Just a quick meaningless poll, which of you feel like their gouvernment is clearly less dumb and hallucinating than AI? (and where is this great land of yours?)

Doesn’t Go belong to google?

Also, why do you want to learn programming? (It is nice and fun to code, but the choice of a language may depend on your aim too)

Most of those who have one don’t plan to have an other one? Ok, but is that supposed to be weird?

They are the powerful people, and they know why they don’t want to be kept accountable.

My guess is we will see some less convenient models, that gives better result but a “weird” way ; and far more very convenient models, easy to use, but that generate advertisings as a result (maybe even with promo codes!)…

Remember how internet search have evolved, how youtube has became, how everything went when finance guys decided it was time for harvest…

Now look at this new field, see how they grow it… what are the odds their plan is to harvest it at some point?

We are not yet at the point LLM are so dependent on advertising and “partnerships” that they are totally biased in favor of specific brands… not yet…

Take a time to anticipate how the actual state will soon be regreted…

For sugar, it seems to be more effective than cocain if you want to make some food addictive…

I am a big fan of other theories answering the question. Yet also, both being trans and using linux come with a way of thinking where you accept to challenge the “one per default” solution, in order to find something better even if it is less comfortable at first.

So trans people are likely to use linux, BSD, (maybe Hurd) or other system that matched their needs. Because they value more the reality than the convenience. They know very well the social incentives to do as “normal people” do, but they can’t make it to lie to themselves well enough to pretend it would be ok to do as if it was ok.

At some point, most cis genders using linux are transgenders who happen to be born with some genitalia that fit their mind: their hardware got delivered with their favorite operating system, so they don’t need to install nor to set a dual boot ; but they feel so after considering different options and making their own choice.

It is fun for me… I am a crazy fool developper and most real software professionals tell me I am dumb to think that a mistake should lead to something else than an error that kills the program (and wait for user’s restart).

So, yes, I agree with you, out it won’t happen as long as makers trust deprivating software makers (those who make softwares no one else may modify).

Imagine if you could make it watch advertising for your earnings… But yes, it would need the softwares belong to you, rather than to the washing machine’s maker…

Why not rename tap water to “gazoline”?

no, you need to make the AI drink enough wine so it doesn’t hallucinate ; and it is a truth know since antiquity: if you drawn the datacenters electronic components into wine, there are no more AI hallucination… try it!

Old latin wise people used to say “in vino veritas”, the truth is in the wine… and so it is likely to harm crypto and security… if we accept mythology as a reliable source…

Wine is to be drank, not to pour on your computer!

I would love to find good ideas for protecting digital freedom, and freedom in general. May we can assume that those who do not care about privacy aren’t using Lemmy… But I don’t know how to protect ours except by defending it as a principle that should be universal.

And so a rule to restrict freedom except for us is not a good news to me. It is not as bad as if we were concerned directly, but it is still a step backward. Isn’t it?

At some point they may need a new target, and we could be one. We are known by the general public while we are neither too much nor too powerful. And nobody would defend us beside those already targeted.

I know it is not the aim, I am concerned by how it may be used against free softwares… once more, I hope I am wrong.

Also, I am concerned by the loss of freedom involved by this policy. And I don’t think it is made to protect any one, just to restrict and control.

USA murdered anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti far before they became a significant threat to the system. What ever tries to bring freedom is so scared by american authorities… But once more, hopefully you are right and I am just overly pessimistic.

I hope you are right.

Yet do you know if the thing implemented by California would allow criminals to make sure that a kid is really a kid before they attack? Because if that is the case, and even if it needs a hack to do so, it may do the opposit of its aim.

So if you want to protect your kids from adult rated content, and you live in California, you need to buy a propietary system. Which make sure data collectors get to know all about them, and therefore doesn’t protect them… But am I the only one to see the commercial argument about to be used by MS, Apple, and others?
