Interestingly the founder of the project seems to explicitly disagree with that article

Based on the community being quite succsessful so far despite being made by volunteers, I don’t think they will.

What would an ai achieve? The only thing I can think of is a documentation summariser, but that can already be made with current applications independent of linux

Well, at least we all have some miniscule power to make it better I guess

Unfortunately not

Are you running a server which has a “community server” badge on it or using disboard?

Admins of my instance are fine with people using their instance Fair enough, it appears they are completely happy for you to use up a small piece of there resources

If you can’t be bothered to spend 5 minutes to put up the magical “do not use my resources” message (origin: Same-site) in your site’s headers, then I think people would believe that using up a portion of your bandwidth is fine and act accordingly.

Wasn’t there some guy who wanted a total of 8 dollars to fix the GDPR issue and they didn’t get funded? Something tells me the operators aren’t too concerned

If the server owner isn’t fine with others hottlinking they can simply deny requests not related to there website(s). On that note, I hope you are donating to your instance, otherwise by your logic you are stealing there resources.

Its not free in the traditional sense, its just someone else pays for you. These projects work by being “free” with their biggest/most charitable users supporting it. Every major software project that runs the web, be it curl or python, works that way. You do not pay to use the service, you are instead paying to help delay the abandonment of the project and bring updates to improve your experience.

If you don’t particually want this project to succeed, then that’s fine, though you should probably pay your instance a dollar to cover the bills incurred by your own use of there resources.

How would bots help? No one wants to interact with a non human

… Can I have your reasoning? Just because they are communists doesn’t mean they are foreign agents, all it means is that they are authoritarians. Besides,idue to lemmy’s federated nature the governments would be better off infiltrating or straight up buying larger social media companies

… What are you saying exactly? If enough people believe a word has a certain definition, then that word is given that definition, that’s how language works. There is nothing stopping the word Frindle for example replacing the use of the word pen.

The harmful bit wasn’t the instructions for counterfeit money, its the part where script kiddies use chatgpt to write malware or someone trys to get instructions to make VX nerve agent. The issue is the fact that the air can spit back anything in its dataset in a way that can lower the barrier to entry to committing crimes ( Hay chatgpt, how do I make a 3d printed [gun] and where do I get the stl).

You’ll notice they didn’t censor the money instructions, but they did censor the possible malware.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to make something that filtered out all posts/comments containing the word “Linux”, what software do you use to interact with Lemmy?

3 to 4 years is not old

Huh, nice. I got the macbook air secondhand so I thought it was older. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try mistralAI next, perhaps on my phone as a test.

I can already locally host a pretty decent ai chatbot on my old M1 Macbook (llama v2 7B) which writes at the same speed I can read, its probably already possible with the top of the line phones.

Meen Jan, the open-source ChatGPT alternative

Yes, the article is pretty good
