The War Department has unlimited access to LLMs and compute, but these are delivered as unlabeled files that one must download individually.

That's ridiculous.

I think it's proper. When you release something like this, a raw data dump is the only way to cut out a BUNCH of the "this is modified and falsified" noise.

  • Yes. Importantly just because they've processed it conveniently doesn't mean they'd ever intend to share that.

    My first thought when I saw this is how much will it cost me to kick it up to a HF I stance.

    I did a trial run with the Epstein files and it was genuinely fun to catch a few bits before the media caught up.

    Not to mention that if they add any metadata thats just increasing their exposure and they will be held to what the LLMs label it.

Much better to release the raw stuff; those and derived resources will likely be available in a much more accessible way on public mirrors within a few days.

Hard disagree. A government releasing files with some probabilistic (unreliable) labeling would be pretty terrible.

It makes more sense when you realize the whole point is to distract from the continued failure to release the Epstein files.

  • or distact from the Iran war, or distract from Israel, or distract from corruption... distraction from distractions. We keep buying what they're selling, and then complain the milk is still sour.

    • Easy with the use of "we" there buddy. Just look at the polling. There are way more people not buying the bullshit, and the numbers keep getting worse as even the faithful are tiring of it as well. So just tossing "we" around becomes offensive as you've now included me into something I will not be a part of.

    • "We" really don't. The captured media do.

      A lot of people still look to the MSM to define reality for them.

      But there's a huge and myserious disconnect between the MSM's reporting of Trump as a Serious Person, and the reality that he's a compulsive liar and fantasist and is seriously ill with advancing dementia.

      Without honest reporting, "we" don't have a public voice.

And if they did put a lot of effort into it your comment would say "look at all the money that went into compute for setting this up". Can't let them win, right?

yup. I'm not going through this.

  • oh come on! where's that hacker spirit? you can download these and create a site that has them indexed as you'd like using the latest in LLM tech to parse the files and build the site for you. you can then turn around and give us a Show HN
