"Piracy is not theft, literally, by definition. You're allowed to believe they're just as bad as each other if you want to but they are literally not the same thing. Theft removes property from another, piracy creates a copy of another's property.\n\nPiracy is copyright infringement, making a copy of something you do not own the rights to copy. The front page of reddit is at nearly all times full of pirated material and by viewing it on a web browser you too are committing an act of piracy. Right now one of the top posts is a picture of a piece of artwork that was photographed and uploaded without permission, that's copyright infringement, if you saw that image it's because your browser downloaded a copy of it locally to your computer, that's copyright infringement. In most cases of copyright infringement (piracy) most reasonable people would not feel that a crime has been committed, this is *not* the case with theft.\n\nIf you want to feel that downloading a movie is morally the same as stealing it from a store that was planning on selling it, you are welcome to feel that way.

"You, and a bunch of young people on the internet agreed to that. Piracy is theft, it just is a \"less bad\" version of theft.\n\nI pirated the shit out of games movies and especially books when I was young and broke. I never deluded myself into believing it wasn't theft.\n\nWhat does it matter? This dumb insistence that piracy isn't theft keeps getting repeated on reddit. If you decide to pirate something, are you so simple that you can somehow convince yourself that semantics matter? Who are you trying to justify it to? Do you need society's approval?\n\nIt does not matter how shitty an industry is, how much money they make, how inconvenient it is to get legitimately. Pirating is an immoral act by the standards of most philosophies. Feel bad for a minute, and tell yourself you will stop or make it up to them when you can afford it.\n\nI don't lose any sleep over my past torrenting any more than I do over swiping a few chicken nuggets mid-shift when I worked at McDonald's.

"That’s the only book I’ve ever stolen. It seemed appropriate.",
"What software was it?",
"Eh, you're arguing semantics.\n\nLanguages evolve. Many people, if not most, feel that possession of digital content you don't have a right to is theft. Most likely, the definition of \"theft\" will change at some point to encompass the new meaning. \n\nAs someone who uses \"literally\" in a manner that would have been frowned upon 10 years ago, I'd expect you to understand the shifting tide of language.

"*You wouldn't steal a car*",
"Wait, so they get the books outside everytime the store closes and get them back inside when it opens? Why?",
"Perhaps rather than making an exemption for cached copies because of their technological necessity, we should instead consider what that necessity tells us about the way information must necessarily be treated to continue progressing technologically the way we have. \n\nThe idea of copyright in and of itself is ultimately unsustainable in a world that continues to be connected by the internet (or whatever succeeds it) as we see it.

"Probably they don't have a used book market. Buy discounted books, flea market books, free books, it's 50/50 at Goodwill or maybe books at one store and sell it to another used book stores. Why, so I can get store credit at the particular book store or some small amount of money to cash out. Manga is really good. Paper back romance and old sci-fI books are good sale for older people. You have to buy things that seemed salable.",
"Piracy is not the same as stealing someone's wallet. But people think that because that is true, it means there are no consequences. I've pirated a lot of shit that otherwise I would have never even known about. Many of these things I've gone on to buy legitimately. It doesn't justify the piracy, because there are systems predicated upon people trading usable currency for goods and services, and these systems keep our society functioning. \n\nSince I'm broke, the idea of giving the appropriate party the established price for what they're distributing is irrelevant. They're going to get 0 dollars either way. It simply doesn't exist for them to have. \n\nMaybe one day I get the money together to officially own said product, and buy it like I've done many times before. But I still got something for nothing. And moreover, if I go and brag about how I got something expensive for free and encourage others to do the same all the time, I'm letting the content creator know that their product is not worth money, and that they should focus their attention and resources elsewhere. And they will. \n\nI didn't sent anyone to the poorhouse. I didn't stick a knife in someone's face, or grab something and dash out of a store. But there's still an impact. I have no idea how you can tell yourself that the inputs you introduce to a system can't have any effect because you don't feel bad about it. ",

