as many of you know (and disapprove of), my beef here is not with an on-device LLM. it’s about so many other things! first of all who needs quick theory on the go? second of all having a tool “just for leftist activists” on your phone is not a great idea. third of all, having a “private” and a “not-really-private” version of the same product is a disaster waiting to happen, i could go on.
activist practice is built with other people. just talk to other people with more experience.
@lzg Yes because what I need in the moment when goons are kidnapping my neighbors is some clanker to tell me what Karl Marx would have to say about it.
I love how the example in the image is "Why do protests fail?" and how you can't look at what's in the dataset.
I know it's super judgey of me but if you have activism questions and you can't talk to any other people about them at all, you're going to have a hard time with real-world activism.
@jessamyn @lzg It’s this, really, among all the ways in which this is a terrible idea. The only theory I’m interested in is that which follows practice, not that which proposes to precede (or supplant!) it.
The only version of this tool that might conceivably be useful would *by virtue of that very utility* represent a terrible point of vulnerability. Whatever happened to developing one’s own capacity for action, informed by thought?
