yeah it's gonna happen way too damn fucking quickly (and way too damn fucking many times, too)

can't wait for the training set biases to cause a fresh horror for marginalised groups that happen to have to use this shit because it's forced on them. I'm sure it'll all go perfectly and nothing bad will happen

mayhaps, but then it's also to be said that people who act like the phrase was "cogito ergo dim sum" also don't exactly aim for a high bar

even though I get the idea you’re trying to go for, really fucking ick way to make your argument starting from “nonhuman entities” and then literally immediately mentioning enslaving black folks as the first example of bad behaviour

as to cautious erring: that still leaves you in the position of being used as a useful idiot

the fundamental problem with your posts (and the pov you’re posting them from) is the framing of the issue as though there is any kind of mind, of cognition, of entity, in any of these fucking systems

it’s an unproven one, and it’s not one you’ll find any kind of support for here

it’s also the very mechanism that the proponents of bullshit like “ai alignment” use to push the narrative, and how they turn folks like yourself into free-labour amplifiers

and not just post it, but posted preserving links - wtf

wow, you’re really speedrunning these arcade games, you must want that golden ticket real bad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

hopefully someone pasted the llmentalist article link to that person

it’s when you have to get the AI slotted up just right in the printer, otherwise it wedges stuck and you have to disassemble the whole thing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

yes, you’ve gotta be right, that must be exactly what’s happening. absolutely no other possibilities.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

your posts keep just slinging words together and it’s just fucking weird

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

negative reactions? to your own shitty posts?

well fuck damn, I wonder what’s confusing

Just ran across this and figured I’d link to people, looks interesting

revisiiiioooooon! (2025.revision-party.net)
 

I forgot to post it here earlier but it's revision weekend!

 

in the spirit of this post, but from the other side

I have a shitdroid that I can't root because the vendor sucks, but google can go fuck themselves too. combined with that I haven't androided much for about a decade and know nothing about the current ecosystem.. I'm looking for good alternatives to a few things. free/foss preferred but I'm pragmatic over picky - if there's a good paid option I'm willing to consider it

immediate known requirements include contact sync, calendar (more business than personal but either works if it's good). maybe also other things I should know about?

judicuous preference to things that support open protocols and self-hosting (i.e. anything that has to use their service to operate - no go)

tell me about good apps! I know about syncthing and photosync

 

some of the sub’s friends are holding a conference although they’re still not totally comfortable to go public:

but buyers are warned that purchases will “require approval”

aww, the poor babies. even with literal nazis in the whitehouse they still feel uncomfortable to spout their weird shit

hopefully if this thing happens at all, someone documents the everliving hell out of every attendee

some months ago I mentioned I couldn’t see comments in safari but could in fx (on ios). figured it out now: the 1Blocker “disable comments” filter sweepingly includes lemmy comment field types, but for some reason only on safari and not fx (despite apple forcing engine as they do)

the fix: add awful.systems as an allowed domain inside 1Blocker config

 

the precision and clarity are astounding

by the time the hilbert curves got there my mouth was hanging open, and it still gets better

 

Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Last week's thread

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)

 

'cuz I definitely do

 

“stepping away because I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration.”

yeah I completely believe you, weird lady. I too want to vaguely step into the warm embrace of my piles of ill-gotten gold, forgetting about the stressors of how to sell something that doesn’t exist and that you helped claim would be here really soon now. ahhh, bliss..

one’s gotta wonder about the timing of this announcement, right? like come the fuck on

 

I will say I'm not much of a fan of mysqls but uhhhhh this seems bad

saw this kicking around on the lobsters frontpage

IBM also includes a DPU for accelerating IO, along with an on-board AI accelerator

ah yes. an AI accelerator. for a chip that goes into a system that'll quite possibly have a lifespan measured in decade-partials. in environments so extremely up to date with the bleeding edge of technology that they are absolutely not losing their programmers to retirement. an AI acceleator for that. makes total sense.

imagine being the poor engineers who had to spec that out, design it, and get it actually existing. nevermind even the awe-inspiringly stunning disregard to reality that it takes for some management fuckhead(s) to have "steered" this

Funny enough, I asked why IBM had different terminology compared to the rest of the industry. They said IBM came up with the terminology first, and later on the industry adopted different terminology. It was all lighthearted and funny.

ah yes! funny! haha. not at all some weird insular shit from the same company that runs a worlds-apart platform with a control grip so strong it makes larry ellison check if they're infringing on anything actionable...
