The great Ángel Ortega - @angel - sent me this wonderful BSD Cafe logo, and from now on it will represent this instance.

The old logo won't disappear, of course. It will still be used elsewhere, but this one is sooo cute!

Thank you, Ángel! ❤️

LLMs are fascist technology.

Note that I didn't say "cloud-hosted LLMs" or "LLMs that aren't local-only" or some other qualifier. I did not, in fact, stutter.

This, from the European Correspondent, is a very good way of showing that even though they fill a lot of the media time, the far right are very far from the majority in any country (possible exceptions are Poland Hungary), the main question then is how to ensure the majority views are better represented.

A poster titled going far right where multiple boxes each representing one European country has purple shading showing the proportion of voters who voted for far right parties. Only two get even close to having 40% of the box filled with purple. Most are much much lower

Funhole Content Review [you will fuck computers and you will like it] ART [you can just walk away] Is it really possible to draw? Experts say no, but it can be faked with practice. If machines could paint, they would kill themselves. How to become an artist? 1. say you are one STOP! Before you start you must familiarize yourself with creative commons licenses and write a manifesto! Inktober is not a a real month. -Jackson Pollock sucks. I could do that. - Careful what you wish for. There is no such thing as talent. IS THIS SOLARPUNK? 5 million instagram art accounts to follow to make yourself feel miserable! Robert E. Howard's suicide note is in the public domain! You can use it for free! All fled, all done, so lift me on the pyre; the feast is over and the lamps expire.

La bazofia (que es lo que generan las IAs) es algo que parece comida y que puede saber remotamente a comida, pero que en realidad es perjudicial y hasta tóxico.

This should be an interactive adventure.

I’ve so had it with slop machine users playing the “victim” role here.

You use the fashtech. You are directly condoning, and giving actors reason for continuing, intellectual theft, land grabs, burning the planet, robbing us of water, killing off small projects’ servers by DDoS scraping, creating an addicted population that can’t think, ruining the planet with building even more polluting power plants, mining of rare elements, putting digital asbestos everywhere, etc. and you directly support and condone the eso-fascist, haters of humanity, eugenicist TESCREAL ideology, as well as systematic exploitation of humans that borders on actual slavery (not even sure on which side of the border…) (and your “AI” is even pretty much a digital slave) and all the other ethical problems with it. You directly condone and support ignoring consent to produce your plagiates, and to produce deep fakes, which are also used to manipulate elections in favour of neonazis. You are complicit in polluting our commons. And you do it knowingly. While there is a psychological link to hard drugs, you are informed, and yet you still argue in favour of, advocate for, and use the slop extruder.

You, “AI” user, are not the victim here.

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

Keep in mind that #Luddism does NOT mean across-the-board opposition to technology. Many of the original #Luddites were skilled operators of what in their day was high technology. #Luddism means willingness to destroy specific technologies that are judged to be socially harmful. It means assertiveness in choosing which technologies are to be used, and which are not.

If you're never willing to be a #Luddite, you aren't using technology. Technology and its owners are using you.

The #LLM #datacenters must be destroyed.

I learned today that POSIX specifies a tool designed to assist you in reviewing & modifying LLM-generated code. In typical Unix fashion, they shortened "reviewing & modifying" to just two letters:

$ rm code.rs

It even has command-line options to [r]ecursively [f]ix whole directories of LLM-generated code:

$ rm -rf project/

Every post/reply about AI you write should come with a link to a reminder that LLMs:
- Are for-profit plagiarism machines that have cannibalized the internet
- Come at a serious human and environmental cost
- Can't be trusted and create real IP problems, AND
- Can make you dumber if you stop thinking for yourself
