I once wrote down a food recept in code style because it seemed like the most structured way to do so.

Oh that detail is a TIL

Have they learned nothing since people used screenshots of death stranding the first this technology was used on a major platform?

If it works with such basic 3d models then what is stopping people from using an ai generated or stolen picture?

Kinda makes me think the goal is not to keep kids safe, its to avoid accountability when kids end up not being safe.

This seems to be an unpopular opinion but i personally had someone block me for presumably being too friendly and sincere, after an initial comment where i had agreed with them and defended their downvoted comment.

A second person blocked me after i pointed out that the person they where calling ai/a bot is in fact a well loved moderator of the community they tried to be a part of and they where simply misreading the room.

I don’t really mind that people remove themselves but it does worry me that tolerance of others have gotten so low that ideologically similar people will label each other enemies based on very basic misunderstandings of topics they agree about.

“If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.”

Most thinly veiled way of saying you want to profit from human trafficking.

The code to handle errors would be so bloated to deal with every conceivable and inconceivable situation you will get errors on your errors.

The computer is as helpful as it can be with what little context it knows of what was going on. Mostly it just knows that codeline 123 went fine and 124 went not.

This isn’t even fucking with them, it directs them to provide an actual proper answer.

Ffs, i dont know what browser to use anymore.

Firefox forcing native ai tools down our troath is just too nasty.

Librewolf being so anti ai, using claude in it freezes the page and they seem unwilling to fix it.

They hope to learn it to be a better fascist because for some reason trying to make ai smarter has the “sideeffect” of it agreeing with altruistic and woke ideas.

This wont hold because you don’t own anything using steam. Its a licensing contract that allows you to download and use the software they provide on their servers.

Use it upside down for a while? May need some time though.

I want to be an inventor but i never though of it as a job, just what i wanted to do.

I am in IT now and tinkering on my homelab and customised linux feel close enough. The main essence i needed seem to be simple exercising a flow of creative ideas.

For every that doesn’t understand what this is about.

They are trying to filter content from 4chan

The images you upload gets scanned. If they contain the words “anonymous” it checks if it also contains “no.” And if it does it assumes its from 4 chan and then deliberately serves a misleading error.

That is the world we live in, sure capitalism is dominant but you can’t simply dismiss open technology movement as non existent just because you aren’t aware of them.

“Volvo has a history with the modern three-point safety belt, which was perfected by in-house engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 before the patent was shared with the world.”

This story is a famous example of seemingly putting human safety before personal profit.

In a direct comparison this innovation on it is worse because it lacks the defining feature that makes it truly applaudable.

The original 3 point seatbelt patent would also expire after 20 years but they (presumably) saw the amount of people they could save and chose not to wait.

Though you might have reasonable argument on corporate motivation that is commonly accepted i personally am in very strong disagreement with the notion that profit incentives are anything but harmful.

In my own reasoning and experience i found that a desire for profit or personal success sabotage the effective value of any potential invention.

The objective value of a product that i attempt to perceive is directly correlated to how many living beings can successfully use it without losing value in return.

For example the most advanced designer cars that exist that can only the super rich can buy… those are complete worthless junk and leaching valuable assets and energy from our planet trown in the proverbial bin.

A text file that explains in detail how to fix and maintain a generic bike written by some passionate nerd and freely available online has in comparison uncountable value.

Chances are a for profit product is also build needlessly complex just to stifle future competition (Apple likes that one also) or intentionally flawed so a new later patent can save the day and sustain the practical monopoly on it. If you look around you see this everywhere.

I see the same trends in digital development. Closed source only exist to exploit people who have not learned how to property own and maintain a computer and to block off ways open source devs could use to innovate for the benefit of everyone.

This is why i prefer the proprietary systems not exist at all. So someone else can invent it instead. In theory all knowledge is out there and so are all inventions, to be discovered and shared for enrichment of the species as a whole.

If you ask me, if the benefit of everyone including yourself is not enough motivation to build something better then what already is. I don’t want you on my team.

If your motivation requires a self serving result, i would prefer if society paid you to STAY AWAY from any important work decisions because the losses are too great to give that power to what subjectivity understand as a mental illness.

If everyone benefits, i benefit. If no one suffers, i don’t suffer. You can keep the ego happy and still arrive to the same conclusion, i am award this is considered an extreme stance but i will die on this hill unless someone can point me to a higher one,

Someone remind me to adjust my opinion of volvo when they also release this tech pattern to the world for free.

I do not care how safe your system is in theory, if you are gatekeeping it so others can’t replicate it its more dangerous to the world then if it didn’t exist at all, which at least allows the chance of someone with ethics to still invent and share it.

In the mean time, Plan 9, since 1992,

annything but google is an improvement but none deserve a recommendation.

ddg is just bing with privacy features but still cozy with microsoft and allows some of their trackers.

Bing itself, does not need introducing as not being a good alternative.

Startpage is to google what ddg is to bing.

Searxng… being open source so you can check yourself if it doesn’t have trackers might be an improvement but if you are not self hosting it can you trust who is not to run custom snoopers? And if you do self host it… its still obtaining results from google and bing your as anonymous as your ip.
