I don’t have an immediate need for this, but I could see it in the future when I upgrade some local hardware. That being said +1 for Podman support.

Novel.ai comes to mind. It’s made for writing. It won’t write for you, but it’s better in some ways than the more general purpose AIs you named. I mean, it still needs editing and human input.

The interface is made for that, too. You can just edit the story like you can’t in typical chatbot interfaces. Pacing and omniscience are still a problem, but it does follow specific instructions better. You have lorebooks for specific details. And a very workable amount of tokens

This is a structured obfuscated response.

I’ve edited my response multiple times trying to figure out how best to help you navigate this episode. Mental health isn’t my speciality, I’m just an old developer.

It is an attack vector intended to discourage anyone from discovery.

I’m not addressing anyone but you. I’ve done the work, but I would encourage anyone with the capacity to understand what they are looking at to investigate for themselves.

This person did absolutely nothing to test or learn.

I’ve spent 30 years coding, and I’ve spent 7 years working with AI as a hobby. I started out writing scripts for AI Dungeon, and I helped maintain one of the most popular packages on there. I wrote a library that uses the vocabulary file / encoding to examine multiple ways of reformatting text to be able to fit the maximum amount of information in a limited number of tokens. I could link to repositories that are several years old demonstrating this.

This is a malicious behavior.

I don’t have to have the conversation. No one else is going this deep in the thread. This is just me and you, and I’m concerned for you.

This person should be tracked by admin for location and patterns.

I’d be happy to verify anything you like to an admin, despite the fact that I am a privacy-conscious person. I suspect, however, if you were presented with someone vouching for me that you would turn your suspicion on them, not your trust.

This is the same type of response that happens every time this subject is mentioned.

The thing is I’m just a layman. There are a lot of people who know way more than me, and the number of people who know as much as I do is even more than that. You are running into an issue where there are a lot of folks who know this code better than you do.

It is not real, genuine, or in anyone’s best interests.

I assure you, I’m nothing if not genuine. I invite you to look at my post history. I’m pretty damn honest about who I am.

Inside the vocab, when it is read in order, you will find suspicious elements

You can find suspicious elements in the bible, in the torah, in the Magna Carta, in Pi, and everywhere else you look that contains a lot of noisy elements.

This is part of the coup.

What coup? Like… government coup? I assure you, I’m far removed from government and happily so.

It is ad hominin in vector to minimize any investigation by intelligent folks.

Look, no one needs to hear me say I’m concerned about you to be concerned for themselves. Your posts are barely coherent and they build into paranoid fantasy. That being said, I again encourage anyone who has domain knowledge to look for themselves. I have more knowledge than many folks when it comes to AI, but I’m far from an expert. What I do have 30 years of experience with is writing, reading, and analyzing code.

Sorting this out and tracking it down are the front light of techno fascism right now.

This sentence is barely coherent. I will say I’m vehemently opposed to fascists, regardless of being involved in technology or not. In fact, I would be deeply insulted, but I think you are not in full command of your faculties.

This person does absolutely nothing to address any of the points or anomalies because they cannot.

To the extent that you have coherent points, I have addressed them. vocab has a specific, simple, well understood use. I wouldn’t have been able to write code integrating it if not. Timm is known. Python and its components are well understood. I don’t need to plumb the depths because there are tens of thousands of folks who are more acquainted with them than me.

Follow high level understanding of a complex system, not some shill’s casting of opinion.

I’m no asking anyone to follow. I encourage folks to look deeper into technical subjects. My career has been spent as a mentor to other developers. Deep knowledge is something I pursue and encourage others to pursue.

Good luck, mate. I hope things turn out okay with you.

Mate, I’ve worked with these files and there isn’t anything like what you’re describing. If you are interested in vocab files, you can look at the one for GPT2 and it’s much simpler.

But more importantly—this sounds like a lot to carry. If you can, it might help to talk to someone you trust about it.

I made it as far as the vocab.txt claim before checking out. That file is just a list of tokens used for text ↔ token conversion. There’s no “profile” embedded in it.

timm is an image model library, not an agentic distributed system.

PyTorch Dynamo is for optimizing Python bytecode during execution, not a hidden communication layer.

This reads like components being misunderstood and then some wild guesses at what they might do culminating in the final paragraph which is completely unsupported by anything you said.

Most of these components have been around since I first played with local GPT2 tokenization.

So this is more of a client thing than a Lemmy thing, but it would be nice, when viewing all, to have a very easy interface to block a community you know you will never be interested in. Maybe it’s not so bad any more, but shortly after I first joined All was full of repost bots posting to instances that were nothing but reddit reposts. What the fuck is the point of browsing AskReddit or AITA or similar when OP isn’t even on Lemmy?

Reducing friction to weed out communities that are in a foreign language but posting as unspecified, or country-specific communities, or niches that I have no interest in would help me browse All a lot more often.

Edit: And of course I just learned I can long-click on a community name in Voyager to block the community. Problem solved.
