  • In terms of murder, not every person is caught. But, enough of them are to deter the crime.

    In terms of "no AI" enforcement, it's not even a matter of perfection. It's not possible to enforce except for the dumbest attempts, especially without also using AI to detect it. And if that enforcement comes about, then the evasion starts, and it's hidden even further.

  • Wow, just speedrunning Godwin's Law, aren't we?

    I guess I'm going to go back to work and talk to my five LLM sessions that are working on different tickets.

  • The entire point of GPL is to forcefully extract copyright out of the code in the first place.

  • I hate this attitude that if a rule or standard can’t be enforced perfectly, we shouldn’t strive for it.

    This is the entire basis for the War on (some) Drugs. Guess what? Drugs won.

    Power is nothing without enforceability, and purposely implementing rules or laws that can't be enforceable is a form of malice and discrimination through selective enforcement.

  • You understand that car racing is the most blatantly advertised sport, or really, popular entity that ever exists, right? It's been a running joke for decades how many sponsorships are plastered all over their cars and outfits.

  • Elon Musk’s xAI used child porn to train Grok models, lawsuit says

    Jump

  • Child sex crimes and child safety are topics that tend to short-circuit all reasonable objections,

    Globally, there's powers at work to get all kinds of "age verification" laws on the books, which we all know is just a thin excuse for de-anonymization and identity gathering. These same powers were fucking with Steam and Itch.io's payment methods, because "what about the children", which then ties to similar events with PornHub a few years earlier. Congress passed three different "Internet child safety" laws in the 2000s and 2010s, and all three were struck down by the Supreme Court for being unconstitutional. Decades earlier, DARE abused "child safety" justifications for personal gains.

    This excuse is used all the time, and the emotional weight it carries makes it shocking effective to the proles that buy it at face value.

  • Cloudflare frees up 100TB of RAM by shrinking 1.1.1.1's DNS cache entries — 250 billion cached DNS entries at any given time means one wasted byte costs 250GB

  • Cloudflare's blog posts are always more interesting. They have a really good postmortem process.

  • The problem is that there’s no existing law that would effect this on its own. To my knowledge, no country in the world has a law on the books specifically dealing with AI models trained on CSAM. So the question, under existing laws, would turn on whether the data stored within the model itself would constitute CSAM.

    CSAM laws are already overreaching in dimensions that are rife with abuse. It's rare to have a law where owning a picture of something is highly illegal. It's the only law I know of where somebody can just send you a picture on your phone, and suddenly, you're breaking the law. You could be arrested and thrown in prison for even admitting that somebody else sent you the picture.

    Police use CSAM as an excuse all the time to search without a warrant. Remember the duress passcode case? Police claimed he had CSAM on his phone, when everybody knew they were targeting his activist work.

    And what should we really care about? The CSA. Go after the CSA. Focus on the abuse. The Epstein files are right over there.

  • NVIDIA reportedly buys HuggingFace for 13 billion

    Jump

  • The core llama.cpp maintainers also work at HF and will now work for Nvidia I guess. Llama.cpp is a pretty significant part of the local LLM stack, especially since other tools like Ollama and LMStudio are just GUIs built on top.

    I guess that explains why features like quantized KV caches are lagging behind. Maintainers are purposely dragging their feet.

    the community may need to step up our game and get our eggs out of the big tech basket.

    The community has chosen to not fight at all, which is worse. Anti-AI sentiment is at an all-time high.

    Publicly. Privately, these hypocrites still whisper in ChatGPT's ear when they get lazy enough. Or use some feature in Photoshop or some other software that they didn't even understand was AI-driven.

  • The way things are going at Huggingface now, I imagine we probably will have to start building the infrastructure we need to handle AI models as distributed links sooner rather than later.

    Then "we" better get started. Mega corpos have fully embraced LLMs, to the point that they've distrusted human input too much, which is still a vital component of successful adoption. Eventually, more and more companies will wise up and figure out how to find the right balance.

    Where are we at? Oh, right... we're too busy arguing about how all AI is bad and sticking our fucking heads in the sand until the Big Bad AI Problem goes away.

    We have to fix our attitudes if we have any hope of surviving this mess and not ending up as a Cyberpunk-wannabe dystopia by the time 2077 hits. Use the fucking weapons given to us!
