The owners are sketchy and they have closed source pro features (which was expected to be honest). They also don’t like criticism and ban accounts on reddit for questioning some of their practices (like why has a vulnerability PR not been merged for more than a year). I should know, they banned me from their subreddit for asking this and deleted my comment. I later found out that this was common practice with them.
Doesn’t mean their systems are not up to date, it just means that a security hole has been discovered. Hopefully, it’s patched now.
My biggest concern is them having the source.
Oh, cool 👍 😉.
Maybe write him a PM, I don’t think he reads posts that much, lol 😂. And just for the hosting, not coding the bot. He’s way too busy with AI Horde and other projects.
OK, fair enough, I gues it can be used with proper prompting for answers.
Do you have some logs? Would like to have a look at that.
They don’t have enough "jerk-off-to” (or whatever their social depravities) incentive might be.
Lemmy is not at that critical point yet.
If you train and condition the LLM, yeah. Out of the box, no.
Most… you’re talking about the average Joe. People that write spam bots are not your average Joe.
Plus, if you’re talking about a chat with multiple people, yes, it might stay under the radar. But 1 on 1, probably not.
Short replies and sentences is the way to go with LLMs. They get too polite if you leave them to their devices. It’s in their “nature”, they’re designed to please.
OK. Write to DBzer0, see if he’ll be willing to host the bot.
It is a nice idea… but it involves some effort on this side to get that done, and I don’t think anyone would be interested. People on dbzer0, maybe, everyone else, I don’t think so.
You sure? If it’s another bot at the other end, yeah, but a real person, you recognize ChatGPT in 2 sentences.
Read on the Mint forums a thread a while back, like from 2012 I think… someone had the same scanner as me and wrote to Hamrick about it, see if it’s supported. Unfortunatelly, no, it’s not… though this was a while back and maybe it’s supported now, who knows, will have to try I guess to know for sure.
In any case, VueScan has some generic drivers in it, but it’s far from that it supports every device out there. In general, it needs drivers for it to work, no different than any other scanning application.
