The Living Web: Will there eventually be a protocol on top of (or as a part of) ActivityPub to run distributed LLMs on instances, with the LLMs feeding on the data generated by the Fediverse? - eviltoast

Last year, the corporate-dominated web came alive, much thanks to the help of corporate-owned social media platforms - how long will it take until the open sections of the web do so?

And if that has been achieved: with stuff happening in the digital world that doesn’t in the real world, it could actually be worthwile for people to immerse further into the digital world, which up until now was always the problem behind the idea of the “Metaverse” (I’m not necessarily for this; its just something that came to my mind yesterday). Could that be the actual next iteration of the web and realize what was in the past considered the “smart” web or would it be a dystopia?

And one last question that came to my mind: would it be possible to make the LLMs somehow run independently (could the blockchain maybe be finally put to some use here?) and how would all of that be experienced like from the user perspective?

    I’m not sure what you mean at all. Why would someone run an LLM on an instance? If you’re saying how long it’ll take for people to use the Fediverse for training data, it’s already happening. It’s no secret the web is being scraped entirely for training data.

    would it be possible to make the LLMs somehow run independently (could the blockchain maybe be finally put to some use here?)

    ???

    I think you’re confusing a lot of different topics together.
