These big websites are all AI generated now.

I don’t even see the point.

Why the hell would I want to go to your site to read the output of an AI. If I would like to do that I would go directly to ask the AI myself. It’s stupid beyond measure.

I partially agree. If forced by stupid management results would clearly be worse.

Also people using LLM as search engines have a lot to do with internet entshitification. Surfing the web have become so obnoxious that asking an LLM the answer to something is easier.

This have two obvious conclusions from my point of view. First is that the best scenario would be a not entshitified internet. Second is that when LLMs, specially the big ones owned by big companies, get their dose of entshitification, users will be back on square one of not having a good way of extracting information out of this massive sea of information that we have built and which should be much easier to navigate.

Not really true.

LLM valuation in the market is aimed at several things, making unskilled people appear skilled is the smallest of them.

The most valuable position in the market right now is as a substitute of search enginesm

The second most valuable position in the market is as a tool to speed up work for already skilled people.

And I would argue that the third most valuable position in the market is a bot tool to substitute human iteration.

Unskilled people doing slop might be the most visible face of AI as it’s very annoying but it’s a minority of it’s market, just a very loud minority.

That blog post is just a bunch of insults to anyone not agreeing with the writer without actually giving any elaborate or truthful argument on why is not just a tool and it’s always inherently “evil”.

Some arguments made can be easily disproven. For instance the climate change one.

They main point of the post is that “no matter how you use LLMs”. But then the argument given here it’s highly dependant on how you use them. The amount of environmental damage of LLMs completely depends on which LLMs you use, how you use them and how often you use them. This just here it’s showing the irrationally of the blog author.

But it goes one, next point is economics. Which is also 100% dependant on HOW YOU USE IT. Not all LLM are made by big evil corporations, and there’s nothing in the technology preventing it being made by anyone.

For a blog post whose main argument is that saying “it depends how you use it” is wrong, have only give arguments that are dependant on how you use. The author makes broad ignorant assumptions about how people use LLMs, asserts that everyone uses them like that and then pretends to control everyone lives based of that. That way of thinking is highly dangerous and it’s what have given birth to a lot of evil on our world. We need to be better, more rational, more open minded. Not falling for easy politics and actually do complex political thinking that won’t give simple answers to complex questions.

I’m still on 10.11. I guess is best to do a few intermediate upgrades just in case? Though an user ok the forum said it had no issues upgrading directly from 10.11

I have like 30 different services running on the same machine.

That’s why you want to use some container solution, I use docker for simplicity.

Also raspberry pi is not great for self hosting. Any cheap x64 machine will be much more powerful for the same price, and have less compatibility issues.

Most biologist are women if I recall correctly.

If someone talks me about a discovery in biology I think my mind would automatically picture a woman as the author.

This is a good idea. Knowing that nvidia bought huggingface, I’m sure that they will start banning and/or paywalling more models there sooner than later.

DOS making file extensions a fundamental part of their filesystem just to hide them by default in windows is some good irony.

You have anything online you will be hammered by bots trying to get through. That’s the sad reality of the world we live on. It has been like that forever. I get hundreds of bot malicious scans on my server each day.

All that’s left is to secure everything as hard as you can so they cannot break through.

Partial scaling.

X way to do it was a hack that works not so well.

For dual monitors and partial scaling wayland have been a bless.

It’s not that’s more or less efficient or more of less fast. It’s that’s been able to do things thar X was unable to and had to be practically hacked to get a clunky solution.

But it’s for LLM training, I promise.

I personally get my torrent files delivered via postal mail.

This is my proudest seed.

Oh that’s 100% true.

I was just thinking on the firmware of the thing. And how incompatible are they between models that are almost the same.

And as you say all phones are basically the same, there’s no excuse for how little normalization there is in the software they carry.

One thing I really dislike about the Mobile ecosystem is how much different each device is to each other.

Imagine owning a laptop and not being able to install linux without the manufacturer permission.

They really messed us up with how they created the phone architecture, so closed and restrictive.

I glimpsed though the article and I didn’t see it.

It said it used frequency of words for determination of AI usage.

Did it consider that AI is mostly trained of those papers and thus AI detection methods could not be as accurate as thought by the ones making this analysis?

Did the just considered general “generic AI repeated words” or did the actually used a frequency analysis of the actual fingerprint left by the LMM that companies put there for forensic analysis (and that I don’t ever know of the companies are publishing the signatures they use).

There is this football player, very famous, he was on the wining world cup team. That’s a solar cream negationist.

He has videos saying that people needs to make solar callus taking sun all the time and they won’t get cancer.

If you ask me he should be in jail, he is going surely to cause many deaths.

But here we are, the new crazy people bogus is that solar cream is somehow something bad.

I didn’t turn it down, so it’s obviously up.
