Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Mistral isn't trained on copy righted data. It's based off selective databases that were open use. This article in general is full of false information. But I suppose most people only read the headlines.

if you're not gonna read the fucken thing then fuck off.

I did read the thing, then provided an article explaining why detecting copyrighted material / determining if something is written by AI is very inaccurate.

Perhaps take your own advice to "read the fucken thing" next time instead of making yourself look like an idiot. Though I doubt you've ever heard of "better to stay silent and let them think you the fool than to speak and remove all doubt".

Btw, I even recall that Ars specifically covered the company you linked to in a separate article as well. I'd be glad to provide it once you've come to your senses and want to discuss things like an adult.

you're conflating "detecting ai text" with "detecting an ai trained on copyrighted material"

send the relevant article or shut up

Ignoring the logical inconsistency you just spouted for a moment (can't tell if it's written by AI but knows it used copyrighted material? Do you not hear yourself?), you do realize Mistral is released under the Apache 2.0 license, a highly permissive scheme that has no restrictions on use or reproduction beyond attribution, right?

I think it's clear you're arguing in bad faith however with no intention of changing your misinformed opinion at this point. Perhaps you'd enjoy an echo chamber like the "fuckai" Lemmy instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

wait a minute… there’s another “fuck ai” instance and they’ve already told you to go fuck yourself?

I wonder if they want to be friends

have seen one on lemmy.world. it's kinda the dancing baby version of the stubsack and techtakes tho from what I can tell

aw, it’s only a community? that’s what I get for expecting anything but garbage from Oscar the Grouch I suppose

the reading comprehension of a llm and the contextual capacity of a gnat

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

holy shit you really are quite dumb. the fuck is wrong with you?

actually don’t answer that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Mistral’s Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 produced copyrighted content on 22% of the prompts.

did you know that a lesser-known side effect of the infinite monkeys approach is that they will produce whole sections of copyright content abso-dupo-lutely by accident? wild, I know! totes coinkeedink!

she wrote harry potter with an llm, didn't she?

I'm too old to discuss against bad faith arguments.

Especially with people who won't read the information I provide them showing their initial information was wrong.

One is a company that has something to sell, the other an article with citations showing why it's not easy to determine what percentage of a data set is infringing on copyright, or whether exact reproduction via "fishing expedition" prompting is a useful metric to determine if unauthorized copyright was used in training.

The dumbest take though is attacking Mistral of all LLMs, even though it's on an Apache 2.0 license.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I've read the article you've posted: it does not refute the fucking datapoint provided, it literally DOES NOT EVEN MENTION MISTRAL AT ALL.

so all I can tell you is to take your pearlclutching tantrum bullshit and please fuck off already

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (4 children)

god these weird little fuckers’ ability to fill a thread with garbage is fucking notable isn’t it? something about loving LLMs makes you act like an LLM. how depressing for them.

To think that when sneer club/techtakes migrated to lemmy, I was pretty sure we would not be getting a lot of incidental traffic to the communities. Just about as wrong as you can be.

  • high willingness to accept painfully inexact responses
  • high tendency to side with authority when given no information
  • low ability to distinguish "how it is" from "how it seems like it should be"

Meta:

  • default expectation that others are the same way
  • indignant consent-ignoring gesture if they're not

Unfortunately we're unable to share details about the training and the datasets (extracted from the open Web) due to the highly competitive nature of the field.

The "open web" is full of copyrighted material.
