companies get compansated for lost revenue?

I genuinely curious how you imagine this working.

Anyone can sign up and post while they use their money and influence to decide who gets heard.

Yeah, because it’s theirs. They own it.

If I let everyone into my house for a party, doesn’t mean I lose the right to kick people out.

Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective. I don’t want an echo chamber.

I’m okay with an echo chamber if it means I don’t have to put up with CP and jihadi execution footage in my cute cat feed.

I assume it would be no problem for you.

No, but you can’t forcibly take and use someone else’s megaphone.

So private platform and private parties shouldn’t have the right to moderate and regulate their own spaces?

Oh sorry, I was under the impression that you had at least a basic knowledge about software and software development.

I now see that that’s not the case.

Open source is an area where software patents don’t generally protect the product, and yet it’s the most innovative space out there. And in cases where patents are brought in (see the rust trademark incident) they are rejected by the community. And yet open source is still around, and powering most of the internet and present in most devices.

If what you said about patents were the case, that would not be so.

I don’t know how to convey to you how important it is to incentivize innovation without worrying someone else will simply steal your ideas to make millions from your hard work you did inventing something while they literally did nothing.

If I make something and someone else can simply take it and dominate the market with it and pay me nothing for the work i did, why the fuck should I even bother making anything?

TIL that open source doesn’t exist.

When working on an OS project you are doing it out of altruism and/or fun, fully realising that you will never be compensated for this work.

That would imply there are no devs or even entire companies working on open source software and getting paid.

Just because you work on open source, doesn’t mean you don’t get paid.

Yeah, imagine if there was an area of software development where people could freely view, copy and modify each others works.

So some drivers are not installed like I said

No, you said:

First of all they’re going to have to release a distro which actually has, shock horror, proprietary drivers installed on it, because your average user isn’t going to understand how to install them.

You’re moving the goalposts.

Wow, you wrote a game engine in machibe language?

Can we see it?

And what happens when that runs out?

Not really, because there’s still some processes in the human brain we don’t understand.

For example, you can list the steps and processes for every step an AI makes. You have to, in order to code and run it.

But you can’t list every step or process taking place in cases of sudden savant syndrome, for example.

This is exactly correct, except you’re also not accounting for the insane amount of computational power that would be necessary to backtrack a single output of a single model. This is why it is a black box. It simply is not possible on a meaningful level.

It’s not practical, but it can be done. We simple don’t have the time or inclination to do it.

It’s like like saying we don’t understand how an internal combustion engine works. Every explosion is a bit different, it pushes the pistons a bit less or more, it leaves a bit more or less residue in different places. We can’t backtrack and check every cycle and every part on a meaningful level, but we understand of it works, and we could do it if we wanted to. It’s just not practical.

As an example from my field: if you damage the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in a fully grown adult, they will have the impulse control of a three-year old. We know this because we have observed damage to this area in multiple individuals, and can measure the effects based on the severity of that damage.

Okay so explain how sudden savant syndrome works. Step by step, biochemical process by biochemical process.

In contrast, if you provide the same billion-parameter neural network identical inputs, you will not receive identical outputs.

If you take the same model, put it in a VM, give it an input, get an output and the restore the VM to the exact same state before and ensure there’s no randomness, the model will give you same output.

Again, we have the input, we have the math and code that make it work, we have the weights, we have everything.

Would it take a lot of time to backtrack and check why we got a given output to an input? Yes, maybe an inordinate amount of time. But it can be done. It’s only black box because nobody has the time (likely years to decades) to wade through the layers of a finished model to check every node and weight.

The whole thing at its core is mathematics. It’s a series of steps, that can be listed and reviewed each step of the way if we wanted. It’s just that if would take too much time.

If what you said were true, we couldn’t reproduce models. And since we can…

It isn’t an exact science, however.

So if math and computer science isn’t an exact science, what is?

We know the input, we can set the model to save the weight in checkpoints during training and can view them any time, and we can see weights of the finished model, and we can see the code.

If what you said about LLMs being completely black box were true, we wouldn’t be able to reproduce models, and each model would be unique.

But we can control every step of the training process, and we can reproduce not just the finished model, but the model at every single step during training.

We created the math, we created the training sets, we created the code and we can see and modify the weights and any other property of the model.

What exactly do we not understand?

Well, given how we’re the ones that developed the models, they are deterministic as we know and can save and reproduce the random weights they are given during training, and we can use a debugger to step through every single step the models makes in learning and “thinking”, yes, we understand them.

We can not however, do that for the human brain.

Well, there still a shit ton we don’t understand about human.

We do, however, understand everything about machine learning.

So he would get a huge bonus from the short term gains, and then dip before the company suffered the long term damages.

He sold then announced something he thought would improve the value of his big stake in the company.

In what universe?

So like how the iPad has no calculator feature?

The kind that’s actually correct?

Lots of people don’t want woke garbage in their games.

They’re welcome to make their own games, and host their own mods.

When it tops the download list the number of people who reject gender ideology is revealed.

Did it actually top the download list?

No?

That’s what I thought.

it breaks the illusion of social acceptance the left fights so ferociously to maintain by force and fiat.

Imagine telling on yourself like that 🤣

True, but the act does show everybody that they are political activists.

Good.

Yeah, let’s not attempt to paint any watch as a survivalist and hiking tool that needs regular charging, otherwise it stops.
