It seems that the leak originated from 4chan [1]. Two people in the same thread had access to the weights and verified that their hashes match [2][3] to make sure that the model isn't watermarked. However, the leaker made a mistake of adding the original download script which had his unique download URL to the torrent [4], so Meta can easily find them if they want to.

Just a warning to readers, I would not recommend clicking 4chan links while at work.

if you don't have the leeway to say "I was looking at the 4chan thread where metas LLM was leaked" you shouldnt even be on hacker news tbh. get back to work!

Immortal as long as someone's paying to run the instance.

You'll have tiered processing, just like today. You can slum it out with limited simulation capabilities, or if you have a job you can afford the premium processor hours.

See the Amazon Prime series "Upload" (two seasons so far).

Rather funny, BTW, compared to most works around a similar premise.

Because it's really the onlY place left to go if you want to be offensive. First forums, then platforms censored offensive people out of their niche places. Even Cloudflare participates. 4chan remains the only privately owned large forum.

Cloudflare has famously dropped websites which it deemed too controversial

> Does that make my work output immediately tainted and the company has to immediately file for bankruptcy? No, much easier just to fire you. You’ve shown a disregard for what is almost certainly company policy, and created legal risks for the company (e.g. if anyone walked in on you while your screen was showing naked people).

That must be up there on the "imaginary legal knowledge" shelf.

Involuntarily exposing your colleagues to pornography would more than suffice to create a hostile environment for the purposes of sexual harassment law.

Good luck convincing your HR / legal otherwise.

You can condition humans to be happy about being enslaved, as well, especially if you raise them from a blank slate. I don't think most people would agree that it is ethical to do so, or to treat such people as slaves.

I can put on a paper bag and call it pants, but that doesn't make it a smart thing to wear to work

That’s precisely why return to office is a stupid idea

exactly, now we can use less plastic and properly reuse our paper bags
