captain its 4 pm on a saturday of course no one is on their phone posting

maybe not every LLM needs an infinite long-term memory after all

i mean if you create an intellectual work (i.e. a novel) as part of your work in a corporation - the corporation owns the right to determine how that novel is used (copyright)

ari's point is that this shouldn't be possible and that only an individual human should be able to own the copyright here

i have so many things to say about this and also so many thoughts i'm yet to think through but me saying them right now will spoil the experience for those who haven't read this yet and wow i really hope more people read this

Copyright should not extend to companies. If they want to copyright a thing they should find a guy to hold said copyright. Copyright should also only extend until the death of the holder, whether natural or not. If you hold a copyright anyone should be allowed to hunt you for sport

sometimes i remember that леденец and сосулька mean the opposite things of what their roots suggest (as if someone just swapped the two around) and start laughing uncontrolably

companies shouldn't be using "我々" in their language, that belongs to weird goofy aliens

it would be a different story if i were paying them for the model but i'm not, i'm just downloading a file and running it on my hardware

so the best thing i can do here is making sure i don't do more harm myself and take care to use the model in transformative ways and not as a plagiarism machine

i think that the people training the LLMs should absolutely do better and disclose where the training data comes from, but i also know that me using/not using a particular open-weight model makes absolutely no difference to the companies building them, so my choice here doesn't make a difference
February 14, 2026 at 2:14 AM
the reason i'm using minimax is because there is no open-dataset model of this size and performance class at the moment but if there were - i would definitely be using that, even if it had slightly worse performance than the closed-dataset equivalent
February 14, 2026 at 2:14 AM
personally i'm fine with using a model without its training dataset being public because of my views on the whole intellectual property system and how it is fundamentally broken but you don't have to, it's completely fine to have individual boundaries on acceptable use of a technology imo

Minimax M2.1 UD-Q3_XL at this particular moment

if you care about the training datasets you might want to look into Allen Ai and their Olmo model series, they are completely open including their full training datasets and their training process

also not to mention that the amount and frequency etc of ciphertext itself are very potent side channels and should ideally be avoided as much as possible

YOOOOOOO

TITANS specifically are what i was talking about when i said that its a researcher-only problem

cool concept but no actual models coming out of it
February 13, 2026 at 11:15 PM
somewhat soon hopefully
February 13, 2026 at 11:10 PM
no kira her scheduler is stopped right now because im using the LLM for other stuff

mine is just a 200W anker one, but that battery supports basically anything with an XT60 connector so there's lots of options
