There should simply not be a mute button.

I don't really get how it's relevant. It was supposed to be blanks, he would have to pull the trigger for the movie scene, right? The person that modified and put real bullets in is the culprit regardless imo.

I do not think there's much risk to hosting a forum talking about piracy, even less so when your forum is simply connected to it.

Im personally not a big fan of defederation. It just seems to split the user base, it's extreme like cutting your arm off to avoid some poison ivy. In the end, it reduces the amount of users a post gets too and reduces the number of comments and general engagement. It has its place and I don't think this was it.

It's also annoying to have to create different accounts. I didn't quit Reddit to start using 5 different mini reddits one at a time.

That being said, it's really hard to care about.

To avoid being sued? The internet archive shouldn't be acting like a new age limewire. I hate record companies as much as the next guy but I use torrents and youtube-dl. No need for the internet archive to be offering the service at such risk.

They hold a lot of important stuff, I just don't want open season to be declared on suing them. Pick your battles kind of moment.

I highly suggest anyone not knowledgable on the subject to quickly read his wiki to get an idea of what he leaked.

We wouldn't know his name if the us had kept it's nose clean. He isn't the bad guy, the country drone striking and killing civilians while illegally spying on its citizens is. State secrets don't deserve to be kept secret if it's literally poison and corruption.

So if I understand, you want to train it to behave and speak like a specific character. I would format it so the instruction is a simple "Respond the conversation as (character)", most of the convo as the input and the last line the character says as the output. That's for the convos.

For the rest, I would first make a neat little package with some of characters quotes and speech mannerism, brief description of him etc. I would give the dune info and the character package to ChatGtp and have it give me question and answers where the answers are given in the characters voice. I would use the same technique to rewrite answers from other datasets to add diversity.

That should give you a dataset that refines the llms dune knowledge while not making it too specific, while also making sure it always keeps the characters mannerism. It also avoids the bogus Chatgtp answers since you are feeding it the info but the API still does most of the work. I would use datasets with quality answers like alpaca-gpt4 or Lima. I would make sure the bigger part of the data is the dune data tho, rewriting all of alpaca is like 150$ anyways, not really worth it.