Every \"authority\" and reasonable person defines that as a form of theft. \"copyright infringement\" is a form of theft. \n\nThe people who insist piracy is not theft, or somehow even a moral act, are weak minds who have to have some flimsy justification. I ask again, why do you need to justify it? If you pirate a game, I'm not going to condemn you. That act is between you, the license holder, and your personal honor. \n\nAll the justifications are silly. Do what you decide to do without bullshit excuses and justifications. I don't think piracy has caused me or society enough harm to justify me getting pissy about it. Weak minds using dumb rationalizations annoy me, that is the only reason I debate the topic. \n\n",

It had to be stopped abruptly, otherwise we simply wouldn’t have the music industry we have today.

Hiragana and Katakana are alphabets with phonetic representations, and can be grouped into \"kana\". When learning Kanji, they will have kana to show pronunciation. Hiragana is usually used for native Japanese words, and Katakana is usually used for foreign loanwords and foreign names. In the image, the text is カイロ・レン. This is in Katakana, and in romaji (the Japanese phonetic system converted to the roman alphabet) it would be Kairo Ren.",

"Sucks that dissenting opinions get shot down so harshly, but really if they had come up with a reason to keep the mask it would have never worked with the themes of this story. SPOILER Kylo had to lose the mask so that we, as the audience, could see his emotional turmoil through his actor's facial expressions. His doubt about bombing Leia's ship and all his many conversations with Rey would have been dramatically worse scenes if he was still masked. This movie was at least partially the director trying to make Star Wars have a stronger narrative focus and less focus on cool masks, laser swords, and X-Wings. Me personally, it seems very difficult since Star Wars was never built to support that kind of story. Anyway we got 1.5 movies with him masked, that's more than Darth Maul ever got. Also don't worry, Disney will keep putting Ol'Dathy the money maker into their movies, like with Rogue One. If you need cool masks wait until he shows up in Solo. Hell, Boba Fett too.",

In how being a hero means not dying needlessly but living to help others. In how admitting and confronting your mistakes can be more important than fixing them. And in how focusing on the past can keep us from changing for the needs of the future. \n\nIt’s okay, I know a lot of people who don’t like movies that make them think or which don’t have predictable plot twists at predictable intervals. There are plenty of other movies for people who like that. But there’s a lot more that goes into making a movie “good” than simply meeting your predictable expectations. ",
"You're right it was a really good movie. I loved the part when Leia became superman. And the part where Snoke was split into 2 after a few minutes of screen time. I love the part that there are barely even any characters left - let alone any Jedi - the main thing people like star was for. Oh, and I almost forgot bombs dropping \"down\" in space with no gravity source nearby, that was amazing too. The absolute trainwreck of a character that Rose is was spectacular. The casino planet was awesome too.\n\n/s",

There is a planet below the battle and even if there weren’t Newton’s laws of motion state that as long as any force at all pushed those bombs out of the resistance ships those bombs would continue “falling” in the direction of the push.\n\nHe casino planet was a specific call back to Lando’s skycloud city with parts of the prequels mixed in. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.

"Alright, what about superman Leia (and for that matter, not killing her on screen)? What about the lack of characters?

"Those are fair critiques. The reason they didn’t push the story forward, I think, was a conscious effort to flesh out character motivation and growth. If too much plot was also put in then the movie would have been even longer than it was (and it was probably a bit too long). Poe grows as a character (wether one likes that growth or not he has an arc of hot headed pilot to resistance leader who takes fewer chances). Kylo and Ren have an incredible growth in their familial tension that is arguably better than even luke and Vader’s (your family is nobody, let me be your family) and much much better than the conflict/tension between Anakin and obi-wan with the roles reversed with Kylo being an Anakin-like the older Jedi trying to turn a younger less experienced Rey as obi-wan/padme.\n\nPhasma is better than boba fet to the extent either boba or phasma matters (and they probably could have cut trying too beef her character up because she’s there to sell toys I guess). \n",

