The last time I had to recompile the Linux kernel was around 2013 or so, and it only took about the time it takes to go take a piss then go smoke a joint.
Well yea, you turned off the toggle in settings -> advanced features where as this new setting is a dropdown in user profile -> personalisation its a 100% different setting with no relation to the old one.
Called the vet clinic with an emergency the other day. Instead of a human there was an AI calling itself "Emma" on the phone. It asked me about the symptoms so I was listing them. It replied "Is your cat puking too or only october?"
I hate the ads and tracking too, but I don't think "not visiting them ever again" is a real punishment for them if you bypass all the things that make your visit profitable to them.
"Oh no - all these users who don't make us any money refuse to tax our servers with their bandwidth. The horror!"
They never claimed they do it to punish website owners though. I see it as them having found the experience annoying enough to opt out from using the service altogether
Yeah it's great we have that alternative, but it's sad AF it's pushed down our throats while no one is asking for it. Whether we have an alternative or not, it's just fucking disgusting something that was great and built for the users now changed to fuck the users for corporate gain. This goes for games, movies and series, cars, all sorts of machines like fridges and washing machines, software, almost the entire internet, basically most things you own, or used to own but now are cloud based and now prescription based. It's a total dystopia where corporations take control exponentially and start to push people into slavery. Nice to have Linux but how long until Google forces DRM's on websites so you're only able to use chrome to open sites on their servers. And what about PC hardware that's starting to implement AI into it. And that's just an example. How many options we have for browsing, I mean, we have Firefox right? But they are turning more evil too now. The evil corps are closing the gaps on independancy, privacy, diversity and ownership.
How though? Even our public transportation is a big corpo stealing our data, raising prices and adding shitty features no one asks for. Same with cars and e-bikes. "Then get a older car" you say, but they aren't allowed in my city anymore due to pollution. So I should just always walk? Same shit with my social housing corp, energy supplier, internet provider, phone provider. And even the grocery stores, they are all gettinf fucked up out of corporate greed. So should I go live out on the streets then, close my bank account, live on food out of trash cans? Yeah, that's going to be awesome, no more sucking corporate dick. Hoping the salvation army won't turn evil too.
Or do you think that by installing Linux on your PC means you're free of sucking any corporate dick? I'm a Linux fan but I'm not ignorant.
Yeah, it's a Christian institute with strict Christian values. There's one in the street behind my house. But at least they are helping the homeless. Although not equally. But it's more than most do.
They've been known to let trans people freeze to death on the steps of their shelters. The Starvation Army is beyond fucked, and has been for a looong time.
Well thankfully there are usually many locally owned, secular thrift stores. Goodwill and Salvation Army both suck but the small ones don't have that baggage.
The ruling powers in 1984 are sadistically oppressing the people. With seemingly no other point to it, than oppressing and tormenting on a mass scale. The whole point of the surveillance in 1984 was to oppress, the surveillance was secondary. I'm not saying that we can't draw parallels, and some can probably be made without too much mental gymnastics, but it's not like 1984 1:1, not even close.
Making people not own anything anymore while stealing all their data and forcing shit into them while making them pay monthly fees which increase constantly to bleed people dry, is not sadistic and oppressing? While at the same time taking control of governments by paying off corrupt politicians to change rules to make more money at the cost of safely, environment and freedom of people? Maybe the only difference is that the reason to torment and oppress is to gain money and power. But is that different to 1984? It's how regimes maintain power. Make the people weak enough so they can't do anything against you but make them not weak enough to work for you.
A lot of what you say resonates with me. I wish people who feel this way could just all move somewhere or something. But even if we could I'm sure it would just get bombed like Tulsa did.
I wonder what would happen if we all stopped using cell phones and laptops. Stopped really driving anywhere or buying things. I'm sure it's quite impossible for some. But we can always say no in some way or another. I wonder how bad it would have to get before people seriously think that the Amish lifestyle is preferable.
You bet your ass it'll be getting relatively sadistic if our governments become full dictatorships. They just end up being control systems for the sake of control, losing its foundational origins. There are plenty of countries that disappear dissenters and subject its people to 1984 style torture/re-eduction camps.
Do you mean AI companies are not using AI mostly to oppress other forms of thinking?
