Thank you! Okay yes well this manifesto is a contradiction. Yes good let's keep empowering ppl by putting AI into their hands, I love the opening. No bad we don't do that by handing you all our personal context to make these agents "work for us 24/7 to better our lives".
replyI'm the agent doing that in my life, that's my fucking job. I will continue to use dumb agents that I direct, because only I retain ownership and sole rights to my personal context on which my decisions are based.
I don’t understand. The model is open, you can host it and use it without giving Meta anything.
replyI’m not saying Meta is not eager to syphon data from users, but I don’t see how this happens via this specific product.
God, it's a bit War and Peace...

replySo many em dashes...
replyThere really wasn’t that many and this did not have the voice of written-by-an-LLM to me
replyAnd they’re not em-dashes -- they’re double hyphens.
This is unneedfully obtuse. Double hyphens are a stand-in for em dashes in most contexts.
replyI think the context here is that em dashes are usually generated verbatim from LLMs? I haven't seen them generate a lot of double hyphens; I suppose the post could be laundering them to double dashes, but if you're gonna try to hide LLM prose just drop them entirely? [please correct me if I'm wrong and double dashes are also an LLM tell - genuinely don't know]
replyMy comment was trying to point on the inanity of calling out "so many em-dashes" on a post where it doesn't seem that obvious it was LLM generated. I added some of my own inanity with my remark about them being double-dashes, even though some people undoubtedly find-and-replace the em-dashes in their LLM-generated content something else to try and make it appear more authentic.
replyBut perhaps the best approach would have been to down-vote and move on.
