You need to fake users to get the network effects to start.

Use a LLM to generate comments maybe finetuned on HN

When real people start showing up they will see comments and assume its not a wasteland. As real people come reduce the bot comments.

My new TV wouldn't work unless I agreed to it recoding and uploading those recordings to it's servers which may be temporary stored while they are transcribing the audio to text for more permanent storage.

My TV is forcing me into a employment agreement where I generated data to train their models or otherwise 'improve service'.

Data is so valuable companies are risking a huge PR backlash. Data collection is the business model and I assume the same ethos will make its away into open source.

I believe 2021 was the tipping point where most text content is now AI generated, so to avoid training your LLM with other LLM output they restrict the date to 2021.

Why would you Install any of this spyware when you can just use the web version and know everything is sandboxed as good as a browser can offer.

This is a very old project glad to see it get the credit it needs.

One interesting thing is if you show someone this for a random sentence and ask them want do they think. They always say how did it copy my writing. Everyone thinks it looks like their own writing. Likely because its the average of all peoples writing. Try it out

Can you confirm that was for inference? I thought that was only for training 55min on 8x v100

Something interesting that will come from these LLM is university is all about writing papers, you get your degree by writing papers.

Now you can argue each year the value of a university degree will drop because more and more people will get LLM to write their papers for them.

The whole higher education model may need to change, its a similar paradigm shift as the invention of the graphs calculator.

Another reason these diagrams should be expressed in some sort of code is LLM currently are not well versed in architecture because its missing from the training set.

When you say browsing history you mean DNS lookups?

I wouldn't think they have access to your actual URLs as this is HTTPS, only the domain name. Or am I missing something.

Hi dang, is my account shadow banned? Or in any way limited

I hardly post because when I do its down voted, sometimes the post is popular but after 24 hours its back to being down voted.

How did you sell them?

I have a bunch of domain names but never figured out a way to sell them.

You got it admitting it was wrong, very interesting.

When I try do that it says

"I can not be wrong because I am a large language model who generates text from a user to make a useful response"

This sort of thing really makes me feel uncomfortable.

What are the odds of this hitting us, during our lifetime with the technology to record it.

Seems far fetched.
