Denied Access - No reason
Hi, I applied for access to Meta's Llama 3.2 language models & evals, Meta's Llama 3.3 models & evals, Meta's Llama 3.1 models & evals for a class. I am a student. I was rejected access to all the models. I do not understand why. The form asks for simple acknowledgement, name, birthdate, affiliation, etc. I am filling it all out. I am a big support of Meta and Facebook. I am also a huge fan of Mark Zuckerberg. Go Zuckerberg!!
I cannot complete my assignment or class until I get access to the the models. I am also pushing back on the instructional organization because I think that if they can't get commitment from Meta on access to models than they need to refund my money for the course.
What can I do here? Am I able to gain access and complete the course or do I need to drop and request refund for the course?
Thanks!
what a system. we are just collateral damage to some arbitrary discrimination and I think we all somewhat deserve it for being willing to look the other way in every single intance that some people randomly (or worse, discriminately) get denied access to a tool that others have access to.
private corporations are not responsible to provide services as a human right yet our communities penalize the marginal people who don't have access it. so on one side it's not a right you're entitled to and on the other side it's sort of expected of you to be entitle to it.
