Id recommend getting and running Qwen-3.5-35B-abliterated locally. Having a local LLM is immensely helpful especially if you do the thing the companies disapprove of. Abliteration guarantees it wont refuse or censor. The token dealers are i

Honestly, that sounds more like you triggered the hidden "guard rails" or realignment (aka corporate censorship), and you got downgraded. Of course, you have no way to he absolutely sure, cause Anthropic lies about silent downgrad

I think 'exploring the dead ends' is *possibly* very fruitful. Various disciplines have a lot of appearing dead ends that someone in another field did solve. And they don't talk with each other. What I've seen with lots

Makes sense. LLMs only have 'knowledge' that was encoded by scanning as much data as possible. (Same way a search engine only can find data that was indexed) American LLMs are by and large closed. Chinese are open to a point. And

Why is this even a new law? Lying and fraudulent misrepresentation is already illegal. And "AI" is just fraudulent misrepresentation.

Can't say I agree. I've participated in a business startup hackathon. Back in 2018, before the LLM era got underway. I did a hell of a plan, talk, etc. Who won? 'Uber for ___' won. I forget even what the sell was, but it

Yes, yes it is. Or rather, every economist reads the first 20 pages of Smith's Wealth Of Nations, and basically skips everything afterwards. Like... This gem: "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and

You basically restated that its all about profit, and centralization. > giving access for free to the whole world, literally, is technically impossible. Again, this is what Mastodon is doing. This is also how email works. And its not tec

The problem is capitalist companies using heavily gamified psychology to prey on people. Mastodon doesn't have this problem. Pixelfed doesn't have this problem. Lemmy doesn't have this problem. Peertube doesn't have this

The real question is "why do rates go up with a data center?" That answer is interesting. Its cause in most states, if a company formally requests a power hookup, the power company MUST comply. Thus entails in upgrading substati

We know how to fix climate devastation. We migrate to renewables (solar, wind, geothermal, hydro) and less-polluting baseload (nuclear). We run desalination plants with the energy. We quit running farms in deserts (California almond farmers

What you're saying is I should be happy to oblige corruption and sycophancy. Like hell, quite frankly. This guy was teaching his own pet unsubstantiated 'theories' as a political science class. Anybody who argued or otherwise

Vouched for this. When I worked in IT at a second-tier university (not Ivy), I saw some of the classes that passed for humanities. And you have profs who are legit teaching cited facts, and some who teach their political persuasion as facts

Its the same too with renouncing citizenship. If you have federal student loans, you are trapped as being a US serf. And with usurious interest rates, you will never be able to buy your freedom.

The easier answer is to 'not treat academic loans the same way as a criminal courts monetary punishment'. In other words, quit treating them as non-dismissable in bankruptcy. Or, if you use bankruptcy to rid yourself of the loans,

Not at all. Systemic inertia is unimaginably strong. I easily see that changing the USA to be more socialist, especially in areas where game theory indicates its the best solution, will likely take a civil war. That also aligns with Marx&#x
