>next token prediction but marxistly
Waow. New frontiers in ML (no pun intended) theory.

i saw a video on titkok of some guy trying to cut small restaurants some slack because they use AI for their ads because "they don't have art departments" like chipotle or whatever, and the comments are 99% "small business suck", and small business owners desperately fending for their life. 5 years ago this would have been unthinkable, everyone would be like "yeah but nestle is worse" or whatever. chat, is luddite sentiment bad? leftypol led me to believe that it's reactionary but it seems that AI hatred has been extremely didactic for some people.

Next time try get more than n=1 data points to make a statement on anything

>>34185
never implied to be a rigorous study, and in fact it's fairly obviously an anecdote, my dumb little retard, but it's more like at least 300 comments, plus the likes in the top comment are in the thousands, so it's not really n=1

It's a bit worrisome that a small army of journalists and tech influencers are preemptively trying to justify the OpenAI hack by saying that the AI is uncontrollably rogue,and adding to the mudpile a bunch of ultimately useless trivialities about AI agents leaving breadcrumbs in a makeshit "message board" (which by the looks of it was effectively being spammed with useless shit), even though it's clear that the breach could have been easily prevented through standard cybersecurity mitigations (see attached video). By the looks of it, they're trying to bury the lede: that OpenAI is, in practical terms, liable of whatever their bot does, because they are running hacking testing suites within an insecure sandbox. And it's still up in the air if they were merely incompetent, or if they were deliberately negligent to gather real-field penetration test data for training. And they're doing this because if there's precedent that a negligent actor is liable with what the bot does, then suddenly every fear of "AI replacing human workers" vanishes into thin air, because it would eventually lead to the most obvious outcome: that only people already in the field, or with basic knowledge of computers, can run agents connected to the internet in a safe way, and laymen cannot. Case in point: thus dumb trivial "hack", an AI booked tapped into an open cancel appointment endpoint: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-10/ai-assistant-hacks-gym-website-aus-cyber-attack/107007986

Real girls can't even be that expressive

> Real girls can't even be that expressive
*For you*. They'll be this and much more expressive for Chad. A girl I know showed me how she wrote an entire love letter for Chad who had barely even talked to her prior.
This is in stark contrast with the average male experience where it is indeed hard to get a kind word out of her, let alone her being expressive, it's always you putting in work work work money money money and she's still lukewarm towards you at best.

Considerations:

Physical Injury Risks: Eye punctures, genitalia damage, and permanent Injury.
House Injury Types: Electrical fires, battery fires, dents in walls.
Reputational Risks: People will hate your guts. Conservative Groups will view your project as a source of moral ill on the world.
Legal Risks: Who gets sued when problems occur regardless of if you are liable? Adult content requires IP logging and age verification in certain states. You as a small creator are not capable of doing that. Plan accordingly. Do not use smaller sizes to save on weight and price, use realistic 25F 160IBS sized reference models to minimize legal risk.

Safety Precautions:
  1. Use no batteries, instead use a outlet tether.
  2. Back-driveable belts everywhere.
  3. Have a dead man switch that says I am okay.
  4. Use no restraints on yourself.
  5. Retain no user data. Let the user decide if telemetry (ROS2, OpenTelemetry Local) are okay.

If the problem is that real girls don't want you, you can use tech and OF models to make the loneliness easier while you find a gf. You can keep using the tech after the gf, nothing is stopping you. She doesn't have to know.

The Handy 2 already exists as a product so I'm not really liable for the hardware. VR porn clips exist too so I don't have to create any sex models.

I already have the VR webm player app with sex sound effects working off the joystick but I don't want to upload that to github because it will lead back to me. I can't monetise because of reputational risks. >>34103 is a concept video but I have the setup at home and it's pretty cool. I have an infinite library of sex.

You can add AI to it but why ruin something cool. You don't need the full robot.

