this platform is a mass murderer fanclub

lmao. Elaborate.

Helix is best editor 😏

You can also fork proprietary code that is source available (depending on the specific terms of that particular proprietary license), but that doesn’t make it open source.

Fair point about llama not having open weights though. So it’s not as proprietary as llama. It still shouldn’t be called open source if the training data that it needs to function is proprietary.

My use of the word “stealing” is not a condemnation, so substitute it with “borrowing” or “using” if you want. It was already stolen by other tech oligarchs.

You can call the algo open source if the code is available under an OSS license. But the larger project still uses proprietary training data, and therefor the whole model, which requires proprietary training data to function is not open source.

I mean, god bless 'em for stealing already-stolen data from scumfuck tech oligarchs and causing a muti-billion dollar devaluation in the AI bubble. If people could just stop laundering the term “open source”, that’d be great.

Call it “open weight” if you want, but it’s not “fully open”. The training data is still proprietary, and the model can’t be accurately reproduced. It’s proprietary in the same way that llama is proprietary.

You don’t need port-forwading for torrenting. It’s more like a nice-to-have. Mullvad works fine without it, so don’t let that stop you if you’re on the fence.

You won’t see me on the side of the “debate” that launders language in defense of the owning class ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes. That solution would be to not lie about it by calling something that isn’t open source “open source”.

There are at least three other MFA methods that are not email based, and so no, you don’t have to remember your email password.

Get an authenticator app. Get an authenticator key. Or hell, go use Duo for free (not recommended). And if none of those do it for you, use your 2FA recovery code. That’s what it exists for.

And if all else fails, you can still shoot yourself in the foot and opt out of the change, but you’re just begging to have your passwords stolen ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That’s fine if you think the algorithm is the most important thing. I think the training data is equally important, and I’m so frustrated by the bastardization of the meaning of “open source” as it’s applied to LLMs.

It’s like if a normal software product provides a thin wrapper over a proprietary library that you must link against calling their project open source. The wrapper is open, but the actual substance of what provides the functionality isn’t.

It’d be fine if we could just use more honest language like “open weight”, but “open source” means something different.

Absolutely, but this is one of the worst reasons to advocate self-hosting a service. The kinds of people that are upset about higher security standards should not be self-hosting anything.

They should be using 2FA then. There are at least 3 other multifactor authentication options available. Configure one of them, or you can be affected by the device verification change. Or, you can disable the feature, but without any secondary auth factor, you’re just begging to have your passwords stolen.

This looks really promising. I’ll be especially excited if they can make the derive pattern easy to bolt-on to existing projects.

The training data is the important piece, and if that’s not open, then it’s not open source.

I don’t want the data to avoid using the official one. I want the data so that so that I can reproduce the model. Without the training data, you can’t reproduce the model, and if you can’t do that, it’s not open source.

The idea that a normal person can scrape the same amount and quality of data that any company or government can, and tune the weights enough to recreate the model is absurd.

I’m not seeing the training data here… so it looks like the answer is yes, it’s not actually open source.

Mental Outlaw is a reich-wing freak, so that’s par for the course. Unfortunately, there are a fair amount of these shitheads in the Linux YouTube space.

Is it actually open source, or are we using the fake definition of “open source AI” that the OSI has massaged into being so corpo-friendly that the training data itself can be kept a secret?

It would be nice if AOSP (or the GOS devs) could expose KVM to userspace as a stop-gap for the dystopian nonsense that is Play “”“Integrity”“” API.

This would allow you to virtualize another device that could hopefully pass the dystopian checks so you can use the apps that are opting in to this nonsense. That, or just have a Linux distro, which has no dystopian bullshit to begin with.

journalctl and binary logging are annoying bullshit.
