You’re on Lemmy mate, don’t bs me and tell me you think most people here don’t pirate. People here will downvote you for calling piracy theft but then upvote you for accusing llms of stealing.

And have you never downloaded a picture for a wallpaper, or to repost, send to friends, etc? Because that is equivalent to someone using a local model to do things. We are not talking large scale models, which seems to be what you keep shifting the conversation to. Anyway I’m tired if of this conversation, good bye.

No it doesn’t, you are arguing in ignoring and this is pointless. Have a good one.

1. What are their thoughts on piracy?
2. Have they ever saved an image they saw online to use in a different place (wallpaper, repost the meme, etc.)? What is so different from someone using it to train their own model which they use for themselves?

It doesn’t have to be built on theft. And what are your thoughts on piracy?

“Tons of people”

I was one of those people, on Lemmy, and I’m telling you first hand the vast majority of people did not give a shit, they just wanted a more powerful GPU

You don’t need all that to run local morals, don’t straw man me.

I mean, you certainly don’t need any more energy than you would for video games, for most of the stuff people are looking to use at home.

It is possible to generate it, but even if someone can’t, I don’t see the fuckai people yelling at game Devs for increasing requirements for so little gain, or at GPU Devs for not focusing enough on the draw power of GPUs. In fact, just 1 or 2 years ago I think, NVIDIA released a GPU generation that was only a little more powerful but had a lot more energy efficiency, and they got shat on by the internet because it wasn’t powerful enough - no cared about the lower power draw.

I mean you can also run a generative modal locally using green energy, but try going into fuckai and telling them that.

Lmao in one sentence you perfectly exposed why anarchists hate MLs. Aside from all the historical bs, anarchists are just expected to go along with ML because it’s “better than capitalism”, but you’ll never see any ML giving any ground to anarchists.

Ironically that makes you quite similar to liberals, who always want the left to support them but never give any ground :)

Personally, I can fight more than one thing at a time. But since you don’t think that’s possible, why are you more focused on fighting anarchists in your comment than capitalism? Is this projection? Are you a liberal? 🤔

It’s bad communication. Plenty of people do this, women included.
