What if for the entirety of July we didn't use AI chatbots, or AI searches at all, using duckduckgo or other search engines with no AI intergration instead.

AI just makes me dumber and makes thinking for myself harder, it would be really cool if some people here could help spread this!

Make some posters for this in the thread.

both are reinforced learning,but one relies on human feedback and the second relies on AI feedback

Saw this at the shops the other day, the boast of "tips from real experts, not AI!" nearly killed me

>>33721
when you see mags like these in the shops you just know the bubble isn't going to hold much longer. im sure these were dime a dozen in the dot com bubble, crypto, etc…

i think i will have this AI july because my "AI-first" company has a quota so strict it's not even funny. I blew my quota just by asking a straighforward question. This shit is so over man.

it's like we're back to the medieval era where anytime a person handled money they had to go through this whole ritual where they test each coin to make sure they're not counterfeit because forgery was rampant and there was no social trust at all.

>I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.

>Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.


>Or just walk away.


>AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.


>It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.


>There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but "is it useful" is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn't actually used it.


>Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a "it keeps finding embarrassing bugs" standpoint.


>But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.

it sucks that the two most prominent spokespeople for free software have to be a gross foot fungus eating pederast and a greedy soulless corporate bootlicker, basically the worst expressions of out-of-touch privileged white male mentality.

why is it so often the case that hyper autistic tech workers without basic social skills regularly assume the hyperspecialized knowledge that they dedicated their life to is "obvious" to everyone but literal braindead people when in fact there are very talented and smart people who not only don't know but don't care what they are talking about?

its not just tech workers and it's naught to do with autism, it's just self-centered behavior, assuming that your mind is all that exists in the entire world and everyone thinks the way you think and knows what you know and cares about what you care about. it just happens to be particularly prominent in tech workers because they tend to not get out much.

we know theory of mind doesn't have to be taught. children as young as 3 have it… yet it seems that adults often lose it

if you point this out about marxism people accuse you of thinking proles are dumb

>>33719

it's nothing to do with expertise or being an expert on something, and very often the kinds of people who act this way aren't even really experts on the subject they pretend to be experts on. it's just egocentrism reaching its ultimate conclusion, where a person can no longer see where their own mind ends and the world begins, they're so up their own asses that they think they are some kind of godlike entity who is above everyone else and therefore they don't find it embarrassing to bloviate at great length about some arcane trivia in front of confused unfamiliar audiences whom they view as lesser peons rather than equals. it's a side effect of being insulated from everyday material reality, being in your own little curated private world where you never have ego-deflating interactions with random people who are smarter than you and can really tear you apart and humiliate you directly to your face. introvert dorks who spend all their time on the internet often become this way due to being alienated from reality by their social ineptitude, and extremely famous celebrities such as kanye west tend to get this way due being so famous and wealthy that they never really have normal social interactions anymore and they are just surrounded by bootlickers who worship them 24/7 and nobody ever dares criticize them in-person. people need to be roasted and humbled from time to time or else they get weird and crazy and forget how to just be a person and talk to other people.

Use Dillo. It only has ~80,000 lines of code. That's smaller than some terminal browsers, even. Firefox and Chromium are like operating systems w/ 10s of millions of lines of code. That's why compiling Firefox on Gentoo is a fucking nightmare. With Dillo, it just takes a few seconds. And minus the proprietary js attack surface since it comes without it because it's a legacy browser with its own engine instead of using Google/Apple like Otter browser or Suckless Surf.

i'm not using a browser called dildo

for a web browser to be called a "web browser" it needs to be able to browse the web. dillo cannot browse 99% of what is known today as "the web", therefore it is no longer a web browser. see how that works?

This is the stupidest way you could pitch Dillo, but it's been a while since I've tried Dillo, so I'll see if it has ublock style filters and javascript whitelisting yet.

You also posted this on Kiwifarms and it wasn't funny there either

76k subscribers for making AI slop. pure audio. sounds real at first but then it fucks up at random things like calling the famous P versus NP problem the "P versus No Problem Problem"

big news, moratoriums are a-go. let's not entertain the implication that this moratorium is out of concern for new yorkers, and if more moratoriums crop op, then it clearly means that data center build up is very much materially constrained and they're hiding this slowdown by manifesting government red-tape from the void (it's not because i can't keep the insane pace, it's the government who wont let me!), if i'm right this is probably the most bearish news yet but maybe i'm stupid i dunno



 

was looking into minimal self-hosted alternatives and found texttotalk.org. plaintext only, no images, no markdown, no js tracking. sign up doesn't ask for email, just a username and password (hashed, not stored plain, checked).
no algorithm either, board is just sorted newest/top, nothing ranked to keep you scrolling.
somebody called out the site's html for being div-heavy instead of semantic in a comment, and the dev actually fixed it instead of getting defensive. small thing but tells you something.
worth a look if you're tired of platforms that call themselves "free" while quietly profiling you.

Take a moment to find a website you didn't know about before, or ones you just think are neat, and share them here.

The thread from last year on /siberia/ didn't get archived, unfortunately, so posting here so it lasts longer.

I would share one but it wouldnt be cool anymore ;)

Assuming you can't use linux for one second. Which is better. MAC/Apple OS or PC, for a desktop computer?

You can still get celeron tier laptops for $100-200, plus they will often sell old thinkpads that aren't a meme second hand at even lower prices, plus i know a guy who will buy the PC parts from multiple sources and sell me a build without VAT. Burger treatlerites might no longer have access to the same cheap PC and part imports, but that doesn't matter as much, when those still have the superior economies of scale.

even if it's not linux, id still use a unix os over windows slop

>>33532
even those will get scalped as soon as some youtuber hypes them up as cheap alternatives

>>33532
Those 4GB N150 shitbooks are going to chug like crazy running windows lmao.

a mac isn't even a computer, it's just a really expensive desk lamp.
