Jensen Huang resigned? smh disappointed to see slut shaming win like this.

Okay I’ve seen Violet Evergarden episode 10 mentioned way too often in this post, so I’m obligated to blame you all for being currently sobbing uncontrollably

@jon also, they appear as a good middle ground between the two colors to people who represent governments and such, because they are diplomats.

Never attribute to malice what can be described as incompetence. Doomers, in this regard, are simply incompetent.

However, the gap between the competent and the incompetent is actually manufactured, meaning incompetence isn't a moral failure. Also, inaction itself does have material impact, regardless of intent. Even then, inaction born of incompetence doesn't absolve anyone of accountability.

This matters because, at that point, the common reactionary behaviour towards doomerism, pessimism, inaction, especially IRL, is excommunication due to the habit of framing certain results of systemic conditioning as a moral failure.

Given that the decision to do something, even just a small thing, itself requires a certain degree of deconstruction effort, it makes you feel ahead of those who are stuck in their doomerism. But in reality, you are actually still where you are, and always shall be, as long as doomers are still around you, bothering you to the extent that you resort to assigning moral hierarchy among your fellow working-class folks.

For example, personally, as an Indonesian Muslim woman, I don't see imperial-core populations such as certain USians as malicious in their self-absorption, universalism, exceptionalism, and propensity to make every oppression and suffering an Olympic event. They are just limited in their vocabulary, which results in a political imagination that stretches only as far as their Orientalist and imperial upbringing and education allow. That does not mean it's not annoying the fuck out of me, nor does it mean it absolves them of accountability to resist imperialism from within, or absolves me of accountability to bridge the gap and continue building coalitions.

However, my awareness of mutual obligation or collective responsibility in liberation struggles and internationalism does not entitle anyone to endless grace and hand-holding; neither does it dictate how I conduct my end of those responsibilities, let alone absolve anyone of theirs.

But it should never alienate anyone, blur the boundaries between the personal and the political in harmful ways, hinder anyone's access to material support, assert any sort of hierarchy, or engage in any other behaviour common to carceral systems.

Otherwise, a movement ostensibly committed to collective liberation can end up reproducing the social hierarchies and punitive relationships it seeks to abolish. And the people least capable of performing political competence are often the first to be abandoned.

TL;DR: Emotional and contextual awareness are political skills.

In terms of a SWOT I'd characterize this as a threat, not an opportunity.

LLMs will take over as 'super-aggregators' of everything that exists on the web, detracting visitors from handcrafted sites. And in the way that people tend to communicate with their AI agents, they are bound to supply a metric ton of personal information and data on their character that will greatly benefit surveillance capitalism.

It's not enough that LLMs are a challenger to a traditional search-based model. Most likely Google has already figured out that AI is the better replacement for their search service, whose quality is deteriorating further and further.

I could formulate an opportunity, based on local LLMs, self-sovereign data, perhaps a transition to local-first computing. But this opportunity currently lags a couple trillion dollar behind where the hypercapitalist mainstream is trending towards.

Most opportunity I see in providing real human-to-human services, true personal connection.

if all these models are trained on annas archive already why not train a free one directly from a script that uses bitorrent hashes

@TheBreadmonkey

Oh bugger. Hope you recover without sneezing.

Agreed. My wrist needed more ops, & still hurts 40y later, but once wrapped in plaster was manageable. Busting my ribs aged me 10y during recovery. I couldn't do anything involving breathing, bending, or lifting, & as for sneezing, dear deity, don't sneeze!😱

Magazine advertisements used to go so fucking hard

1991. We thought we'd signed a publishing deal with Elite for Caveman Ninja on multiple home computer platforms. It was going to be the breath of fresh air Eldritch needed.

Instead, we lost the company.

And, in a wonderful bit of reverse serendipity, I said goodbye to the Allegro too.

@jcm @fribbledom @jay0 But only for of fraction of the cost, energy and resources of an LLM! No no, that can't be serious, numbers must go high.

@apps sideloading is the only way.

obtanium has the best security approach IMHO

apkupdater worked for me, beta had Gplay as source when I try it

Aurora store is always there

If something stick to google, and I can't find it on mirrors, I'll just stop using it.

I allready say goodbye to whatsapp, is nice people can't reach your chat by your number, but people without number can.

@foss_android new design is far better than old

I have a doubt this is official new pipe?

Have this update on fdroid?

It's weird you go through who is following you and you always find someone who's posts you see a lot but you're not all that interested in and then you find they stopped following you years ago and it's kinda liberating unfollowing them guilt free.

I sort of think there should be more of a mutual thing when following. Or at least an alert to tell you if someone is not following you when you are following them. I know you're supposed to follow people because they are so very interesting but, come on, most people aren't that, are they? But you follow and see their little takes on life and they see yours.

I personally remove people from following me when I unfollow them. I just think that's polite really.

And I could never bear to be one of those accounts that have a billion followers but they only follow 12 people. Yeaugh!

Dario #Amodei, CEO of #Anthropic, is out here in broad daylight saying that they will cure cancer, heart disease, mental illness, and Alzheimer's in 10 years. Which...could we get any more Elizabeth #Holmes?

Now, the medical people, including the CEO of #EliLilly have already weighed in on what utter nonsense this is, and I'm not a medical people even on the internet, so I'll leave that to them.

But I will say that I have taken more than one company through IPO and/or merger-acquisition, and if one of my CEOs had started behaving like this, there would have been serious discussions about the feasibility of the enterprise as currently driven.

Why? Because we weren't a #cult. Anthropic and the rest of the #tescreal crew are cultists. Desperate cultists hitting all the marks; doomsday, miracles, esoteric hidden knowledge, and now, messianic.

This IPO is a nothing but a bag pull to leave the taxpayers holding the debt. Just like #Tesla. Just like #OpenAI.

Black people: The fediverse has a racism problem.

Women: so much mansplaining

White cis men: It's so great here! Everyone is so nice!

Black people: There would be more Black Peoole here if the fediverse worked towards curbing the racism.

White cis men: I don't understand why the fediverse isn't bigger. We're perfect.

Women: The reply guys are exhausting.

White cis men: It's just so cozy here, you know?

...rinse and repeat

My two IdM servers live in a data center. Every SSH login at home depended on a WireGuard tunnel to reach them. Tunnel down, tickets expired, locked out of my own hypervisor from my own sofa.

So: a third IdM replica in a bhyve VM at home. A DMZ that only exists inside the host, a tunnel that only worked one way, and DNS locations that were less location-aware than I thought.
