From what little I know:

1) Are you in an anti-SLAPP state or can you become somehow located in one for legal purposes?

2) Can you create any connection with your project and a large institution that pays for legal costs as a general, ongoing expense rather than having to make a decision about whether to cover yours specifically?

Those are what saved me from probable legal-fee destruction when the Koch brothers targeted a project I worked on.

PS: Reading back over the thread I see that in the first post I didn't mention that LLMs also have bad effects for teachers and for people in any industry who don't want to get fired in favor of a solution that doesn't work as a form of labor discipline. I will also not write about those still they have also been written about better by other people.

Biden's response is not confusion or a lack of recognition of what's going on, it's "fuck you":

"A Biden campaign official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told NPR that while they will continue to work for every vote in November, they are heartened that the "uncommitted" share of the vote wasn't much higher than the 11% of uncommitted votes in 2012"

LLMs are pollution of the universe of texts.

I think that is a useful way to think about them. Like greenhouse gasses or plastics, wealthy interests want to release them and then let someone else deal with them: they themselves will never pay for the damage that they cause.

Many people have written about how LLMs used by sites that want to increase their search engine rankings have made reliable information impossible to find, and how human-produced wiki is one of the last reliable sources left.

It's tempting to just throw up one's hands and joke about how an archived copy of wikipedia from before LLMs existed is the last reliable repository of human knowledge. Unfortunately, librarians don't really get to do that.

Storage of digitally native texts is not the largest problem at the moment -- disk drives are cheap. Categorization and search is. When someone wants a text they don't want a near copy of a text, even if the text is someone's social medium post.

What are some other things that librarians do? They answer questions. An LLM is like a reference librarian if the librarian is blackout drunk and will not remember anything or really give coherent answers but still somehow sounds sober.

Librarians want to categorize and store texts so that they can be retrieved by people who are interested in them. The problem of people trying to drown out truth with propaganda, or art with bad copies, is an old one and librarians have various methods to deal with it.

When LLMs drown out human produced texts through a multitude of variants and partial copies, one can look for signs that it is an LLM produced text. But this takes time and LLMs will presumably get better at concealment.

There are certain basic presuppositions about texts: that they are written by humans who have some kind of basic concern with truth or aesthetics or both. A liar who writes falsehoods is still concerned with truth: someone who writes with a bad aesthetic is still concerned with aesthetics. A human being writing Oulipo poetry according to an automatic procedure is obviously concerned with aesthetics.

LLM produced texts are fundamentally not concerned with any of these things.

There has been a lot written about how so-called "#AI" #LLM s have had bad effects for artists, writers, programmers, and people who do not want governmental agencies or corporations to make racist decisions. I will take all of that as having been written better by other people and write about how AI is bad for #librarians.

Big introvert advantage for this one. I routinely go to places where no one else is masked and I'm not embarrassed because I'm basically not looking for social cues on what to do.

Hello fediverse. I post:

* about global warming data
* anarchist boosts
* poetry
* literary criticism I guess?
* animal picture boosts
* reply person jokes

In short no one who is carefully curating their feed should follow me