"How about this. It was a decent movie but a terrible 2nd movie of a trilogy.",
"Yeah you misread that",
"Eh, not really. The point /u/GargamelJubilex is trying to make is that the Emperor from the original trilogy is just as badly explained of a character as Snoke. You can have the opinion that Snoke is a dumb character that's not explained well (I agree with this, actually) but you have to admit the the Emperor is just as shitty of a character. /u/Cn_mets argument that you can make a shitty character and don't have to explain them if there are no movies before that doesn't really hold water.",
"Regardless of opinions on the movie, I audibly chuckled at this comeback when I read it. Good job.",
"Wrong.",
"why? ",
"Awesome drawing. Just too bad it's of the most limp-dicked villain of the most limp-dicked, cold, soulless, and boring star wars trilogy to date. :/. Still, great artwork. I just despised the force awakens and last Jedi.",
"While I agree that Snoke's character should merit some explanation, there are plenty of ways that he could still be explained in the third movie. I think it is odd to have to wait for an explanation of his character, but then again, we had to do that for the Emperor with the prequels.\n\nAlso, you're assuming that Yoda knows everything, which he almost certainly does not, even that statement \"Always two there are\" is just wrong, and has been shown to be wrong. Sidious, Maul and Tyrannus all existed at the same time. Sidious, Tyrannus and Asaj Ventress all existed at the same time. Who's to say Sidious didn't have yet another apprentice in Snoke? Who's to say Plageious didn't have another apprentice in Snoke? Who's to say Snoke is even a sith at all? A major point of this movie was anyone can use the force, not just specially trained people or Skywalkers. Maybe Snoke just discovered his force powers, is self taught and took advantage of the power vacuum left by the emperor's death? Now I agree with you that the third movie really should explain these things, if it doesn't, yeah, super shitty writing.\n\nBut I think a huge issue with this is JJ Abrams' fault. He set up all these mysteries with no plan to actually solve them. He almost purposefully tied Rian Johnson's hands with all these mystery boxes. Now I don't necessarily agree with Rian's decisions, I can see why he did it, he didn't want to be limited by JJ's obnoxious mystery setups and just threw them away to make the film he wanted. Did TLJ have its issues? Yes. Is it any worse than \"let's not explain the emperor\" ESB and ROTJ, or \"let's just retread ANH\" TFA? I don't necessarily think so.",
"Oh wow. Did you not know that the “prequels” were actually made after the original trilogy? From the audiences perspective in 1981 the “emperor” is almost completely unexplained before an ignominious death.",
"I like the mask but personally don't enjoy his voice. I find it kind of hard to understand and [to me] sounds like a bad voice changer people use on the internet.\n\nBut that might just be because I hear it a lot playing games online",

"man dude,I think Kylo-ren is like my new favorite character! Just a kid who is trying extra hard to be like his idol, and falling into the trap which all young men fall into- of living your life thinking you have to be exactly like your hero, only to realize that you look like a ridiculous insecure autist.\n He even went so far as wearing a mask without understanding the reason for which Vader wore his. The scene where Snoke calls him a boy reminded me so much of when I was younger and people called me out on my ridiculous habits. I hope in the next one they show how he realizes he is an entire force of new evil all his own. ",
"It will happen (if it hasn't already. The tech already exists; it's just a matter of writing a program.) ",
"Fair points. \n\nOh yeah, there was also the force video chat 😂 having to resort to that trope to move the story ahead is pretty weak writing. Magic fairy dust video chat - which was apparently made possible by Snoke but also happened after his death. \n\nI feel like although some character development happened, there is too many things fundamentally wrong at this point to even fix. The trilogy wasn't even written all together. The films are being written separately. That alone explains most of the retardation that's going on. ",
"All of Star Wars is basically what you would get if you asked a preschooler to explain the plot of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” to someone whose never read it. I’m resigned to incomprehensible plot.",

