Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So we just need to trick AI into storing them within the model so we can then prompt it to give it back when needed. Seems to work for books and other things they stole...

TIL Myrient is a thing :/

OpenAI is buying significantly more RAM than they actually need. They only need 30% of what they're buying to actually build their data centers.

This is just a step on the way towards digital feudalism. Sites like this being taken down is the point, as sites like this are only useful for people who own hardware.

Sigh

Only discovered it a few weeks ago. Was thinking about setting up a mirror and my eyes popped out at the size. The cost and legality is already a Big Deal but that is kind of a showstopper. Also when I floated the idea I got wishlists. People suck.

Why do I always hear of theae types of sites AFTER they get taken down???

It’s currently still up until March 31st.

How is life in the future?

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 31 minutes ago

Apparently even humans of the future still don't read more than the deadline.

Never heard of them before, but this seems like a big loss. That's a lot of content.

Nooooo not myrient :(

Why not just move it to torrents?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 15 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Because individuals can't afford 390 tb of storage in 2026 either.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Not 390TB, but I can easily spare a few TBs on my NASs.

I'm sure there are enough others with some TB they can toss at torrents, enough to chunk it out and have plenty of seeders to cover all of it.

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 10 minutes ago

Same, i could spend 5-10 TB for a while holding a chunk.

Actually, wasn't there some distributed storage platform using torrents as a backbone a while back or did I hallucinate that?

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

I mean, I kind of figure they would split it up into chunks. That's how Anna's archive works I think.
