They've become cell phones on wheels. I'm disappointed with what vehicles (and phones too!) have become.

Arguably there's a lot of people who don't know nothing is faster than light in a vacuum. Because of science fiction, and lack of education in much of the world (looking at you USA), the title can easily make certain people think

I agree with the post, despite the sarcasm. But the one thing it's missing is how Flock uses AI to pass user data directly to law enforcement without a warrant. At least (most?) of other companies that comply with the said social contr

It doesn't apply to everyone, but yes I know people who are over-reliant on LLMs and definitely getting dumber. With devs and non-devs too. I hate seeing this happen.

It's weird how this point is being ignored, or that you even have to say it.

There's no evidence to support that. There's even arguments to be made that Internet and cell phones have ruined segments of society. We need to take a step back and make sure new life changing technologies are properly regulated,

The world and its people would continue to thrive if AI data centers magically vanished tomorrow. They are not necessary infrastructure. They're only necessary for wall street right now.

There's still banks that have useful websites and physical locations.

This is definitely Google's fault. Google allows kids to make webpages at sites.google.com where they embed web games. And because teachers also host content on the same domain, IT will never block the entire domain. They might block a

There's games like Fortnite that have multiple games and modes within it, each with separate age ratings. Fortnite's parental controls allow parents to whitelist the various features/modes. All I see are issues that have been

Haven't video games solved this a long time ago with age ratings on the games themselves? Sony and Microsoft's parental controls are convoluted garbage with logins galore. But Nintendo's, at least on the Switch 1, was dead si

Downside is those specific forks only work on very specific devices, when there's countless great hardware in the wild with shit software.

I don't use local models often enough, but this convinced me to uninstall ollama. Now I need to figure out which of the options at the end of that post is the best alternative for me.

This is a tangent, but people who advocate for "government like a business" are mental. Businesses want to profit and grow. The government should never be looking to profit off of taxpayers who are already funding the government.

You talk as if all Steam games use Steam DRM. No, it's not GOG but it's not the same category as Sony and Microsoft at all. It's starting to sound disingenuous when I see Steam lumped together with them.

Flying is fun. But shooting Cessnas out of the sky is more fun! I'm kidding around. I run 31b models myself too and am perfectly happy with them.

OpenAI did buy out the RAM supply to block competition. Arguably local models are one of its (smaller) competitors. Even if that weren't the case, every corp _needs_ you to be on a subscription.

So you want to take power away from the people even more than now?

Hard disagree. Corporations running the government instead of a nation's people is the problem.

You have to make some mistakes in your communication (or anything) if you ever want to grow and learn.

Every studio uses a surprisingly large amount of contractors including Epic Games, Riot, etc.

Same here. I use Firefox for everything, and uninstall all the junk via adb. Also low power mode not only for battery efficiency, but to prevent most background services from running.

My guess is to keep the US economy going.

For the keyboard I recently discovered HeliBoard. You have to add a gboard's library to enable glide typing, but so far I really like it. https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard/