"> No, you were expecting the same thing Po Dameron was expecting: dramatic heroics, last-minute redemptions, and an improbable but decisive military victory by the rebels.\n\nThis is the first I've heard of this - I think the vast majority expected this movie to shadow ESB, and therefore feature a major rebel defeat.\n\nI think Last Jedi was pretty terrible, but your list of projections here don't at all describe why.\n\n> Instead, you got a lesson in how sometimes it’s not about destroying what you hate, but saving what you love.\n\nThis was, perhaps, the worst scene in all of Star Wars. Perhaps just behind the \"sand\" courtship scene...\n\n>It’s okay, I know a lot of people who don’t like movies that make them think\n\nIt's cool you found this movie so challenging. I didn't find it very profound at all, but to each their own.\n\n> But there’s a lot more that goes into making a movie “good” than simply meeting your predictable expectations.\n\nYeah, like a good story? Or interesting and consistent characters? Nice strawman, though...",
"We kinda broke Japan during WWII.",
"> So there are like one sith and no jedi (1 if you count Rey) left in the entire star wars universe.\n\nYou forgot the part where the two main bad guys are not at all intimidating and were made out to be jokes in TLJ. I can't wait for Rey to beat Kylo again, like she did in her first ever lightsaber fight.",
"He was very easy to understand in TFA, but I think they purposefully muffled it in TLJ to make it more of a joke and that he should ditch it. Too bad - he was cool looking as hell..",
"It's a hell of a lot better than The Force Awakens. ",
"What setup? The Force Awakens was garbage. ",
"idk if you heard but, kylo doesn't wear a helmet now..",
"Yeah it's 6', battery operated and has a machine washable helmet and everything. \n",

"After TFA Star Wars fans: This is just the same as the first star wars movie, it's not original at all!\n\nAfter TLJ Star Wars fans: I hate that this was different! Why isn't it more like TFA?!?",
"A) Leia is Lukes twin sister. Whether you liked the depiction or wanted it to happen differently if you haven't been waiting 30 years for her to show force powers I dunno what to tell you. \n\nB) If you feel you have nothing to look forward to then that's you're cue that you're watching the wrong franchise. How do you think people felt when their hero Luke was stuck in papa-purgatory with one hand? They're following the same formula they did last time, the formula that made Star Wars what it was. \n\nC) It's called *The Last Jedi*. There are a few reasons why there aren't a lot of Jedi. If you look closely at the previous movies, you may notice something called 'The Jedi Order' falling and then an obscure event called 'The rise of the Empire.' You can complain about there not being more Jedi and you can complain about not sticking to the narrative, but you can't complain about both at the same time. \n\nI can pick out scenes with obviously stupid things that didn't work well with audiences, but then there are all these complaints from people about how 'it should go' which is usually in direct opposition to how it *has gone* time and time again. You can see how it goes when they build a movie based on what fans expect in TFU and you can see how it goes when they intentionally try to undermine expectations in TLJ. \n\nIf we're lucky, the 3rd movie will completely disregard what all of us are winging about and focus on its own story. Meanwhile, we'll be sitting in the wings telling them they need Anakin to come back from the dead with 7 lightsabers and 20 fidget spinners to bring down the First Order on his own, but don't make him too OP or anything.",

