Go to a library, create an account on the public computer there with whatever email works. Creating accounts on VPNs with non-mainstream email addresses draws suspicion.

They just repeat whatever opinions/biases exist in their training data. Although, that’s not too different from humans in some respects.

Best to abandon Meta and let it implode by itself.

besselj@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression ratesEnglish13·5 days agoSo if I have two machines running the same local LLM and I pass a prompt between them, I’ve achieved data compression by transmitting the prompt rather than the LLM’s expected response to the prompt? That’s what I’m understanding from the article.
Neat idea, but what if you want to transmit some information that an LLM can’t tokenize and generate accurately?

Crazy that he had to convince his boss that no, it is highly unlikely that somebody shot at your rocket (at least at the time).

Pretty much every site that has asked me to allow notifications is one that I wouldn’t want notifications from.
I’ll tell my AI agent to go into the registry and disable itself.

besselj@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Can local LLMs be as useful and insightful as those widely available?English51·15 days agoWhat you ask for is impossible to prove, let alone test, without a rigorous definition of “insightful” or “accurate”.
I really like heliboard. It works without network permissions, has autocorrect, and can do emojis
Just don’t use a VPN when creating an account, since reddit will likely flag the account as a bot/spammer.
You can and should use a VPN normally after you’ve created the account. Might be smart to wait a week or so after making the account to start using it on your personal devices though, just to seem less suspicious. Also, make sure you have MAC address randomization and no stored cookies if using the account on the same devices that you used with your banned account.
