This article is barely even legible, and chains unrelated papers in some big scare. Regardless of slop, it's definitely no/low quality and a bunch of breathless garbage. Flagging and warning others.

What about us average humans, or is it ONLY the corporate LLM token dealers who get access? Either way, I'll pirate.

This is kinda disgusting but I think applies to this discussion. Blue cheese. Its living mold. I think it tastes good. BUT.. when I eat it, I notice a few days later that my excrement smells more like blue cheese as well. My guess is that I

Thats why I said to make up something mildly embarrassing and completely average normal happening. Unless you admit it, you wont be caught in a lie. And you seem "normal" to whatever litmus test of sharing something.

Make shit up. Don't talk about your personal life at a company function, ever. Hell, lie and make an embarrassing but completely legal story. Or something stupid like you were totally embarassed in HS or college. But, never ever share

Its bullshit that a terms of use can "agree" to what amounts to unconscionable terms. Mozilla with their Thundermail just tried saying in their ToS that if you're mentioned at all in anything legal, you agree to pay their leg

This is all just manufactured hype and lies (oh wait, marketing speak). The more humans are afraid of losing their jobs, the more management sees it as a signal to make them lose their jobs. And the techbros plans of lying and deceit work.

I've never liked cleverness in scripting when clarity costs effectively nothing. This is one of those clever things, similar to people using perl5 use trinary expressions. Like, are you TRYING to make this obtuse and hard to read?

That should be relatively easy to prove. Was a position (and tax revenue) hired for this position? Were there no candidates qualified for this position? Ohhhh, there were? Why didn't you hire them? Many job ads are simply scams. And co

by nekusar 3mo ago
The real answer is that many jobbads are fraudulent. And fraudulent job ads should be handled the same way a fraudulent advertisement for a good is handled: you either make good and prove hiring, or you're tried for felony fraud.

Yep, cause all of the LLM hatred is a proxy for end-stage capitalism and a technofeudalist overlay across sympathetic governments. And yeah, fighting against the worst that capitalism has to offer is a laudable fight. But LLMs, especially C

That's NOT always been the case. Libraries used to require membership and dues. Those then bought more books on the used or retail market. LOTS of fights were about that system, cause book publishers hated libraries. And well, they sti

The USA has sold its tech base off to enshittifiers. They defunded and destroyed most critical tech research. https://www.dongascience.com/en/news/75540 China leads in 66 of 74 critical tech areas. The USA has a w

I strongly believe that's the case. That's even the case with the recent OpenAI hack of HuggingFace. The censorship of US models is so bad (read: guardrails), that they had to use GLM 5.2 on their own hardware to do the analysis.

Its not at all wild. The capitalists set the system up. Capitalism exploits by its nature. So finding people who are more easily exploitable makes a great deal of capitalist sense. That's how and why this shit was set up.

No, he's not. He's more direct and brazen about it. But he's doing the same culling, the same political demands, same everything. Its just now in plain view rather than behind closed doors.

I didn't say it was fast! But its also a 800B sized model running on a ram constrained system with no GPU. Techniques, GPUs, more ram, and faster disks can always speed it up. But the point being is they run on low end machines now .
