@internetarchive no thanks.

@internetarchive

You're taking the piss surely?

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@internetarchive This goes directly against the Internet Archive's mission of facilitating preservation of media & knowledge for the future. There is no point in doing so if you also promote the use of a technology which damages people's ability to learn.

Also, a LLM is the wrong "tool" for the job of climate & long term weather analysis. Not even close. When you want something like this you should always ask a professional, in this case a climatologist.

Does anyone know another general media archival project I can share things with that might use that data more responsibly than Internet Archive is very clearly about to? I don't feel comfortable sharing media with an archive that has embraced such a destructive technology.

@internetarchive This reduces my trust in the Internet Archive and makes me stop donating.

@internetarchive did someone take over the board? What's going on here

[ozzelot@mstdn.social]

@pikesley @internetarchive I hope GPT stands for Gustavo, perhaps Troy; some guys in some room somewhere who know a lot about climate but are also prone to telling lies.

@internetarchive instead of doing this shit, can you make it so that we can actually use the wayback machine instead of the 429-too-many-requests machine?

[teun@kolektiva.social]

@internetarchive

How about you don't promote this planet-heating bullshit-excreting garbage and focus on being an Internet Archive instead?

[mxjaygrant@triangletoot.party]

@internetarchive congrats on cooking your brains on the fascism machine

[thesupertechie@lgbtqia.space]

@internetarchive Yep, the Climate GPT that destroys the climate while it pretends to solve the climate crisis but in reality just cooks up gibberish. Makes sense!

this post is getting its shit rocked already but i would like to note how funny it is that besides the pic of the mostly-bored-looking kids, the two images they chose were a meaningless benchmark chart and a sample output in japanese which is to say conspicuously not a language that most of the english-language tweet's readers would be capable of fact-checking

@ozzelot @pikesley @internetarchive their link appears to be what it says in the box; the Internet Archive promoting a green washed LLM 🤮

And don't call them Shirley.

[bencotterill@mastodon.social]

@pikesley @internetarchive An EV, an insurance company and a climate model walk into a bar…

[jennyfluff@chitter.xyz]

@internetarchive how about no?

[mxchara@cyberpunk.lol]

@amoroso @internetarchive no kidding. "oh look what the LLM trash generator spewed up" is a dishonorable category of non-informative tech news that's very disheartening coming from the Internet Archive

[clarioncat@vis.social]

@internetarchive Please. Not you, too. Especially you guys, I respect the hell out of your work. I do! But how can you not see that this kind of "AI" is highly unethical and is kind of at the opposite end of values you of all institutions should stand for? I am truly disappointed, especially as I already have donated to you and dearly want to support your work and mission. But not like this. I will not stand for you uncritically endorsing projects like these.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@zzt @internetarchive FFS when are we going to get NAMES?

Who are the SPECIFIC PEOPLE in IA, EFF, etc. telling the people working for them to do fashy shit?

And why are the fucking cowards going along with it rather than whistleblowing all the shit from their bosses?

[ret@furry.engineer]

@internetarchive what is wrong with everyone today holy fuck

[duke_of_germany@mastodon.gamedev.place]

The best time to delete this post is before I cancel my eight-year-running monthly donation to the Internet Archive, which leaves you about 10 minutes or so.

@internetarchive but why? Out of all the things you could be spending time and energy on you chose this? What a waste.
