Trump’s plan is to end support for Ukraine.

Thanks for the clarification and I believe I misunderstood your original comment.

To add to your list there is an often underutilized feature of GitHub for discussions too.

You mean pretty much a single GitHub account?

Also your quick question may have already been asked and answered but difficult to find on Discord. Or if it hasn’t been asked yet, now a future person can’t discover the same question easily. So either way you’re just wasting other people’s time.

If the goal of training is to produce output that users “like” or engage with, then yes, upvoted content is higher quality. The definition of quality here will certainly depend on their goals.

My point is a bunch of spammed content intended to poison AI training is unlikely to gather upvotes, and so it could easily be filtered out if they’re also okay with discarding some human generated content that was not upvoted.

No, because the upvote ratio on posts and comments will be used to signal higher quality content.

It would take considerable effort and coordination to generate low quality content and give it an upvote history that isn’t obviously suspicious and do that for enough content that it actually matters to the training.

Even if you could accomplish that, you can’t backdate this activity, so they could simply filter out posts and comments after a recent date and still have an enormous amount of data to train.

It’s the same inner voice speaking thoughts instead of words on a page.

Read this sentence one word at a time. As you read it, do you hear the words spoken inside your head?

Storage is probably the easier aspect to address. Storage is cheap and decentralized storage systems have existed for decades.

The problem is bandwidth and latency. Most residential ISPs do not offer high bandwidth and low latency upstream connections, which means there’s no good way to serve the content you’re storing.

Residential fiber is becoming more common in some areas, but often those residential plans still limit upstream or specifically have terms in their acceptable use policy that forbid such activities. Here’s an example from my fiber provider, which couldn’t be clearer:

You may not use the Services to host any type of server.

It’s a little silly of course, because if you were playing a game and hosting, you’re probably hosting a server! But if I were serving videos to thousands of peers, I’m sure they would notice and take issue.

Good for you that you didn’t take that lower path cut short.

Who’s to say any of those other paths would have been any better or worse than your current path?

Western attention was already diverted, particularly in the US with Republicans actively blocking support for Ukraine. If anything, the opportunity for this attack was bolstered by Republican MAGA efforts to unseat McCarthy, as the US is further hampered by a dysfunctional House which now cannot approve aid to Israel (or Ukraine) until they select a new speaker.

There are two axes on the periodic table…

You’d have to at least rearrange it so the heaviest elements are at the bottom.
