He’s a tool for manipulation first and foremost, and therefor must be relatable regardless of any grammar rules or even what’s actually written in the Bible.

They would probably use “they” instead in any case, if it were to change. “It” is for objects, pets and clowns.

Cooking up global fediverse rules specifically meant to try and exclude an instance is crossing the line imo. If you don’t like interacting with them, join one of the many instances that have already blocked them.

This kind of crusade goes against the spirit of the fediverse imo.

I think many keep their moderation accounts separate from the account they use to post and comment. Checking their comment history doesn’t mean much.

Film everything for a start. There are apps that automatically upload as you film so they can’t just grab your phone and delete it.

You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.

3d extrusion prints have microscopic holes inside, it’s porous. I wouldn’t trust it depending on the application. You can seal the outside and they also sell additives to lessen the effect (here’s a video about it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8x-mjjT8j4) but casting resin might be better (haven’t tried). Resin printing doesn’t have these problems from what I understand but ou can’t really stop the print midway.

Fiberglass, if the object isnt complicated to make, would be the best option in terms of quality. Bending and cutting pvc sheets into a box then soldering is also an option. Soldering pvc and rolling fiberglass isn’t really difficult but they both require specialized tools/materials. Getting pvc pipes and soldering end caps would probably be the easiest.

How robust you need to make it largely depends on pressure and depth.

All LLMs and Gen AI use data they don’t own. The Pile is all scraped or pirated info, which served as a starting point for most LLMs. Image gen is all scraped from the web. Speech to text and video gen mainly uses YouTube data.

So either you put a price tag on that data, which means only a handful of companies can afford to build these tools (including Meta), or you understand that piracy is the only way for most to aquire this data but since it’s highly transformative, it isn’t breaching copyrights or directly stealing from them as piracy “normally” is.

I’m being pragmatic.

The existence hinges on the rewriting and strengthening of copyright laws by data brokers and other cancerous tech companies. It’s not Meta vs us, but opensource vs Google and Openai.

They are being sued for copyright infringement when it’s clearly highly transformative. The rules are fine as is, Meta isn’t the one trying to change them. I shouldn’t go against my own interests and support frivolous lawsuits that will negatively impact me just because Meta is a boogeyman.

Don’t give me that slop. No one except the biggest names are getting a dime out it once OpenAI buys up all the data and kills off their competition. It’s also highly transformative, which used to be perfectly legal.

Copyright laws have been turned into a joke, only protecting big money and their interests.

Meta has open sourced every single one of their llms. They essentially gave birth to the whole open llm scene.

If they start losing all these lawsuits, the whole scene dies and all those nifty models and their fine-tunes get removed from huggingface, to be repackaged and sold to us with a subscription fee. All the other domestic open source players will close down.

The copyright crew aren’t the good guys here, even if it’s spearheaded by Sarah Silverman and Meta has traditionally played the part of the villain.

Huge pet peeve of mine as well. No one needs my phone number.
