KI gibt mittlerweile überall den Ton an & bedroht zahlreiche künstlerische Berufe. Gegen diese Entwicklung wehren sich Synchronsprechende.✋ In unserem YouTube-Video erzählen einige der bekanntesten deutschen Stimmen, warum gerade alles auf dem Spiel steht: https://youtu.be/iI5KD9ka2ko

I mean. You can also just not use LLMs.

Insane to me how many people think open-weight models like Qwen just come out of thin air:

• As if they aren't trained on smuggled NVIDIA GPUs and deeply reliant on NVIDIA remaining alive
• As if they aren't reliant on distilling American models
• As if they aren't built via Alibaba Cloud scraping the shit out of your websites
• As if they aren't reliant on the same exploitative labour relationships in poor countries, for annotation and training as the Americans use
• As if they aren't released by Chinese tech giants which do the same, and worse things, than the American ones
• As if they don't use massive data centres for training, mostly outside China or in poor regions of China, so people can pretend "oh China has no data centres". People are literally protesting these right now in Indonesia

The other day some bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe shill commented and I said "lemmy.ml, checked out

Me: Don't gatekeep programming.

Also me: Folks should learn a bit of assembly before anything else so they can see just how wasteful most computing is today.

@dgar Say it isn't so! Cheapskate producers 😡

@mike I remembered to use one again today!

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

note to self: modify my GENERIC.local configs so that my custom-built kernels print dmesg output in amber, instead of the default green

r/atheism as a default subreddit was one of the biggest problems with reddit, honestly. There’s only so much smug self-satisfaction that a website can handle before going to shit.
