@npub1y2r…kvzk is anyone from your org attending this weekend's Fediday Berlin? I'd love to have a short chat about how the (FLOSS, no AI) tools we're building can be aligned with your work

LLMs are not like asbestos, that's an unfair comparison. Asbestos has useful properties.

LLMs are very far from AGI, that's true. But the agenda behind them overlaps a lot with the rest of the TESCREAL bundle, whose ideology is the issue. LLMs and image generation get their own slide in the talk, so no worries, it's relevant. It only scratches the surface of a very complex topic, that's for sure. Gotta start somewhere.

are you familiar with Timnit Gebru's academic work? I highly recommend this talk:

it's also available in paper form, https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/13636

you seem to be unaware of the bigger picture here.

unfriendly reminder: dismantling public health is a *right wing project*. Don't support their work by saying "during Covid" when you mean "during Covid lockdowns" or "back when people still took Covid seriously".
We have normalized condoms and STD testing. We can do better with airborne diseases than sticking our heads in the sand in the face of life destroying, incurable diseases like Long Covid that current vaccines does not reliably protect against.

super cool - I think you'd get more visits if you put links to the stores pages

motivated reasoning is one hell of a drug. I've seen a developer far better than me getting completely hypnotized by LLM sycophancy; I tried pointing out that what they proudly posted as "see? Completely bug free after just a few rounds of conversation!" did in fact contain a subtle bug/violation of their prompt. Got ignored and they only went downhill from there. It's a saddening cult really.

I'm hiring! For now Germany only, but hopefully EU wide is an option from March on.
Please read the ENTIRE thread. Boosts appreci.
Looking for a person with strong ethics (LGBT+ compatible, opposed to AI & general capitalist exploitation) - we're self funded and actively avoiding VC. This also means limited cash at the moment so the position is for a 6 month period, but can be extended once we manage to secure EU funding.

all of this, and also: if you're "diffusing my image into a synthetic sex tape", then -with the mainstream current models- this sex tape will be made based on training data (images/videos) likely obtained without consent. I assume you know this and implicitly assumed "given an ethically sourced training set", but it felt worth saying explicitly

I ultimately decided to not vote because I'm sighted and thus not usually relying on alt text (unless it's when I'm not getting a joke/cultural reference, or just reading it out of interest) and don't want to speak for people who do. I wonder if there's a way you can direct your poll mainly in the direction of people who have either lived experience or at least insight into e.g. blind communities?

good, bad, both?

I would assume it's almost exclusively CPU, not IO bound, and all the memory you take for the RAM disk isn't available to the OS anymore, which is a big issue with rust-analyzer as it is spectacularly memory hungry in big projects. So you might end up swapping which ... uh, not good. But sure, trying won't hurt, I'm just skeptical

if $new_thing takes off I'd be surprised if they didn't block that either. But maybe there's a honeymoon period 🤷🏻‍♂️

TIL about the C→3→SIGINT mapping!
