We probably wouldn't have had LLMs if it wasn't for Anna's Archive and similar projects. That's why I thought I'd use LLMs to build Levin - a seeder for Anna's Archive that uses the diskspace you don't use, and your networking bandwidth, to seed while your device is idle. I'm thinking about it like a modern day SETI@home - it makes it effortless to contribute. Still a WIP, but it should be working well on Linux, Andr…

Are you accepting feature requests?

Great name haha. Is Anna a reference to who I think it is?

Hmm, seeding torrents with the added excitement that you don't know what torrent's you're seeding, and the client is written using LLMs. What could possibly go wrong?
You can check the content of the torrents, just like any torrent. The client isn't a "one shot" LLM produce, I've been spending quite some time on it. What actual concerns do you have?
As for your question, I don't know about the person you're replying to, but for me any software where part of the source was provided by a LLM is a no-go.
They're credible text generators, without any understanding of, well, anything really. Using them to generate source code, and then using it, is sheer insanity.
One might suggest it means I soon won't be able to use any software; fortunately the entire fever dream that is the ongoing "AI" bubble will soon stop, so I'm hoping that won't be the case.

Not parent but: The first thing that pops to mind is inadvertently downloading and hosting CSAM.

So you did use LLMs to write at least part of the software. I imagine you feel no shame, but it would be nice to at least mention it on the github page. It's a security risk.

I've heard Finland sends out letters, same with Japan. Are there actual consequences, or can they just be ignored? Norway I haven't heard of anyone getting anything in the past decade. The ISPs supposedly get letters from lawyers but just toss them, since the intersection of the burden of proof and our privacy laws make it such that nothing can really be done. I think there was some ISP that gave out names and IP add…
AFAIK you can completely ignore the letters, because taking you to court would be very costly and might not end well for them. However, they keep doing it because some people get scared and pay up right away.
You can basically get banned by your ISP and it's not like there are a lot of ISP options.
ISPs in the US that are lax about it have been sued for millions[1] (and even in one case a billion, pending supreme court decision). [2]

As for it being a bubble that will stop completely, that ship has long since sailed and I assume you're inadvertently using LLM generated code somewhere in your software stack already, due to news reports saying certain companies are already using LLMs in their codebase.

I wish I could speed up time just to see how this comment would age. While I personally prefer living in a world without LLMs, I do suspect you're going to end up without any software.
Indeed, we'll see.

That is a hell of a lot of trust that people are putting in to download and upload unknown files. The risks that you download and start spreading malware or worse CSAM. You really don’t want that sitting on your disk. Admittedly the risks is lower if the list is coming from Annas Archive, but this is still putting a lot of trust in an external list. Much better off doing this manually, finding the list of what you wa…
The torrents are coming directly from Anna's Archive torrents list generator, which suggests their torrents based on how rare their content is. There's currently 177TB of data that is only seeded by 4 computers around the world, which I personally find worrisome. People seem to be very concerned, but putting aside the legal risks (which I accept - don't use this if you're in one of the ~10 countries it could get you…
