I'm too old to discuss against bad faith arguments.

Especially with people who won't read the information I provide them showing their initial information was wrong.

One is a company that has something to sell, the other an article with citations showing why it's not easy to determine what percentage of a data set is infringing on copyright, or whether exact reproduction via "fishing expedition" prompting is a useful metric to determine if unauthorized copyright was used in training.

The dumbest take though is attacking Mistral of all LLMs, even though it's on an Apache 2.0 license.

    I've read the article you've posted: it does not refute the fucking datapoint provided, it literally DOES NOT EVEN MENTION MISTRAL AT ALL.

    so all I can tell you is to take your pearlclutching tantrum bullshit and please fuck off already

    god these weird little fuckers’ ability to fill a thread with garbage is fucking notable isn’t it? something about loving LLMs makes you act like an LLM. how depressing for them.

    • high willingness to accept painfully inexact responses
    • high tendency to side with authority when given no information
    • low ability to distinguish "how it is" from "how it seems like it should be"

    Meta:

    • default expectation that others are the same way
    • indignant consent-ignoring gesture if they're not

    To think that when sneer club/techtakes migrated to lemmy, I was pretty sure we would not be getting a lot of incidental traffic to the communities. Just about as wrong as you can be.

    previously we were r/SneerClub and r/TechTakes on Reddit. we’ve also got a local archive of old r/SneerClub posts which I’m currently redesigning to fix the, ah, everything about its web design

    You're the one who linked to an exact percentage, not me. Have a good day.

    re-read your chatgpt response and think about whether the percentages in my original link could be too high or too low.
