  • This!

    The best strategy is to engage in genuine conversations.

    Most people just label the unknowledgable as stupid and attempt to desperately convince them with a bombardment of facts and counter-arguments. Even worse is just calling them “Nazi” and leave it at that. This is futile with some people who have gone down too deep into the hate-train of social media. They will immediately mentally blockade what you’re saying and the cycle continues.

    It’s way more effective to get into a friendly conversation and actually engage with what they are saying. Listen. Ask questions. Listen. Ask questions. Understand why they believe what they believe. Be open to their arguments, however rediculous you might find them.

    The most important thing you need to realize that it’s not their fault and they are not stupid! They are just the output of their environment. Everyone has emotions. And everyone deals with them differently. Everyone has their environment. And everyone sources their information from that environment. Everyone has parts of their lives where they are misinformed or less educated than an expert in the field. You too! Consequently, the way to change someone’s belief is to change their environment while understanding their emotional basis.









  • I agree with your sentiment. But I think LLMs are different and something novel that we have never had before: LLMs do not directly encode any IP information directly. It’s like our brain remembering a drawing but we don’t actually own that drawing just because we remember what it looks like. So even if they use pirated data to train the LLM, the result is merely a derivative. Since they don’t redistribute the pirated material, they might get fined for “leeching” here but not for “seeding”, if you understand my anology.
