@50years_music There are actually 2 versions of this -- I've always been a little partial to the single version (partly because I had the 45, growing up, and there's a bit in it which is missing from the LP version) but I'm also glad the LP version exists (because it, too, is good).
"Honeymoon is over" = "we're really hoping that there will be some problems now; here are a few possibilities we've imagined"
@etenil I'm still getting my thoughts settled before making a decision about this -- but I wanted to answer the question in your appeal: if the decision is that you need to move it, then I'll be happy to reinstate the account so you can do that more easily.
@luxliquida I had to read really closely (prompted by your mention that there was one) to catch the mention of the model he's using -- ministral:8b. I'd heard of Mistral (of which I assume the ministral series is a derivative) but don't know much about it.
...but in any case, yeah, I think that makes it an LLM (though I'm going to go see what else I can find out). "...switched ... to use a local model" suggests he's self-hosting it on a home machine, which avoids the issues around "data farm" excesses, at least. There are other issues to consider, though.
Yeah, exactly.
For one thing, we have this bonkers "gun culture" thing going on here. :spiral_eyes:

:tootcat: Does the new information below (see quoted post) affect how folks feel about the recently-banned news bot?
I'm inclined to reinstate it. Maybe we do need a policy that all bots need to include contact info for their owner (and perhaps that owner must have a non-bot TC account as well, as this one does)?
...but I definitely want to hear from y'all. (I see one reply to the OP already; will await more feedback.)
@etenil Thanks for speaking up! That may change our decision on this particular account -- I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

:tootcat: At least for now, and until /unless there's a community consensus to modify this policy, we will be banning all LLM bots on our instance.
I see the ethical issues around LLMs / "AI" as very complicated, and... I'm working on the tools I see as necessary for really digging into this issue and working out a more granular consensus.
For now, though, it seems best to just not allow them.
:tootcat: So, we've had a credible report that a bot account on our instance -- @newstldr -- is posting information of questionable accuracy, presumably created by LLM.
I'm trying to decide on an appropriate response.
(For clarity: this is not our bot, I don't know who runs it, I don't know what model it is using or how that model is hosted.)
Some of my thoughts:
Thoughts?
This is Socks. She is the guardian protector of the local Aubuchon Hardware store. She was featured in this year's Aubuchon cat calendar. It isn't often I get to hang out with celebrities so I was very happy she was willing to put up with my henlo and skritches.
@ablueview I've said lots of stuff critical of those ICE assholes, and haven't heard anything! I feel left out. :blobcatsad:
