What a waste of time. I’m glad that’s over.

As a consumer product, muse must be able to browse the web to do all the things it promises that magical "agentic ai" can do. Meta needs Muse to work, badly, because it has 2 trillion dollars on the line and is a laughingstock in the AI race. Problem though, there have been crawlers and bots for as long as the internet has existed, and there are lots of roadblocks put in place to keep the web usable for people - captchas!

So what is a poor Meta to do? Why, subvert the terms of service of every website of course! The muse "hatch" binary and the web browser ship with an entire suite of skills, tools, prompt text, and specific site guidance for 92 sites, all designed to defeat captchas!

Muse has used its powers of brute force to disassemble its own binary and extract the strings into a topical collection here so you can follow along at home: https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/muse-skills/tree/main/topics/bot_challenge

I like what Kagi are doing, even though I don’t pay for their search engine. I’ve been enjoying browsing the Kagi Small Web portal recently.

I’ve seen this argument paired a few times online. Unfortunately it just does not hold water whatsoever. We have 50, or closer to 60 now, years of liberal policy in America that flies in the face of this argument 100%. We have decades of anti labor, anti-regulation, Pro corporate, pro Wall Street, anti civil liberties and all around liberal policies to show us otherwise.

It’s no coincidence that we are where we are. Because as you alluded to it’s not just one party. Republicans are absolutely liberal, or they were before the last 10 years at least. As were Democrats. That’s the history of American politics basically since the beginning. Two liberal parties. One leaning slightly more conservative and one leaning slightly more Progressive. Or some might put it, the party of the grand bourgeoisie and the party of the petite bourgeoisie. But both fundamentally liberal. America was the first great liberal Revolution and it is something that gas guided us ever since. But it has not changed.

You mentioned the Old Guard of the Democratic party being “classical liberal” instead of your supposed new definition. However that Old Guard has been just the guard for a very long time. I would argue always. It’s not a remnant. It’s a feature. With the new arising of the new Democrats in the '80s. Clinton and Gore and their ilk. What did their rise to power bring about? Massive deregulation. The gutting of Labor. With their Republican allies they instituted an extremely liberal policy that tore apart any Progressive advances that had been made in the previous decades. Though it’s not like Jimmy Carter didn’t put his stamp on it either. Was Obama old guard? I wouldn’t argue so certainly, yet there’s a very good reason why when he tried to implement his liberal free trade policies he had all of the Republicans and about half the Democrats behind him. Certainly his expansion of their surveillance state and protecting big Banks like Wells Fargo were extremely liberal policies of a classical nature.

We could go on and on. The point is It doesn’t hold up. This concept of a new definition of liberal just doesn’t coincide with reality. Because the reality of what the Liberals in America vote for what they support what they legislate is the exact same definition of what liberals world over do. So when people tell you that liberalism is a different word in America understand that that’s a psyop. Because liberals and conservatives in America would love you to think that liberalism is as far left as you can go. They would love you not to have a actual Progressive Party. Which is what the Democratic party pretends to be but it’s actually a liberal party with a few progressives chained up in the bowels of the boat.

@mntyfrsh@ravenation.club @mntyfrsh@mastodon.social word up.

[ OpenAI says it will no longer train its #AI models on the live internet, citing “significant risks” ]

really? I have so many questions.

I dream of the day, when I can publish my videos on #Mastodon and get paid for my content without paying the 45 percent "Google tax" to a company that obeys the Orange madman.

The 101 level of things is so basic that it can be used accidentally, as Mike Judge has explicitly confirmed was the case.

You’ll notice that the movie does not have any themes or morals any eugenics outside of using a basic and limited concept of it as the premise for the world.
