Good on you for pushing that point. Trying to pass off the logging details identifying their llm as ChatGPT as a "joke" was incredibly stupid, but more people might have bought that lie if you didn't press that followup question.

Yeah I'd like to see the python "query" script and its git history to ensure it just pulls user comment into a txt file and doesnt then autoprompt it into an LLM api/mcp. That's the logical end point of querying user comments if you're going to use an LLM to "analyze" them anyway.

Maybe some proof of this qwen instance with setup logs or something that shows it existed at the time of the supposed local query.

and, frankly, given the “what makes you think there even is a repo?” type answers, I’d have some Ops Maturity questions there too

(nvm even the code itself (which apparently is something in the ballpark of heisenberg dynamics))

"libertarian" outside the US is the leftist term that Rothbard specifically and knowingly co-opted for shitheadry

Very little relation to capital-L Libertarians. Libertarian socialism is broadly socialism that seeks to replace the state with smaller-scale social structures and direct democracy that can satisfy everyone's needs equitably without the threat of violence or enforcement of property rights. Libertarianism is meant to protect capitalism from the state; libertarian socialism is meant to protect people from both the state and capitalism. I don't want to get into the details of leftist ideological micro-labels, but generally confusing anarchists with anarcho-capitalists is the quickest way to piss off both.

“libertarian” outside of a US context is a perfectly valid word to use to describe “non-authoritarian” or anarchist left ideologies, e.g. libertarian communism or “libcom”

i suppose you’d say “left-libertarian” if the meaning is ambiguous, but here it should be implied by “socialism”

.....lol

Much like the Clock People in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues deliberately invented one ritual into which they could channel all their compulsions toward ritual, SneerClub is the place within which we can quarantine all our pettiness and have it manifest in an appropriate manner, i.e., reading Yudkowsky's posts in the voice of Augustus St. Cloud from Venture Bros.

db0 tried labeling all of awful.systems as dgerard’s collection of sockpuppets acting as his PR machine with maybe a few other humans

db0 gets new job at IMAX with that projection power

db0 posted here for years but also thinks we’re all dgerard

given that the guy runs fediseer, an algorithmic spam blocklist that previously had a glowing endorsement for awful.systems and our moderation style straight from db0 until he deleted it yesterday, I don’t think it’s a stretch to imagine fediseer is about to go the direction all similar projects go and turn into some group’s personal shitlist, and the idea that we’re somehow all david and somehow all trolling (even though our instance pretty much keeps to itself) is going to be why we end up on the spam shitlist and possibly automatically defederated by a few large instances

db0 posted on awful.systems communities for long enough we were slow to deal with him being a huge problem and for that I apologize

that night, dgerard's sock drawer grew three sizes

(not too long ago) I spent just over a year working with/for someone who was like that (always both the victim and the hero, etc) and, god, what an utter fucking cost

same person was all up elon's ass, into "energy", and much more. it was truly an education to watch it up close
