@selfsame this is seriously *so good* that i don't even know what to say

Petition to reclassify myself as three large language models in a trench coat. @selfsame @molly0xfff

@selfsame
Very well said!
LLMs = Large Leeching Models.

@selfsame Dwelling on this a bit, when exactly did the US pass from "Corporations are people" to "Black box statistical models are people, and they have more rights than you?"

@selfsame

Well said.

@selfsame but not to worry, the models will interpret anything for you, so you don't have to waste precious brain power developing your own understanding

@selfsame Only a machine can stomach what humanity has done.

@selfsame Just imagine if we could scan the entire Vatican library, even the volumes that are hidden from access, perhaps texts brought back from the Maya and Aztec cultures.
What revelations would we find?

@selfsame Almost as if class war is being waged whether we engage in it or not. 🤔

@selfsame next thing you know we will have IA AI

@selfsame after all, you might use it for something like learning or art or joy. Can't possibly have that when someone could be making money!

no no no you can't freely scan through the collected works of humanity, that right is reserved for the large language models.

@selfsame freedom intensifies

@selfsame THIS!!! A million times, this. Whatever is created should belong to the people, the general public, not to the ultrarich and their technotoys.

@selfsame@tiny.tilde.website I'm a large language model as in i read something and then pretend i know everything about the topic and tell everyone who will listen a bunch of half truths and lies about it

@selfsame@tiny.tilde.website What does this refer to this time?

@selfsame is your gross revenue over 5 billion dollars? No? Then go to jail.

Ah, Mr Nadella sir, right this way. Champagne while you pillage? Or we have a 1972 vintage...

@selfsame
I wonder if it's time to start making publicly available "datasets" that are secretly just pirate libraries for humans. Release a slew of little 'LLMs' all designed to memorise a book each. Swear hand-on-heart they're stochastic and transformative; wink that the inner workings are a trade secret.

@selfsame Corporate persons have more rights than human persons. We've known for a while but it's becoming more overt by the day.

@selfsame privately owned large language models*

stress testing ttw with this one

@selfsame

I don't follow. What's stopping you from accessing any of the same data they did? You can read and scrape too.

@selfsame But... you can do that. The only thing that prevents you from it is handling this huge amount of data.

@selfsame okay fine, i am forced to admit this was an indisputable banger of a quip

@selfsame we are willing to invest billions of dollars to educate a handful of LLMs but don't want to spend anything to educate humans.
