@zeenix i don't think anyone should just ignore the massive ethical, social, environmental and political issues with genai, these issues are more severe than any quality-related issues

seeing so many people i used to respect fall into this is very disappointing. i really wanted to think they had a backbone, but guess not

there is no ethical or responsible use of genai under capitalism. this tech simply should not exist nor be developed any further. not for art, code, writing or anything else. and we should all stand in solidarity against it

the thing you must understand now is that regardless of their stated views, liars like Bryan Lunduke, Lennart Poettering, and Dylan M Taylor have demonstrated by their actions that they all have the same goal: a fascist software ecosystem that operates against our interests and exploits but does not empower our labor. it is the destruction of FOSS as we know it.

The correct way to run a headline for this story. The reg does not disappoint

#uspol #routers #surveillance #privacy #nationalsecurity #cybersecurity #infosec #cisco #theregister

hear me out: i starting to feel like all this OS, social media age/ID & KYC verification push because people are speaking out against world governments & the wealthy brats

They want to create fear. if you talk against them they can send the police or their supporters to your home because they know exactly who you are. This has nothing to do with kids. If it did, many AI apps would have been shut down a long time ago when they started 'undressing' women and deepfakes. Yet those apps are online

throwing this one online!

No Ansible, No LDAP: How to use single sign-on for app/server access across multiple servers: https://d1.hackers.moe/notes/no-ansible-no-ldap/

i've been looking into how small-scale community hosters might benefit from using single sign-on systems not only for web logins but also for server access management

please pipe all your unconstructive opsec rants to /dev/null 🙏

Worth repeating: AI platforms built by greedy tech CEOs aren't "making mistakes" they are working as designed

Part of that design is undermining experts, removing human connection & trust, and hiding decision making

Those are the things that make our communities work, and the more we lose them, the worse things get

Whatever the hypesters may tell you, LLMs do NOT reason. Given two conflicting versions of a story, they’ll go for the one that is repeated more often. The sequence of tokens representing a false narrative is – if the astroturfers have done their job right – statistically more probable than the sequence representing a factual account, so it's the false narrative that will get coded into the model and trotted out on demand.

Good job everyone. We're making quick progress towards full "Idiocracy". 🤦‍♂️

@ireneista I have some detailed thoughts here that are long and not for sharing in public. The brief version, though, is that an examination of scamming in quantum computing is incomplete without an analysis of sexual harassment and assault in the same culture.

GitHub is getting very close to zero 9s of uptime

Tomorrow, online workshop "Not so frequently Asked Questions (On Green Big Tech as a Counterinsurgent Force)" a the Decolonial Conference

Big Tech is not only complacent with but is itself the essence of counterinsurgency: it is the most world-making, overpresent, immediate materialisation of the imperial boomerang in our times. For this workshop, we propose a collective space to continue the sharpening of questions to keep rehearsing insurgency against Big Tech, particularly in its green techno-solutionist character. In that spirit, the Infrastructural Rehearsals Collective has put together an NSFAQ (not so frequently asked questions) to start to collectively formulate a shared vocabulary that circulates these questions and their potential grapplings with in spaces of anti-colonial resistance.

Stop using AI, people. I don't care if it makes things easier for you. You're sucking up water, burning the planet, models were trained on stolen data, and you're making the rich even richer. And I didn't even list all of the issues with AI.

Today a PM on my team showed the team a fancy dashboard they had built with AI on my request. Questions from other PMs

Q: How is the data stored?
A: I don’t know.

Q: Where is this deployed, do you have a server?
A: I don’t know. I asked Claude to deploy it and it did.

This is the future.
