I love how it’s clips of people sharing their anxieties about the political situation and then out of nowhere there’s this guy insinuating there is some kind of tomato conspiracy:

It’s pitiful. Just a quick snapshot of our tomatoes here. They’re just kind of lolly gagging along. They’ve tried to die multiple times.

Yeah. No, I don’t know what’s going on.

We haven’t even gotten a single tomato this year and for the first time we finally got zucchini and squash growing. So, you’re not alone.

Making Thanksgiving really awkward

The risks associated with hosting user content are the main reason for using a data centre instead of home hosting.

Is the legal liability actually different? Wouldn’t you still be equally responsible for what’s on your VPS, since you control it?

This highlights a big flaw in the golden rule: people want different things

It also means that his praise for and indeed positive experience with this “tool” is largely irrelevant to the broader social/economic discourse surrounding so called AI.

Yeah, but tbf all of the statements he’s making about it are in the context of organizing linux development and the most effective way to carry that out, and just happen to be public and so end up being widely republished and incorporated into discussions with a broader topic than that.

That does change things a bit

I don’t see how this means he’s wrong though, if people are hating AI as a proxy for hating their abusive relationship with their employer, that doesn’t seem like a strong argument that everyone who isn’t in that situation must also hate AI.

How’s that gonna work? They got it past the blockade, he’s outside US jurisdiction, it’s over

For now, age verification laws are being passed all over the world though

When I need to check something on Discord I do it with a browser anyway, I tried installing it on linux but every time I would run it I would get a demand to manually install a new binary because there was an update, and I don’t want it having that level of access to my computer anyway.

Companies want you to associate your transactions with a phone number so they have data on who is buying what. For instance if you go to Safeway it’s common that the price of ice cream will be twice as expensive if you haven’t registered a phone number with them. But you can give someone else’s phone number that has already been registered and that will also work, or register a fake number, a number lots of people would have thought of is likely to have already been registered. At least that was how it worked last time I checked, that was a long time ago.

NetEase totally could do that, and then Epic’s desperate bid to cling to relevancy would be even more pathetic

And if the traffic is closely monitored, you’d think they’d also notice all their cpu and ram suddenly being used for some mysterious purpose

Seems kind of impractical, why even bother with trying to propagate a 4b model running at 0.39 tokens per second if you could instead make a conventional worm using a more powerful AI model targeting known devices? It seems like the only reason you would want to do this is if you can only find vulnerabilities while actually on the given network, but that would be kind of niche since how many people are really running totally custom stuff?

Would it work to share and then get more food for yourself

Plus, they already did that shit with Fortnite so it won’t even be novel

Sometimes I think deliriants might be fun but nah

It does, some styles of rhetoric basically require a context of contentious argument, especially if they revolve around mockery/bullying and contempt for reasoned debate, so depriving them of your actual and apparent attention is the best you can do because it leaves them without anything to work with.

People are going to continue using Twitter because of network effects and not being committed to an ideal enough to give up access to information and content. But if they can be persuaded to use a frontend, at least Twitter is getting much less out of those people.

We’re never going to break the monopoly of these companies over the web by relying on the willingness of people to make personal sacrifices, tools like Nitter are really important.

Why do they want it? Accelerationism?
