F-Droid policy on libre "AI"

FYI This primer on the potential risks of mainstream LLM useincludes a good summary of how generative models are produced;

“Large language models do not reason. Their “training” concerns the statistical analysis of massive amounts of text to determine likely correct textual responses based on a given input. This is a simplification, but the basic gist is there: text is ingested, “tokenized” to identify important terms and positions, and based on many rounds of training, the model is eventually “fitted,” meaning it reliably produces output that makes sense given the input.”

The production of other kinds of Trained MOLE is similar. It is not compiled from source code, like traditional software.

Why do I need to repeat in each and every thread? Be polite, be sensitive and respectful to each other. There is a limit to my tolerating abuse in any manner to others. If there is any more from anyone, I will simply ban them. I cannot keep preaching the same thing to adults.

ban me in particular, ad hominem me all you want, but if you are gonna pretend that you have an argument while at it, imma gotta demolish that nonsense with zeal, no remorse, not gonna stop

Great zeal, but not if you are not remorseful. Sad.