"A) If she always had powers she would have used them before in the plethora of times her life was hanging by a thread.\n\nB) not sure how you elected yourself to be an authority of what people should watch. You saying \"hur dur well if you dun lyk it den stop watching\" is not an excuse for making an objectively bad movie under a franchise with a rich background.\n\nThey did not leave the story on a cliff hanger because there are NO stakes. No one cares about the resistance. No one cares about the characters. I'm not saying I'm pissed off that I can't wait for the next movie. I'm saying I'll only watch the next movie for the lightsaber battles - I am not invested in the story at all.\n\nC) Luke is said in *this* movie to have trained many students. If they hadn't waited until now to mention this, they may have been able to introduce more force wielders in the story arc with time for character development. Now the entire fucking war is between Rey and Kylo.\n\nLook, I had no fan theories or expectations about this trilogy that I'm butthurt about. I'm not that kind of fan. But these films have been objectively bad. The new Bladerunner movie proves that you can make *good* sequels of old franchises. The fans of the original were for the most part extremely satisfied. Good luck trying to say that about Star Wars. ",
"A) That makes no sense under any scenario. Who has ever been able to do everything before they've been able to? Why would you expect them to? Whether you like how she shows her first force powers or the one's that she does have, you shouldn't be surprised that she has any at all and you certainly shouldn't be surprised that there's a first time when it happens. That's just the inevitable conclusion of what would happen. \n\nB) Who elected you an authority on taking my advice? Suck it up buttercup. If you didn't like the last sequel, then you didn't like the last sequel. If every major point you have for not liking it is already present in every other movie then, yeah, you invested your time in the wrong franchise. \n\nC) Yeah, getting to see some of Lukes students would be pretty cool. \n\nI don't even think there's anything wrong with pointing out what you didn't like, but if what you didn't like is already a quintessential part of the storyline then there's only so much to complain about. For example, I can't stand the stupid race scenes, but they are Star Wars. Even if they're done extra horribly like with the casino, there has to be some stupid race scene at some point.",

"Not really. \n\n30+ years of rain and weather would have washed most of the fallout off, that would be the main concern; radioactive crud, bits of the reactor casing or control rods etc, that had been vaporised and blown clear of the reactor in the accident. That shit's mostly sitting in the topsoil now, which is why eating mushrooms, foraged foods etc is not advised.\n\nThe next major concern would be sitting on a bit of actual fuel rod. Some parts of fuel rod can be as large as a grain of sand and would be an energetic alpha emitter. They're dense as fuck, so there may be a good chance a largish bit would not have washed away. But that would be the good news. Alpha radiation, by virtue of it being highly energetic and damaging, is not deeply penetrating, and would probably be mostly stopped by clothing. As long as you're not ingesting it, you are not looking at a dramatic reduction in lifespan.\n\nThe biggest concern about being in the contaminated zone would be bio accumulation; respiratory inhalation or ingestion via contaminated water or food stuffs.",

"Not really especially hazardous, no. It's unlikely this was located extremely close to the reactor, they played with it as kids. It's not enclosed, and has been exposed to the elements, which likely removed quite a bit of radiation. \n\nSo, 10,000 mSv is going to kill you within weeks. 5,000 mSv is going to kill half of people exposed to that level within a month. 1,000 mSv will give you radiation sickness, but won't be fatal. It will also increase your cancer risk slightly. \n\nA CT scan is gonna be about 15 mSv. Limits for civilians are 1 mSv, for workers it's 50 mSv per year.\n\nWhen the explosion occurred, the reactor was giving off about 300 Sieverts per hour, that's 300000 mSv. That's a lot.\n\nNow, the fairground is 1.3 uSv/hour, that's 0.0013 mSv. One of the checkpoints is about 0.6 uSv/hour.\n\nThis small toy car is probably in a similar range, perhaps slightly higher, but they will have been exposed for such a short period that it would likely have no effect. As long as they didn't lick it, or eat lunch on top of it, or just wear those clothes all the time, they'll be fine. \n\nThey likely got a bigger dose back in 1989 if they were there when it happened.

