    The notorious piracy database in question is Library Genesis.

      Earlier reports suggested they trained it on books from Bibliotik.

      What changed?

        The llama-1 paper acknowledged the use of the books dataset, libgen isn’t mentioned in any of the papers so this is new info.

    Good. I’m sure despite us all knowing what a piece of shit meta is we will continue to use their products because such a small sacrifice is a bridge too far.

      To be honest I don’t think anyone’s using meta AI. I didn’t even know they had an AI.

        It’s called Llama and it’s one of the more prominent open source LLMs. So it’s got that going for it at least.

        Meta ai is pretry much the basis of all open weight models. I fact i use a meta model as my main model, a dolphin fine tuning but still meta based.

        IIRC Meta was one of the first companies to publicly release a language model that you could run on your computer, called llama. Hence the naming of projects like llama.cpp and ollama.

        Article is paywalled but had no idea either.

        I’ve just not used fb or insta for years but I asked my wife who uses both regularly and she hadn’t heard of it either.

        Oh they definitely are. AI aside if people want to see change in the way these companies operate, they need to abandon anything they make.

          I was curious to see if Wendy’s was on the BDS list. It’s not, but I also found this post, which is quite a trip. https://old.reddit.com/r/wendys/comments/1b25k3b/boycott/
