Then you should provably know that image gen existed long before MLLMs and was already a menace to artists back then.

And that MLLM is generally a layered combo of lots of preexisting tools, where LLM is used as a medium that allows to attach OCR inputs and give more accurate instructions to image gen AI part.

Openweight/Opensource LLMs do exist though. And isn’t not only tiny models.

With infinite time, sure. Time isn’t infinite.

AI marketing is total BS, but it doesn’t mean AI is not useful in it’s current state. People try to argue as if that was the case, but it simply isn’t. Agentic AI + LLM does speed up usual tasks by a whole fucking lot.

Next day, these people would be wondering why they don’t have access to essential tools they need to be effective (means of production), completely forgotten they were against these tools completely out of principle. This is as shortsighted as it can get.

Article directly complains about AI artwork. You know what LLM even means?

You can have knowledge of the technology firsthand and just need to generate the code? I mean I would need to google different function names and conversion tricks all the time anyway, even if I’m really good at it. If AI slops it for me, it just speeds it up by a lot, and I can notice bad moments.

Again, the better you know what you are doing, the more it could help.

even meta

Lol, ofc meta, they have the biggest bigdata out there, full of private data.

Most of the opensources are recompilations of existing opensource LLMs.

And the page you’ve listed is <10b mostly, bar LLMs with huge financing, and generally either copropate or Chinese behind them.

Besides, the article is about image gen AI, not LLMs.

you can’t be critical about the answer

You actually can, and you should be. And the process is not destructive since you can always undo in tools like cursor, or discard in git.

Besides, you can steer a good coding LLM in a right direction. The better you understand what are you doing - the better.

I can almost guarantee that hundred billion params LLMs are not trained on that, and are trained on the whole web scraped to the furthest extent.

The only sane and ethical solution going forward is to force to opensource all LLMs. Use the datasets generated by humanity - give back to humanity.

Wdym by suspension of copyright? What would that do?

The fuck, they just attacked the protest and they have the audacity to claim they were subjected to verbal abuse or whatever. Nobody should have the right to just push the protest out of the street just because they feel like it.

Some really vicious backdoor that contains dangerous substance in a hidden chamber? Not a far reach when we are talking about corporate backdoors normalized.

When reading cyberpunk lore, quickhacks didn’t make any sense to me. Some programs that break cyberware because of backdoors, but why would people install cyberware with backdoors?

Now I look at the sad state of mobile market and, yeah ok, that makes sense.

Huh, using aurora for a few apps that aren’t foss, didn’t know there are any issues with it. I’m impressed how crisp it is.

Also TrackerControl FOSS app that filters ads on your phone directly. Can enable/disable different stuff per-app. Must have no proxy/dns to work.

I mean, all the opinion polls for starters?

He is stable second place. Nobody is even close. I bet Zelensky himself do see him as a major threat for his reelections.

Paul Manafort was just one of the names we heard. But with his ratings, he can be picky about who he is dealing with. Literally any oligarch in Ukraine would pay him a lot if that means he would do some favours.

Others in Ukraine see him as a potential political figure. He didn’t deny the possibility to become one - which is a hint as bold as you can get.

There is an informal rule in Ukraine to put politics aside during the war. Cause Ukrainian society was very divided by politics, much alike USA. Protests recently were an exception, because people felt like the current government break the “no politics, everything to win the war” rule with their powergrab move towards anticorruption institutions.

Zaluzhnyi is a previous commander, he knows well why this is so important not to bring politics back. He is also undeniable pro-Ukrainian. Even if I wouldn’t like him as a president, I can applaud to his principles.

Also, does it affect installs via adb? Obtainium + Shizuku can be a way forward.

Google says that only apps with verified identities will be installable on certified Android devices, which is virtually every Android-based device—if it has Google services on it, it’s a certified device.

Any chance you can just remove their shit via adb?
