"If you can’t be sure whether you’re creating a self-aware , this is alarming not just because of the moral implications of the “self-aware” part, but because being unsure means you have no idea what you are doing and that is dangerous and you should stop."

Very interesting article on how AI generated historical images help further the American cultural hegemony on the internet and in global culture.

#googlebard and #chatgpt are showing #AI is developing rapidly. It's now clear that #human #intelligence can be surpassed by machine intelligence very soon. We are truly on the cusp of #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence. We need to think this through very carefully before proceeding further.

I have just signed the petition being organised by the Future of Life Institute asking for companies to pause giant AI experiments. You can sign it here: futureoflife.org/open-letter/p

"Naja, ich war so beseelt von der Richtigkeit meines Handelns und wollte das mit meinen Freunden teilen. Und ich merkte, hoppla, da wird sofort das Abendessen abgebrochen. Auf einmal musste man früh ins Bett und hatte keine Zeit mehr. Freunde haben mit mir nicht geredet und das tun sie teilweise bis heute nicht. Sie wollen damit nichts zu tun haben."

I love the idea of probing undocumented to find interesting data patterns. Everything that a website or app shows a user was probably generated using some calls, and it seems likely there are many that can be probed. dig in!

So I completed a minor revival of Pd-extended, the fork with batteries included. I've published it on , it also runs on flathub.org/apps/details/info.

I've been teaching it a bit, and I was missing the UI as compared to the other forks. Hopefully this is useful to someone else.

Generative AI for fake App Store reviews? Surely this is happening now? Who’s offering? Who’s using? Tell me what you know! (Or use Signal on my profile. ) #appstore #generativeAI #ai #apps #appdev

🧵With the growing concerns about #TikTok, I finally decided to have a look to it. In this thread, I will cover a review of its privacy policy and a quick dynamic analysis of the Android app with @pts and explain its limitations.

I run some relays, and I've noticed recently, like in the past year or two, that quite a few websites and services now block direct connections from the IP that the tor relays are on. These are not exit relays, they are just relaying Tor packets to other Tor relays, so the website and services should not see the IPs. My guess is there are lists of IP addresses of Tor relays and services are using that list to block traffic. That is alarming since anyone on the net with a relay is penalized

Happy International Day of Forests!

Did you know that forests are home to 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, and provide livelihoods for over a billion people?

Our EU's biodiversity strategy for 2030 aims to plant at least 3 billion additional trees by the end of the decade – a crucial step in the fight against climate change and the loss of biodiversity.

Let's all do our part to protect and restore our forests for the sake of our planet and future generations. 🌳🌲

I'd like to have something that automatically convert links to the preserving version in the browser. Like play links in , etc. There seems to be things like but for me the question is which one to trust, is maintained, works well enough, etc. Once I find a tool that I think it generally applicable, then I work to get it into so its easy for others to make this decision. Is there a browser extension for this that is worth getting into Debian?

@discord "Server"

(Maybe "channel", "instance", "forum", etc. would be more accurate, but OTOH maybe their use of this word was also partially the reason for its success, given that it clearly but quite incorrectly purports a level of control for "server" "owners".)

A left-wing conspiracy theory about the 1980 election was that GOPers convinced Iran to hold onto the hostages to sabotage Jimmy Carter's re-election.

Holy crap; it was actually true.

Anybody has any long-term uptime / availability statistics for Debian repos and mirrors?

I have a feeling they might be more stable than Fastly or AWS or Google infra, all of which had major outages over the last year.

Educating our new generations (girls and boys!) to be creative, handy and able to change software according to their needs is also crucial to achieve #genderequality and #digitalequity. One way to do it? Our book 'Ada&Zangemann'!

After using /#macOS from 1994-2012, I reached the same conclusion as Ken Thompson: "I've become more and more depressed, and what is doing to something that should allow you to work is just atrocious... And I have come, within the last month or two, to say, even though I've invested, you know, a zillion years in Apple — I'm throwing it away. And I'm going to Linux. To in particular." youtube.com/watch?v=kaandEt_pK

As a , I'd like to say: Welcome!

It is refreshing to see a very different in the Techless Wisephone techless.com/products/wisephon, reminds me of the Light Phone. The experience is designed around people having many apps and doing as much as possible via their phone. I want my mobile device to do very specific things well, and otherwise stay out of the way. Freeing the mobile ecosystem means giving people real choices of mobile experiences.

RT @Grady_Booch
Let me get this straight:

@OpenAI has developed a powerful AI.

They will not disclose its architecture or its training data.

They want to control the development of their own evaluation frameworks.

They want us to trust them to be its steward.

I have a problem with this. twitter.com/kondrich2/status/1
