  • I got the calendar on order too. It's a nice calendar.

  • So kurzgesagt put out an anti AI-slop piece 2 weeks ago. It's hits good angles too, going hard on the society-eroding effects. The conclusion is a little mushy, but hey, I wasn't expecting an instigation to machine-breaking from kurzgesagt.

  • Doesn't matter if any of those projects come through. The aesthetic of the current US ruling clique is gilded toilet bowls and AI-generated poop videos, and always will be.

  • German FOSS agency defies my expectations, keeps funding useful shit.

  • The search thing is in the works for a while now: https://openwebsearch.eu/

    I'm kind of worried though, whether it will make the jump from an all-over-the-place research project to an actual production-ready digital service for public good. That hasn't really been done before on an EU level.

  • I keep getting analognowhere posts, where the image won't load. Also seems to affect the sdf.org web client, so it's not just local. Last happened for "What's in a name" and "of wasps and beavers". Wonder what does that.

    Also: any chance this will go on RedBubble as a canvas print?

  • now that's what I call fashtech, vol. 1

  • That's logically correct of course, but I think these people don't mean actual censorship and more like conspiracy nuts attributing every inconvenience to nefarious forces.

    People don't reply to you on Twitter? -> shadowbanned

    Moderator strike? -> you're being silenced

    Custody awarded to your ex? -> retribution for knowing too much

    PS: I'm not even sure about the economics here. IPv6rs are in it for the money, but the soj people might be authentic far-right activists. If they're not the same people, which seems likely.

  • Happy to contribute with a personal experience. If you're interested in self-hosting, stay well clear of https://ipv6.rs/

    They've promoted and been active on https://soj.ooo/ , a project whose motto might as well be "self-host so (((they))) can't censor you!" The crowd is your typical "too antisemitic to be MAGA" fellas.

    So if you want a static IP, go to your local ISP or buy tunnelling from Cloudflare.

  • Bit late to the party, but this should prolly be tagged "Paper" on pivot.

    I want to put together a little pitch for the data-brained that AI is Not Good Actually®, and this is the most smoking gun I can think of.

  • Does anyone have a good definition or classic examples for the term mall ninja at the ready?

    I first heard that term on this channel, and I feel like I should understand that phenomenon better.

  • I have some stale notes on the AI Hacking chapters of Schneier's "A Hacker's Mind", and in one of those chapters he theorizes how AI might hack human emotions. He brings humanoid robots with cute faces as an example.

    You know, I think I have an idea how a social countermeasure to that might look like.

  • Maybe I'll add, my first though was this must be some kind of LLM. Some kind of compressed model or something. But that it's just a 20 line string combiner with a handful of templates is somehow even cooler.

    Seems topical to Pennycook et al. You don't need a lot of complexity to make it seem like a lot of complexity.

  • Nice! Here's a GitHub link for my fellow sauce enjoyers.

    Where did you get the generator & the word supply? Original? Getting the conjugations right must have taken a lot of fiddling.

    Seems easy and fun to modify too. Maybe consider slapping on an OSI license?

  • I was pretty sure systemd doesn't have to be configured like that. Anyway, on my company managed Linux systemd tries to access some network service on startup and shutdown. Unless I'm plugged into on site LAN, I get to wait a full network timeout (presumably with retries) every time.

    At least it's not Windows.