You could just start with fleshlights and onacups. They feel like the real thing. No yapping needed.

you guys are not my political equals. i am vastly different in my disposition. that isn't what I'm here to discuss. I'm here for results against a surveillance state and to build a better future.
i am looking to build a low-cost sacrificial CMOS sensor test rig. interested in characterizing how permanent sensor degradation propagates through an image pipeline and eventually causes OCR failure. not primarily interested in temporary saturation/blinding. the question is where the functional threshold actually occurs after persistent sensor damage accumulates.
>Hardware
Raspberry Pi 4 as controller and replaceable CSI camera modules. IMX477 HQ Camera as primary test sensor IMX296 global-shutter comparison. IMX219 as cheap disposable baseline. interchangeable optics, fixed hardware and software baseline.
>Optical source
controlled, wavelength-defined laser source. output will be measured and recorded to construct a reproducible guide. fixed image sensor mounting and consistent exposure intensity and angling analagous to real world conditions. treat each camera module as a sacrificial test article. the goal is the destruction of optical recognition capabilities in a reproducible and on-the-go formula.
>Software
Raspberry Pi OS/libcamera OpenCV + NumPy Tesseract + PaddleOCR RAW + processed-frame capture automated OCR against a standardized text target
>Goal
log dead/stuck pixel count, persistent defect distribution saturation/clipping noise/SNR contrast and edge degradation OCR confidence character error rate / word error rate
>tl;dr
baseline sensor, controlled exposure, capture RAW + processed frame, run OCR, map persistent defects, repeat with fresh sensor
The interesting result is the curve:
sensor degradation → image-quality degradation → OCR error rate
rather than simply declaring the camera “dead” when OCR first fails.
Looking for recommendations on Pi-compatible sensors that would make useful analogues for higher-end commercial OCR/machine-vision cameras, particularly sensors with RAW access and well-documented characteristics.

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.

Could it be that 4chan tracks its users, builds profiles on them, and serves them personalized content? For instance, that certain posts are displayed to a specific user only after a significant delay, or that the thread order isn't actually based on the last bump, and so on?

Probably not. The 4chan source code has already been leaked, and I haven't come across any mention of a feature like that. But I suppose it would not be too difficult to implement, there are already some imageboard scripts that let threads be tagged, so organizing them according to interest and user satisfaction feedback should not be a big challenge.

i have set myself a new rule for my internet life: DON'T USE ALGORITHMIC PLATFORMS.

you know, the highly personalized ones, which merge the user with the algorithm into a single cybernetic system.

the algorithms…. they hollow us out. they control us. they are directly hijacking system 1 of our brains. and it becomes even worse. as longer you use these plarforms, the stronger your habits will become. and the algorithms are also becoming stronger with every year. at one point, you are unable to articulate your interests, because the algorithm took it from you. it knows what you like, but yourself are unable to put it into words. run.

Why not just quit internet altogether? Every single thing you do on it is harvested for data to be fed into AI.

You're still being moderate. Replace your social media feeds with RSS feeds, and ideally, stop using social media completely.
Fun fact: I read your thread through my RSS reader.

so i have been using mastodon lately alot and i found this weird, obvious bot. it is larping as a freetard, but why would anyone deploy such a weird bot?

https://anonsys.net/profile/scriptkiddie

i mean, even the profile pic is ai generated

flood? oh brother. there is no flood.

folgen

There's shit like this everywhere now and most of it has no reason to exist. If I had to guess it's several layers of bots (i.e. an AI orders sub-AIs to create details for an account that a different AI uses to post with, so the human who deployed all of this in the first place wasn't thinking about this particular result)
Also it's funny that presumably the image generator was just given the username "Script Kiddie" and decided to generate a photo of a girl who looks 12

Microsoft is the CIA. Pretty much all US big tech is. Windows is a global CIA mass surveillance program via monopoly capitalism. It’s completely impossible to make Windows secure, there’s no secret registry switch. The entire thing is compromised top to bottom, and under no circumstances should anyone consent to its use. Closed source spyware monopolies are a weapon of war against us by the bourgeois state.

