Moved over from Reddit after the API debacle. Most interested in news communities, while being in favor of popular self-determination and against the use and propagation of generative AI.

  • One of the freedoms of free software is that people can study it and use it however they want, for whatever purpose they want.

    Given that Anthropic and OpenAI derive their profits from their models being closed source rather than open source, I don’t think they should be assisted in devouring freely-accessible data in their endeavor.

    Not all developers may see it this way, but those contributing code to LLMs are training them for free at the expense of career opportunities for fellow developers, all the while Anthropic, OpenAI, and other AI companies rake in money for maintaining access to content that isn’t theirs.





  • Still just Natsume’s fake Harvest Moon.

    Edit: What originally was ‘Harvest Moon’ has been ‘Story of Seasons’ since 2014. Natsume—the original publisher in North America and Europe—retained the localized ‘Harvest Moon’ brand name and has since released its own games in the style of the originals with the intent of profiting off the brand recognition for the original games.

    Not 40, but also don’t want my thoughts and comments to be an income stream for a for-profit organization, whether that be by selling my data for profit, training an LLM with my data, or contributing to an inescapable network effect that can be increasingly monetized by various means.

    The modern social media platform is not designed to foster positive interactions, but rather to maximize shareholder value.
