Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

@ambiguous_yelp They proudly tooted about starting LLM reviews the day before yesterday. That caused an outrage because why use GrapheneOS at all if you don't care about security?! Can't point you to it because I'm blocked. Can anyone else help?

My AI policy is "I don’t want any kind of interaction with that thing." And this should be all you need to know.

“I Don’t Want to Interact With Stochastic Parrots”

This.

The “AI” doom narrative is really getting some traction this time around. Both got extensive coverage in Icelandic media and I’m seeing it spread far and wide among the web’s pseudo-intelligentsia. “Oh, no! These people know what they’re talking about so it must be true!”

It’s exhausting

Apparently, fascists took it personally when GNOME and Flatpak declined a sponsorship by Framework who previously donated to DHH's Omarchy.

That rejection is apparently why other fascists withdrew their sponsorships of GNOME and Flatpak in solidarity with Framework, and are spitefully funding Omarchy instead.

DigitalOcean is one of these fascist-lead companies.

Anybody know what to do with FIVE POUNDS of chicken of the woods

The nearest we have to this in San Francisco is the 2018 "Our City Our Home" fund. The Mayor's office recently persuaded the Supes to spend some of that fund on shelters instead of housing; the Supervisors knocked the fund's main creator off its board; and Proposition A on our upcoming Nov. 3, 2026 ballot would make it easier to crumple or end the board in future.

Cities can make good things. It's possible. But SF's centrist/conservative elected majority doesn't share that hope.

if you’re taking apple’s word on the obvious surveillance features because you liked their marketing: I’m concerned about the health of your frontal lobe

so almost all of the replies on this are about how this feature isn’t only for surveillance, surely apple’s using it to fight generative AI even though it’s perfect feedstock for it, also our good boy would never sell us out to the cops

anyway I hear the apple watch and iphones have an always-on recording mode now too? but our good boy corporation would never do surveillance

It's that time of month again when I promote my work, and I have some cool things to share! Most notably, Arca has passed twenty subscribers and we're almost a quarter of the way towards being able to cover our living expenses from Arca alone! If you'd like to join them and want to learn interesting things about statistics and engineering, we're currently in early access, which means that you can lock in access at a *permanently* discounted rate.

[...] Even if someone makes a 100% ethical large language model or other Genarative AI model, even if it took 2 cents to train, no more energy than you can get from 20 potatoes, and runs on an Apple II, I still wouldn't want to use it because it robs me of the opportunity to teach, and others of the opportunity to learn and become part of the community.

Meanwhile they couldn’t afford $50 a month for GNOME and Flathub VMs and cancelled their sponsorship last month.

Online shopping was supposed to be a bargain between shoppers and retailers where shoppers would look the other way while retailers fucked their workers, and in exchange the shoppers would receive greater convenience and a less expensive and tedious shopping experience.

How’s that going now? https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/its-getting-harder-to-return-thingsand-its-making-shoppers-mad-38b2fc55

The workers already got fucked, and now it’s time for the shoppers to be put to the grindstone to bleed for corporate (mostly private equity) gains. Even the WSJ is covering this.