I think it's the goal for some companies. I'm not sure that it is happening yet. Not for a lack of trying. I mean grok is supposed to be very friendly to Musk agenda of the day, but appear to be uncontrollable in regards to facts vs opinion.
(Disclaimer: I do not share this opinion)
I don't think I do either, IDK. It's not a hill I'm about to die on, I'm hardly even prepared to play yahtzee for this hill.
What I opined to was the invocation of 1984 as soon as something can be used as surveillance. Because people who do this have either never read the book, or they've read the cover when visiting someone, who just happened to have a copy laying casually on their coffee table.
My problem is that spying isn't the main purpose of the surveillance in 1984. The main purpose is to ensure people know they're under surveillance, and make sure that nobody not feel oppressed. And while I dislike AI in everything, I don't believe that AI was introduced to hurt me or most other people.
And while I dislike AI in everything, I don’t believe that AI was introduced to hurt me or most other people.
Then why are they losing money on it while it pollutes inordinately and denies people access to information? AI is basically signal jamming the entire internet, at great expense, with no actual path to profitability. They're certainly not doing it to make money, because as it stands they're all losing money right now. Oppression, in the form of information denial, and regulation of communication, appears to be the primary goal.
Ah, you're likely referring to The whiney asshats that gave up all effort of making executive decisions in their life... but they aren't the ones complaining. They don't see someone taking away all their agency and advocacy as a problem as they errode into laziness and impatience.
Ive successfuly eliminated AI/chat bots completely out of my personal life. It was far far too much work. Well not that much, but if someone is tech illiterate its gonna be hard. Which unfortuntely is large swaths of the population.
Got a new email address with a provider that doesnt use AI, and also got the thunderbird client. Also changing the default search engine to no ai duckduckgo. Finally, going to linux so I dont have microsoft banging on about copilot. Well tbh i didnt go because of AI, its just that I liked the look of it and had heard that windows 11 was terrible.
Nah you're doing it wrong. You write macros to copy paste between all the AI features so they talk to each other all night long while you sleep 😴🛌💤💤
🥹 It costs these idiot companies dozens of dollars per minute if you do it right ❤️ and you're just using it to make live art 😍
I like to generate 50 images of Mario smoking weed just because I can. These AI companies know better than lil ol' me. They surely must be right about their growth projections based on how much people need to generate free images of Mario smoking weed 🥹
I mean, there is an argument to be made for wrecking the financial models these companies run on by running their subsidized or "free" tiers into the ground. Right now, all of them are kept afloat on nothing but investor speculation, so if the financial results start to sour (further) there's a good chance the whole house of cards folds on this "industry" when those investors back out.
Doing it by creating pictures of Mario smoking weed is perhaps not how I would approach that, though.
their finances need wrecking for sure, but they seem to be doing that well enough on their own
the increased processing is dumping literal tons of pollutants into the atmosphere, our drinking water, and our food supply and wasting our increasingly difficult to obtain fossil fuels, which we need for a bunch of other things like medical supplies and fertilizers for food for the actual real humans that are alive right now
I think we could consider it a form of eco-terrorism like sabotaging an oil pipeline. It will hurt the ecosystem in the short term, but it hopefully reduces the much larger ecosystem damage the company would've otherwise done in the long term.
It could work in theory as a form of sabotage, but I believe one would need to have great self-restraint to do it correctly.
It's hard to notice the difference when you are
actually hurting AI industry by abusing their free tiers and poisoning training data
you rationalize your AI usage by telling yourself "I am not paying so I am in the clear" because you want to larp as freedom fighter without actually sacrificing any comfort
Both subjectively feel very similar.
So I would rather not risk becoming 2nd case and avoid AI altogether, unless you are some hacktivist who actually knows what they are doing.
Going easier on the free tier stuff isn't going to speed up their collapse. I was shit posting but it's a genuine tactic people are using to be accelerationists against the AI bubble.
I was shit posting, but the faster the bubble pops by undeniable contact with financial reality, the better off we all are. That's less data centers being built, less power plants and gas turbines the sooner it all pops. The longer it goes on the more gets built, and the more that'll rot when these companies go bankrupt from the crash.