"Well... It kind of depends on which subs you mod, but sometimes people get upset and try to doxx the mods. That's always a little scary, *especially* when they get it wrong, because on the one hand *you* feel semi-safe for a little bit, but then you realise two things:\n\n1. Someone out there is *so* upset with you for whatever reason that they are trying to find you.\n\n2. Someone else, someone who has *no idea* what is going on, may have a bunch of angry people messing in their lives without any advance warning or any explanation as to why.\n\nFor me, I mod a bunch of trans subs, and we had a couple of big transphobic subs on reddit back in 2015. As far as I know, this group was started by some 15 year old kid in Kansas, but they got rolling and started hitting our subs frequently, looking for depressed or suicidal people to harass. They were targeting vulnerable individuals, looking to push them to commit suicide because they were trans.\n\nWell, those are people I care about that they were attacking, so I did everything I could to put a stop to 'em. I banned 'em, recorded and reported their subreddits and their activities to the admins. I figured out alternate accounts and reported those for ban evasion, I tailored the AutoMod to detect and report when we were getting brigaded and to automatically pull things containing various slurs.\n\nAfter over half a year of this nonsense, after a couple of suicides, and after closing roughly half a dozen of their subreddits, which they kept recreating, the admins *finally* kicked these assholes off the site for good. The admins shut down their main sub and closed up all of the pending subs they had waiting to move into, then stopped them from making more. It was a full eviction. (And then reddit as a whole called that censorship and got salty about Ellen Pao and it became a whole circlejerk.)\n\nAnyway, during the middle of all that, they tried doxxing and harassing a bunch of our mods. They slandered one of our mods and labeled her a pedophile for no reason other than we were in their way. As for me, they never figured out where I was, but they did find some guy and I have no idea what they did to him, if anything. I guess I'll never know; I'm just glad they're gone and they don't seem to be hurting anyone anymore.\n\nIt's just... Modding a sub is a wonderful way to give back to a community you care about, but you have to be careful to protect yourself, too. These are large, open forums and sometimes people get a little crazy with the anonymity of the Internet. There's no vocal tone, no facial expression, no body language, so a lot of meaning gets lost in text.\n\nLike... Someone who walks up and casually asks you 'Hey, are you okay?' is a lot more inviting than someone who strolls up, looms over you, arms crossed, and says 'Can I help you?'\n\nThey're saying the same thing, but the first person is trying to be helpful, while the second person is guarded and wants to know what you're up to, not whether they can help.\n\nBut since we have no vocal tone and we lose all of that meaning, something one person writes genuinely can be read as snarky or condescending by someone else. If you're angry with someone, you're likely to get more angry with them, regardless of what they say.\n\nSo you have to be careful. You have to be mindful that what you say represents your community. Your position puts you in a place of *service* to your community, but it also places you under *scrutiny*. People want to know you're being a good mod, and they might get upset of you make a gaffe. Stuff like that.",

Mods continued to delete any posts that didn't support that agenda by calling them \"racist\" or similiar terms. Hopefully it's changed, but a sub called Politics should have all sides included, not just one constantly promoted and anything that questions the principles of that one side getting shit on or censored. Sure subs like r/uncensorednews are full of neo nazi scum bags but it's seriously better than some cunts playing brainwashing games. Matter of fact they use to keep track of all the censoring the mods did over there in a sticky post. I'm sure plenty other lefties got sick of watching it the same way I did. ",

