You might say "this will have a chilling effect on legitimate accusations" and you might be right, but the situation is bad enough now that it's created a pretty extreme chilling effect on socialization in general.
EDIT: I don't normally do this but argue your point. If you continue playing games like down voting very reasonable ideas that you disagree with eventually all of us are going to come together and leave you out of the discussion entirely.
I have ~5 projects in my shelf I did never launch because I didn't find a payment solution.
Got instantly banned with all of them, had to write them an email wait for days to get some response.
I usually just use crypto whenever it makes sense. And still have a hard time to believe that I can move as much as crypto as I want but a single payment from a Dubai account can get my bank account frozen for days ...
If someone wants to buy something from me badly enough, they'll figure out how to get some bitcoin.
I don't have the time and energy to deal with their arbitrary bullshit anymore.
That seems separate from the post it was replying to, about 1T param models.
If it is intended to be a reply, it hand waves about how having a bad experience with it will teach them to buy more expensive hardware.
Is that "Good."?
The post points out that if people are taught they need an expensive computer to get 1 token/second, much less try it and find out it's a horrible experience (let's talk about prefill), it will turn them off against local LLMs unnecessarily.
Is that "Good."?
I'll remain here happily using 2.something tokens / second model.
The thinking is that users are a danger to themselves and will be tricked by threat actors to add some CA cert to the trust store, paste commands into the js console, or download and sideload malicious extensions no matter what controls are in place so therefore these possibilities must be removed.
To this day, firefox is still the only browser that prevents its users from running custom extensions without Mozilla's blessing, likely motivated by the same garbage argument.
I have very little hope for Mozilla at this point and sincerely hope that they fail soon so that better open source browsers can take its place.
Simple Mobile Gallery was removed from Fdroid so I wasn't getting updates.
Migrated to this.
The recorder app sucks though, which is a shame.
Luckily there are quality options to choose from on fdroid.
In a real scenario, they'd know the verbal password and you can authenticate them. Drum it into them that this password will prevent other people from impersonating you in this brave new world of ai voices and even video.
2 factor authentication through a secure app or a trusted family member is probably also needed though i haven't tackled this part with them yet.