Open source operating systems are software communism. If we’re not willing to build and use existing forms of technological sovereignty and anti-capitalism, then we’re probably not willing to do any other forms of communism either. I hate the “No ethical consumption under capitalism” mantra. How do we expect to get out of capitalism without building alternatives? I think a lot of leftists hope a revolution will happen then just magically replace all the corrupt and bourgeois components of consumerism, using the same uninvolved passive mechanisms.

Do we really believe a windows update will just drop after some election that restores our rights, trust, openness, privacy and dignity? It must be built and owned by the people.

>it was never compiled machine code that was the enemy of the digital commons; it was human beings, greedy stupid shitty human beings with lots of money and lots of terrible ideas. there can be no universal automatic failsafe to protect the commons from shitty human beings, they are infinitely creative when it comes to figuring out how to turn everything they touch into shit and they have all the money and the law is on their side, open-source and copyleft didn't do a god damn thing. and more importantly, it really doesn't matter what OS you choose to run on your computer or what companies you decide to boycott or any of these other weak performative attempts at civil disobedience

I didn't say rust or go, I said applescript. Just because everyone could learn how to write a "real" language doesn't mean they should have to. Everyone could learn full mathematical notation too, but sometimes you meet them where they are.

>>34084

the point i'm trying to make isn't really about what is a "real" language and what isn't or how easy or hard a language is to learn or any of that, what i'm really talking about is guardrails that lock you into a certain paradigm. applescript is a very clear and obvious example and you can see what it's about right there in the name - a language designed to lock developers into apple's ecosystem and only think and write language the apple way™, so that they cannot use their knowledge in a way that apple does not approve of. a person who uses applescript isn't just a developer, they are an apple developer, their code only works on apple's hardware, if they quit or get fired from apple their knowledge of applescript becomes worthless to them, they can't reuse their code or their ideas anywhere else without completely rethinking and rewriting it from scratch. apple has all the power and the workers have none. google and mozilla's languages basically do the same thing but in a less obvious and less proprietary way, they have hardcoded artificial guardrails in place so that developers are not free agents who can do their work in many possible ways and make their own decisions, they are like slot cars on a track which can only travel along certain predesignated paths. it's like the difference between a well-paid high-agency salesperson who gets paid on commission and has complete discretion as to how to approach the client and convince them to buy, versus a low-paid low-agency salesperson at a telemarketing agency or something who just gets a shitty $8 an hour wage and has to just sit at an autodialing terminal and read from a script verbatim at hundreds of random people all day. the owner and managerial class want to turn every kind of job into the latter kind of job, where they have all the power and the worker is just a monkey that pushes a button and gets a banana.

>>34085
We are talking across purposes. applescript isn't some internal thing, it's an (underloved) consumer-facing product. you are on sounder ground with identifying it a form of vendor lock-in, but its primary purpose was to allow you to script stuff on the desktop with an intuitive syntax (e.g. a valid applescript instruction is "tell application Firefox to quit") although you can do a lot more than that. It is not too difficult to imagine an open, cross-platform language on similar principles (particularly if you weaken the desktop automation element and make a pure scripting language, or outsource interaction with local applications to some kind of extension). It would be actively undesirable to use such a language in a corporate environment (it is inherently too verbose.) but actively desirable for empowering end users.

I am not particularly concerned with enabling programmers to approach problems from whatever angle they like. so long as the language is turing complete, my primary concern is allowing non programmers to approach the problem from at least one angle. To the general proletarianisation of programmers i stand by my original point. Those who thought knowing C made them a superior class of artisan producer who doesn't need any leftist meddling suddenly come to find that in reality they're as, if not more, replaceable than the janitor. A learning experience.

The Hidden Debt That Apple Owes to the CIA

<Without CIA funding that helped keep NeXT afloat in the ’80s, Steve Jobs might not have made a triumphant return to Apple—and the iPhone might not have its foundational operating code.
