In one week, Lemm.ee will shutdown in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Any of these having similar moderation and federation policy as lemm.ee?

Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down in c/[email protected]

I'd say it doesn't count unless it also moves all followers, which this doesn't.

It provides an easy way to transfer your subscriptions to a new account, but that's not exactly the same. For example, your posting history will be lost.

The issue is that currently we don't have the technical features needed for such an attitude: namely, transfering the communities. Decentralised IDs would also help.

I've moved to https://piefed.social/ - I really like the ability there to subscibe to whole topics rather than individual communities. But I'll miss lemm.ee's defederation policy.

Is lemm.ee actually shutting down? in c/[email protected]

I guess it's time to migrate to piefed. I really love some of the things they're doing - but I'll miss lemm.ee, I feel most other instances either defederate way too much, or way too little (as in, not at all)...

Please consider supporting Lemmy development in c/[email protected]

This is bs, because you - and perhaps almost everyone else here - are supporting monetarily much worse people than the Lemmy developers.

BTW, this absolutely represses men, women, children, etc, as "genetic material" is contained in every cell of everyone's body. In nails, hair follicles, urine, saliva...

EU whacks Apple and Meta with $800 million in antitrust fines. Meta calls its penalty a ‘tariff’ in c/[email protected]

That's a retaliatory tariff. Meta broke the law, and the EU retaliated.

AI: a fork in the road for open source in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The fact is, currently, AI can't write good code. I'm sure that at some point in the future they will - but we're not there yet, and probably have some years still.

Imagine at some point in the future, where an AI can program any piece of software you want for you, and do it well. At that point, the value of code itself will be minimal. If you keep your code proprietary, I'll just get the AI to re-implement the functionality anew and publish it.

Therefore, all code will be permissive open source. There would be no point in keeping anything proprietary, and also no point in applying copyleft. But at this point the copyleft "hack" would simply be unnecessary, so permissive open source would be just as good.

Until then, me not using AI doesn't in any way prevent others from training AI on my code. So I just don't see training on my code as a valid reason to avoid it. I don't use AI currently - but that's for entirely pragmatic reasons: I'm not yet happy with the code it generates.

How does L4sBot choose which articles to post? (lemm.ee)
 

This is a meta-question about the community - but seeing how many posts here are made by L4sBot, I think it's important to know how it chooses the articles to post.

I've tried to find information about it, but I couldn't find much.

Licenses for LLM models (lemm.ee)
 

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of a license is that it gives me permission to use/distribute something that's otherwise legally protected. For instance, software code is protected by copyright, and FOSS licenses give me the right to distribute it under some conditions.

However, LLMs are produced by a computer, and aren't covered by copyright. So I was hoping someone who has better understanding of law to answer some questions for me:

  1. Is there some legal framework that protects AI models, so that I'd need a license to distribute them? How about using them, since many licenses do restrict use as well.

  2. If the answer to the above is no: By mentioning, following and normalizing LLM licenses, are we essentially helping establish the principle that we do need permission from companies to use their models, and that they have the right to restrict us?
