Wait everyone, calm down, piracy is ok if its a big corporation doing it.

"Too big to fail" = "We cannot give real concequences for bad actions, but we can take a cut after the fact in the form of a weak ass fee."

Earlier reports suggested they trained it on books from Bibliotik.

What changed?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably just both honestly.

In for a penny and for a pound.

The llama-1 paper acknowledged the use of the books dataset, libgen isn't mentioned in any of the papers so this is new info.

You heard it here first, folks! Zucc says piracy is a-ok!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What are you going to pirate from facebook though?

Like wood and stone? Sweet

Whatever's not nailed down, unless you've got a hammer!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Might want to bring one. There's probably a lot of copper in those walls.

True fact: Zuckerberg has wood for sheep.

Remember that video in his backyard, when he said he gets rockhard for the meats.

Good. I'm sure despite us all knowing what a piece of shit meta is we will continue to use their products because such a small sacrifice is a bridge too far.

To be honest I don't think anyone's using meta AI. I didn't even know they had an AI.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

It's called Llama and it's one of the more prominent open source LLMs. So it's got that going for it at least.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Meta ai is pretry much the basis of all open weight models. I fact i use a meta model as my main model, a dolphin fine tuning but still meta based.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

IIRC Meta was one of the first companies to publicly release a language model that you could run on your computer, called llama. Hence the naming of projects like llama.cpp and ollama.

I use it to release stress, I just hurl abuse at it randomly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh they definitely are. AI aside if people want to see change in the way these companies operate, they need to abandon anything they make.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Article is paywalled but had no idea either.

I’ve just not used fb or insta for years but I asked my wife who uses both regularly and she hadn’t heard of it either.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

I hope they also pirated from disney and nintendo

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's ok omid the Zuck does it. Like when he stole land from indigenous Hawaiians.
