If it’s something that you don’t really care about others seeing, that’s a prime candidate for cloud storage and more power to you.

This topic is about password lockers. I’m pretty sure you don’t want some schlub who happens to work at Cloud Password Lockers Inc. to be able to get at your PayPal account.

The partnership will happen later on when the noise has died down, and it won’t be publicized.

Don’t store your stuff in the cloud unless you don’t mind someone else accessing it.

If you store things in the cloud that you don’t want other people to access, you better be encrypting it yourself and only opening it locally.

This has been a cardinal rule since day 1.

GDPR laws allow you to download the contents of a Discord server that you have never been on? I thought it only required access to your own data.

You can only access it if you install Discord.

It’s not so bad in comments that don’t have a significant amount of ‘th’ in it, but this one was like hitting a speed bump every five feet.

Considering that LLM content that makes it into training content makes the trained LLMs worse… is this adversarial?

The trouble is that it becomes far too easy to fall into the pattern of power being used to garner more power. All power needs to be held in check to avoid that very simple flaw. The moment the people are convinced that power of any sort shouldn’t be held in check is the moment that they are doomed.

It’s not the query that burns through electricity like crazy, it’s training the models.

You can run a query yourself at home with a desktop computer, as long as it has enough RAM and compute cells to support the model you’re using (think a few high-end GPUs).

Training a model requires a huge pile of computer power though, and the AI companies are constantly scraping the internet to stealfind more training material
