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.

For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community

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

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.

previously we were r/SneerClub and r/TechTakes on Reddit. we’ve also got a local archive of old r/SneerClub posts which I’m currently redesigning to fix the, ah, everything about its web design

  • 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

Yes, clearly I'm the one throwing a tantrum 🙄

Btw, you can just fact check my claim about what Mistral is licenced under. The article talks about copyright and AI detection in general, which to anyone with basic critical thinking skills could then understand would apply to other LLMs like Mistral.

You might want to look up what pearl clutching means as well. You're using it wrong:

Considering I've done the opposite of a shocked reaction. While at it, maybe also look up "projection"

Anyhow, have a good day.
