And this is why Twitter should be nuked from orbit…

This is my second time bookmarking this meme.
…I can’t find the first.
I’m talking theoretically, heh, I don’t think anyone actually does that yet.
And I am just talking edge cases where existing blockers fail and there’s no manpower to figure out a customization.
Right? It makes Afganistan (the Soviet and US one) look like nothing. A calamity doesnt even begin to describe it.
This ^.
I think people forget the fabled "old" internet was actually a pile of trolls where one had to double check what they read.
Basic sanity checks really aren't that hard. But its a forgotten habit, I guess.
back-to-basics apps and services.
I think these do exist, but they're in such a sea of shit that most users scrolling on their phones can't find them. Shameless apps have an intractable engagement/marketing advantage over them, as do the 'lets get acquired by Big Tech' ones.
I guess big companies could engage in this, but... shrug.
Hassle-free self hosting is hard, yeah, AI or not. Not going to argue with that one bit.
There are a few that are "truly" open like IBM Granite, and a handful of others over the 7B range.
Blocklists are a much more efficient way to do this, and TBH many "traditional" adblockers are still huge performance hogs. Ublock is an exception in this regard due to webassembly and its explicit dedication to lightness.
Vision models are a pretty good way to build sponsorblock/adblock databases though, and maybe even engineer HTML workarounds automatically. It would be cool if you, say, encounter an ad or a dysfunctional web page, and you can opt-in to automatically contribute a fix with your own compute.
some bits related to its training data
AKA ANY details about its training data, and its training hyperparameters, and literally any other details about its training. An 'open' secret among LLM tinkerers is that the Chinese companies seem to have particularly strong English/Chinese training data (not so much other languages though), and I'll give you one guess on how.
Deepseek is unusal in that they are open sourcing the general techniques they used and even some (not all) of the software frameworks they use.
Don't get me wrong, I think any level of openness should be encouraged (unlike OpenAI being as closed as physically possible), but they are still very closed. Unlike, say, IBM Granite models which should be reproducible.
I think Lemmy's userbase is a bit predisposed to that. Unfortunately, that sentiment isn't common enough, and while most people don't want to be monetized if asked, with the convenience the reaction is a collective shrug.
But another thing we are predisposed to is dev bugs, and I think the average person won't like how unreliable many such features are.
Ugh, you said that way too well.
Still (again, rolling with the reasoning), it's an existential problem, no matter who's fault it is or how much of a victim they are or how much fatalism they've accepted...
This is one of the "smartest" models you can fit on a 24GB GPU now, with no offloading and very little quantization loss. It feels big and insightful, like a better (albeit dry) Llama 3.3 70B with thinking, and with more STEM world knowledge than QwQ 32B, but comfortably fits thanks the new exl3 quantization!
You need to use a backend that support exl3, like (at the moment) text-gen-web-ui or (soon) TabbyAPI.

Nice catch.
That's a straight up racecar, though. Like it's built exclusively for entertainment and fun, not epeen.
I'd respect someone driving a Ginetta G58 around (or, more practically, an Ariel Atom, a homogilation special or something) way more than a chonky, overpriced lambo. That screams "I don't care what you think, I like to drive" instead of "hey everyone, look how rich I am!"
Like this people driving around these monsters. That's beyond flaunting wealth, that's someone's neurotic hobby, and most bystanders aren't going to realize how special they are compared to the Porsche trailing them:
