We have quite literally had screen readers since the 1980s.
I in no way insinuated that I do not care about disabled people, my own father lost his legs and I have dealt with the bullshit for decades, including the fact that disabled people, like any other marginalized group, are used to further shitty agendas and make bad faith arguments.
Thank god for screen readers, so let's let LLM companies do whatever they want because we shouldn't fight, it's all pointless.
At least your relatives will get the enshitification of the world read aloud to them ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'm just applying the same logic you did.
How much impact do these fonts have for LLMs scraping data?
Do you think the poisoning percentage will have any actual impact? Or do you think it would have an outsized effect on individuals?
Thats the point the very first comment makes - this method sucks. It impacts real people with a real need, and the impact on llms is nothing. Discard data in training.
Its meaningless, and the only real impact is people.
You are the one reading that as "dont do anything!", which is the same energy as me replying to you with "why do you hate people with disabilities???".
