so here’s the Internet Archive exposing kids to an “open weight” LLM model lazily trained on someone else’s climate research

the kids got exposed to a technology that causes cognitive surrender, and the results from ClimateLLM were extremely bad. llama, which ClimateLLM is barely derived from, was of course trained by doing damage to poor people and the environment. but you knew this.

so anyway this research was funded by DLT: https://www.eci.io/about which stands for Digital Ledger Technology

these motherfuckers took money from a cryptocurrency company, a field notorious for doing a ton of environmental damage, to expose kids to a ClimateLLM that does not in fact solve any climate problems at all
