    Every time I read a new story about another example of this, I struggle to understand why people are getting outraged. Did you have some expectation of privacy when you published your thing to the world-connected network run by profit-seeking corporations?

      I don’t understand why anyone cares, nothing I posted on Facebook has any value to me at all so if someone can use it to train an AI then good on them.

      Its media creating a new boogie man. LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics. So media is making sure regular folk fear the shit out of it.

      We’ve reached AI is coming for the children articles. AI is stealing your jobs. AI is going to murder your favorite comedians. AI will turn you into a battery. Everyday its some fucking new fear mongering headline

        LLM and AI gives regular people a lot of crazy power and creative ability that can challenge current power dynamics.

        My view is opposite in that LLM and AI will further entrench the skewed power dynamics, as only really the big companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google can fully exploit it, drive and and afford it. Sure I can run some LLMs on my computers at home, but you really need access to a lot of data and computing power to create the models in the first place.

    An LLM trained exclusively on Facebook would be hilarious. It’d be like the Monty Python argument skit.

    So Meta’s AI is an angry, racist, self-centered, conspiracy theory obsessed, anti-based, flat-earth, quasi illiterate, artificial intelligence? I always wondered how and why Skynet decided to wipe out humanity. Now I know.

    I think at this point we can just assume that everything Meta does is the worst possible way that thing could have been done.

    The AI is going to be weirdly emo and phrasing things like “X is not sure he can do it” because my Facebook activity skews heavily for 10ish years ago when it was popular.
