"Too big to fail" = "We cannot give real concequences for bad actions, but we can take a cut after the fact in the form of a weak ass fee."
The notorious piracy database in question is Library Genesis.
Cached article:
Earlier reports suggested they trained it on books from Bibliotik.
What changed?
Probably just both honestly.
In for a penny and for a pound.
The llama-1 paper acknowledged the use of the books dataset, libgen isn't mentioned in any of the papers so this is new info.
You heard it here first, folks! Zucc says piracy is a-ok!
What are you going to pirate from facebook though?
Resources!
Like wood and stone? Sweet
True fact: Zuckerberg has wood for sheep.
Remember that video in his backyard, when he said he gets rockhard for the meats.
Whatever's not nailed down, unless you've got a hammer!
Might want to bring one. There's probably a lot of copper in those walls.
Good. I'm sure despite us all knowing what a piece of shit meta is we will continue to use their products because such a small sacrifice is a bridge too far.
To be honest I don't think anyone's using meta AI. I didn't even know they had an AI.
It's called Llama and it's one of the more prominent open source LLMs. So it's got that going for it at least.
Meta ai is pretry much the basis of all open weight models. I fact i use a meta model as my main model, a dolphin fine tuning but still meta based.
IIRC Meta was one of the first companies to publicly release a language model that you could run on your computer, called llama. Hence the naming of projects like llama.cpp and ollama.
I use it to release stress, I just hurl abuse at it randomly.
Article is paywalled but had no idea either.
I’ve just not used fb or insta for years but I asked my wife who uses both regularly and she hadn’t heard of it either.
Oh they definitely are. AI aside if people want to see change in the way these companies operate, they need to abandon anything they make.
I hope they also pirated from disney and nintendo
It's ok omid the Zuck does it. Like when he stole land from indigenous Hawaiians.