"^ This",
"Damn, how did this comment get downvoted three times in 6 minutes in a thread a day off the front page? Are you getting brigaded?",
"I may be, reddit is fickle like that. ",
"The mods only uphold the rules on the sidebar. They have fairly stringent and draconian anti-spam rules, but that's mostly because any idiot can create a political blog and then they seem to have a habit of spamming it over and over again to /r/politics just so they can get views. That gets old, fast, and to prevent it, the mods have added rules that allow them to pull things like 'Jim's vapor trails website' and 'Fred's Conspiracy Nonsense' but encourages submissions from actual news sources like CNN or Fox News or actual newspapers. Things like that.\n\nAs for the idea that the mods could push any given leaning, that's utterly preposterous. The modqueue in /r/politics is hundreds, sometimes thousands of items long. You'll be busy checking one thing and two dozen rule-breaking things will get posted or past you in that time. The mods there can't even keep people from telling others to kill themselves, let alone police every single post that comes in.\n\nHeck, they do their best to read and check every post just to make sure it's not a reposted source, that people are posting the original source and not 'Quoted from Associated Press affiliate in Wisconsin' and they can't even manage to keep that simple rule, either, because there's simply too much content coming in to keep track of it all.\n\nNew mods take time to train properly, so everyone is on the same page, and that means you have to pull one of your regular mod team and tap them for extra duty, babysitting the new mods and watching them, making sure they don't screw up.\n\nThen the new mods burn out because of this bullshit right here, where everybody thinks the mods are out to get them because they're biased. *Everybody* thinks the mods are biased against *them*. It's easier than owning up to saying 'Oh, crap, I was breaking the rules.' It's easier to blame the mods than to admit personal fault, so everyone does that instead.\n\nSo then you have to train new mods again, and people get upset because 'Oh, why do we have new mods again? Is this an ideological purge? Why did so and so leave?' What we can't tell you is that so and so left because being a mod there is grueling, people doxx you, people threaten you, and no one else gives a shit about you except the other mods... and even then, they don't really give a shit about you, they just care about how many mod actions you can do per month and how much you're contributing to the team. It's utterly toxic for everyone involved.\n\nThe mods are stretched thin, they don't have anywhere *nearly* the power that people accuse them of having.\n\n-----\n\n**Edit/tl;dr:** It's *a job* where you're treated like shit, you don't get paid, no one likes you, most of the people you're working for actively hate you, and your coworkers are in the same boat and know you'll be gone soon anyway, so no one bothers to give a shit about each other. As in, they treat it just as seriously and as rigid as an actual job, but you get no pay, no benefits, no respect, no useful experience, nothing, just the quiet knowledge that you helped chip away at their unending modqueue. *Maybe* you deferred some arguments or banned some spammers, but that's only temporary because both will be back again in a few hours anyway. Modding most subs is a joy because you feel helpful and useful and you're protecting your community and helping it grow, watching it blossom... modding /r/politics is like bashing your brain in with a brick for several hours a day, and hoping that maybe your blood will fertilize something.",

BLIFT: Behavior-LLaVA Instruction Fine-Tuning Dataset
Paper: Teaching Human Behavior Improves Content Understanding Abilities of VLMs
Website: https://behavior-in-the-wild.github.io/behavior-llava.html
Dataset Summary
BLIFT (Behavior-LLaVA Instruction Fine-Tuning) is a large-scale multimodal instruction tuning dataset designed to teach Vision-Language Models (VLMs) human behavior. It contains over 730k images and videos collected from Reddit and YouTube, annotated with reciever behavior such as comments, likes, views, and replay graphs.
By modeling these downstream receiver behaviors, training on BLIFT improves content understanding of VLMs, showing significant improvements across 46 tasks in image, video, text, and audio understanding.
Dataset Structure
Each sample in BLIFT includes:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
permalink |
string |
URL to the reddit post |
url |
string |
Media URL |
title |
string |
Title of the post or video |
comments |
list[str] |
Top user comments (cleaned and filtered) |
num_comments |
int |
Number of comments on the post |
subreddit |
string |
Subreddit source |
Data Sources
BLIFT combines high-quality behavioral data from two sources:
- Subreddits:
r/pics,r/videos - Collected: 400k images, 330k videos
- Metadata: Upvotes and top comments
- Filtering: NSFW, bots, duplicates, minimum comment quality
YouTube
- 250k videos from ~6,000 verified channels via Wikidata
- Metadata: Likes, views, top comments, replay graphs
- Filtering: English language, minimum 10k views, NSFW, duplicates
Benchmarks & Results
Using BLIFT to train Behavior-LLaVA (a fine-tuned LLaMA-Vid), the model outperforms base LLaMA-Vid and other supervised baselines on:
- 46 tasks
- 26 benchmark datasets
- Across image, video, audio, and text modalities
