• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Liberation⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No but it is tone deaf (heh) to use Claude, a non-self hosted AI, and Suno, another non-self hosted AI to literally sing the praises of why you shouldn’t use corporate software.

  Especially when open source and open weight models exist to do both of those things, albeit at a lower quality.

  shrugs Whatever gets her in the mood.

  Obsession with censorship like this is going to put real humans in danger.

  All good, there’s never a problem with asking a clarifying question!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla profits plummet 71% amid backlash to Musk's role with Trump administration⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, Elon saying “changing political sentiment” as the reason Tesla is failing is victim blaming. He basically slapped us in the face and then told us that it’s OUR fault we won’t buy his cars any more.

  The KSA team keeps showing off incredibly impressive demos. I have no doubt they will be able to achieve a worthy KSP successor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I almost religiously play games without modding, but Rimworld is the major exception - it is simply too good to ignore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla profits plummet 71% amid backlash to Musk's role with Trump administration⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The public political sentiment never changed, Elon just decided to openly choose fascism. This is peak victim blaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is so strange! Usually, they wait 15 days to elect a new Pope. We could be seeing history in the making.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the man

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would somebody intuitively know that a newer, presumably improved, model would hallucinate more? Because there’s no fundamental reason a stronger model should have worse hallucination. In that regard, I think the news story is valuable - not everyone uses ChatGPT.

  Or are you suggesting that active users should know? I guess that makes more sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please don't stop horny⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with horny media is nearly always a quality problem, not a content problem.

  Too many shows use fanservice as a crutch to boost up a painfully mediocre plot or character.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not time for your point release yet.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just went back to Debian because Arch kept fucking up my graphics drivers. I have actual work to do, I can’t sit around tinkering on my box all day.

  That’s still faster than me though…

  If you’re feeling out of breath, drink some thorium!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free speech until you disagree with my support of fascism...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, but I think we’ve fairly well demonstrated that humans are not terribly rational.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free speech until you disagree with my support of fascism...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got banned from there for a stupid reason I can’t remember. I believe it was just asking a question.

  You know your ideology is busted when you have to forcefully quell the entire idea of asking questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can't beat the classics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As always, technology isn’t the enemy, it’s the corporations controlling it that are. And honestly the freely available local LLMs aren’t too far behind the big ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Open Source Pioneer Wants to Unleash Open Source AI Robots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s increasingly untrue as we build tools to inspect and modify those weights. Nearly every open model has homegrown LoRA support, and most of them have abliteration code that lets you erase undesirable behaviors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Because individuals stand to gain far, FAR more than corporations if IP law disappeared.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s xAI allegedly uses 'illegal' generators to power Colossus supercomputer facility⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should be illegal, but they are doing it legally by exploiting a loophole. Disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists create world-first touchable 3D holograms that float in air⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This one projects the image onto a bunch of vibrating rubber bands. I don’t think there’s a long term market for this. It’s a clever idea though that fixes the hazards of a solid diffuser (like those godawful fan-based volumetric displays).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Piece Director Megumi Ishitani Calls For Legal Action Against OpenAI: 'Can't Stand Ghibli Being Treated So Cheaply'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, and there are open LLMs too. There really isn’t an ethical problem with these IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Piece Director Megumi Ishitani Calls For Legal Action Against OpenAI: 'Can't Stand Ghibli Being Treated So Cheaply'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t believe in intellectual property at all, even things like CC-BY restrictions. Information should be freely shared. I only take offense when corporations take the parts of the internet that ARE freely shared and then don’t give the results back.

  Look, I work for one of those companies too, because I gotta feed my kids. But someday I would love to see that society get replaced by something better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Piece Director Megumi Ishitani Calls For Legal Action Against OpenAI: 'Can't Stand Ghibli Being Treated So Cheaply'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The objection people have to AI’s copyright infringement is predominantly a red herring. Nobody bats an eye when an indie artist copies someone’s character and sells it on a tshirt.

  What most people actually object to is a large corporation spending countless resources to vacuum up public data in order to create a privately controlled model. It’s about who controls the model, and what they plan to do with it. Which in this case, are just capitalists doing capitalism yet again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tell that to the Christians. You might even say their leader dying sparked the whole thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panic! on the trade floor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technology has sped up everything about society, for better and for worse.

  The problem is that the “for worse” parts are now back to back existential crises.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘An Overwhelmingly Negative And Demoralizing Force’: What It’s Like Working For A Company That’s Forcing AI On Its Developers.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I use it in my daily workflow but you as the senior developer have to understand what can and cannot be delegated, and how to stop it from doing stupid things.

  For instance when I work in computer vision or other math-heavy code, it’s basically useless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘An Overwhelmingly Negative And Demoralizing Force’: What It’s Like Working For A Company That’s Forcing AI On Its Developers.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Code written by AI is really poorly written. A couple smells I’ve noticed:

  • Instead of fixing error cases, it overly relies on try:catch structures, making critical bugs invisible but still present. Dangerous shit.
  • It doesn’t reuse code that already exists in the project. You have to do a lot of extra work letting it know that your helper functions or CSS utility classes exist.
  • It writes things in a very “brute force” way. If it finds any solution, it charges forward with the implementation even if there is a much simpler way. It never thinks “but is there a better way?”
  • Likewise, it rarely uses the actual documentation for your library. It goes entirely off of gut instincts. Half the time if you paste in a documentation page, it finally shapes up and builds the code right. That should be default behavior.
  • It has a string tendency to undo manual changes I have made, because it doesn’t know the reasons why I did them.

  On the other hand, if you’re in a green field project and need to throw up some simple, dirty CSS/HTML for a quick marketing page, sure, let the AI bang it out. Some projects don’t need to be done well, they just need to be done fast.

  And the autocomplete features can be a time saver in some cases regardless.
