@internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org oh how cool you lazily fed a bunch of climate data someone else came up with to llama, a non-open “open weight” model whose training, again, fucked over a bunch of poor people and did a bunch of environmental damage. and the results from doing this were really fucking bad. and just this in, of course it’s also a fucking cryptocurrency scam: https://www.eci.io/about what in the fuck is wrong with you

@zzt@mas.to @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org Why don't they ask a shipping company, an oil company, and a concrete manufacturer to join them in their quest to fix global warming? Maybe Turkmenistan could contribute. If only there were people, maybe ones attached to the UN, who knew how to stop our atmosphere heating up, perhaps we could have asked them instead?

@zzt@mas.to @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org FFS when are we going to get NAMES? Who are the SPECIFIC PEOPLE in IA, EFF, etc. telling the people working for them to do fashy shit? And why are the fucking cowards going along with it rather than whistleblowing all the shit from their bosses?

@zzt@mas.to @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org You go to the ECI web site, you click "About", and it tells you that you "apply to access". Yay openness!
