given opportunity they'll make anarchist palantir then will insist it's all fine because it's open source, sorry "open weight"

I could be charitable enough to imagine a conversation on Discord where one mod posts "heres the log, ngl he looks pretty bigoted, i already pre emptively banned them", next mod posts "lol ran it through deepseek for funsies and got <clipboard.png>", and finally somebody says "lmao gettin smarter erry day, verra nice, big thanks to big brother sponsor OpenAI™", to which there are many Borat stickers and thumbs-up. I can't be charitable enough to ignore their own wiki:

Divisions by zero is a lemmy instance hosted under the dbzer0 domain and is a founding member of the FAF. It is run by Anarchists but is not exclusionary to the ideology. It promotes libertarian socialist ideals, is against copyrights and pro-non-corporate GenAI technology. It is neurodivergence-friendly.

Wrong fucking dog-whistle, dudes. If you want to communicate that you're open to responsible self-hosted machine learning which doesn't simulate humans, then say that. As read, this sounds like they enjoy using llama.cpp at home, and the median friend in my orbit who is doing llama.cpp at home is suffering light chatbot psychoses already. Honestly, it's a little cringe that they haven't declared a Neo-Leninist Anarchist Butlerian Jihad By Zero instead.

after scrolling through a couple days and accounts on the extended db0verse it's extremely hard not to come to the conclusion that it's a haven for people who think Rimu specifically is some kind of combination antichrist/lolcow who is personally here to destroy all of mastodon, lemmy, and the concept of federation itself. some choice extracts from the very fine people over there:

[Rimu] is an active danger to the entire fediverse as a whole. [...] you better expect questions on why you’re helping to further this narcissistic psychopath['s] control and influence. [...from that user's bio:] Rimu is weaponizing the fediverse against you.

very reasonable and normal account to have on your instance

Rimu is breaking the Fediverse. We had a good thing going for a few years.

that's right, he's personally deleting every post on the internet forever

Hi. Admin of Lemy.lol here. [...] When I joined the Lemy.lol team, I was informed that Rimu had pre-emptively defederated from us sometime ago due to our logo. Pepe the frog. [... He's] not merely a [power-tripping bastard], but a dangerous one.

fucking lol it's these chuds again

Did Rimu suffer a TBI or get way into something mind altering?.

that last one is on a thread completely detached from Rimu, by the way. Rimu possesses a kind of hyperagency, capable of superconvincing everyone of everything which is why any and all defederation due to AI slop is actually secretly his fault

so yeah, good riddance

also, poor wittle intern mod unruffled who was there as an admin barely for three years since day one, that's no time to learn how to moderate at all

then after defed immediately came complaining on dedicated community

This right here.

LLM usage is bad, but could be forgiven if the instances shut it down and put a plan in place to prevent a recurrence. A little "sorry" goes a long way.

The lying means that they aren't sorry and can't be trusted.

glad to have you! we’re happy to be comfortably LLM-free (to my knowledge at least, these shitheads get off on when the slop machine temporarily tricks a person into thinking they’re not touching slop) and frankly still a bit shocked an established ActivityPub instance figured they could get away with using the things at all

Hi!

welcome! consadulations on having to move, great you could find this one

the only worthwhile thing they do is piracy and they’re very proud to be the only worthwhile place for it

sorry sorry the chatbot posted a fisher price police tricycle im trying to delete it
