Stop giving your time to corporations! W this, T that. They have played us for absolute fools, there is no need for economy class.
Seize the means of eldritchticity production comrade, don’t believe any nonsense about colors. The trains are always on time under the F co-op too.
No theory needed. You absolutely can, almost trivially so.
Only real challenge(s) would be either owning the hardware capacity or renting from a neutral host to run the fake AI personality at/or near equivalent levels if you’re gonna unleash Titty SouthRisesWood in an autonomous form.
Maybe a lawyer with a sense of humor on retainer to respond to the frivolous demand letters if they eventually find out you’re behind it.
And that’s just if you want to fight AI with AI.
Anyone could copy the model the good ol’ fashioned way in Blender, turn on a voice changer or use non-AI TTS and get to uploading their protected parodies.
I don’t see any reason the global south should get involved.
When has the global south ever gotten the choice to not be embroiled in the empire’s machinations?
At least be consistent in your thoughts.
“Me: Oh a list of assholes to avoid, nice. Shopify, who tf is that? EZ. 1 keep sucks, lol. Dell…they make trash, easy. Meta, lol, already done. Coin base more like Rube Base am I right? Digital Ocean still relevant in the hosting world? I thought they’d have gone the way of Go Daddy, Ez boycott list.”
“Brain: You skipped one.”
“Me: reads again Fffffffffffuuuu”
I have no fucking clue how to effectively boycott CloudFlare, gang. That’s…kinda the point of how they positioned themselves.
Stupid fucks, they’re the only one who stands to make as much hand over fist whether open source enshitifies or not. Except if it enshitifies enough, their spigot stops spilling money.
Greedy cunts and the allure of control, what a dynamic duo.
The fuck to use to replace the quintillion different services CF sells?
Asking for…several friends, actually.
As an outsider looking in who actually read the whole chain the same way I would a trainwreck…
The abyss you stared into is genuinely starting to stare out of your eyes, holy fuck.
Those downvote arrows raining on that other poor bastard stopped making sense over 10 replies back, and they’re gonna drag you right to hell with them.
Did you even notice when your wit turned from an irony exposing mirror and into a dagger?
The commenter you replied to, basically described basic human-ing for you, and why it works and has always worked, in the past.
Your rebuttal is focused on…the Internet as an object of stagnant sociocultural jamming, is that right? I think that was the gist.
I won’t engage that directly at the moment, as it could just as easily be insight with poor communication skills behind it, as it could be a strange conspiracy theory, as it could be propaganda meant to deflate and discourage.
All equally plausible places to come from, because you keep repeating the same bits and not going deeper.
We should be choosing lower effort and maximizing for effect. Protests are high effort low effect. Online culture jamming is low effort, high effect. It is logic to anyone who thinks about this honestly
What is a low effort-high effect action you believe we should be taking?
On the same token, if your tactics to achieve a strategy which you’ve yet to share are sound…what are high effort and low effect actions we can force the opposition into making?
Hey! Some of us sociopaths don’t give a fuck about titles, position, and power!
In times of abundance we just happily feign whatever is in the best interest of being able to happily feign, which usually helps out the tribe and that’s why we got to keep making enough babies to pass that along.
Ethics and morality are complex/expensive, no doubt about that. Everything you said (except equating all sociopaths with the same angles of sociopathy) is true, no question.
Luckily, our selfish drive to get back to the comfy and unassuming does tend to result in…headaches for the other, less integrating members of the worst of humanity class.
We’re outnumbered though and can’t tell precisely when it’s time to stop trying to feign along and go dispassionately tear apart the obstacles standing between us quietly living in the metaphorically cave near the village and basking in the sounds of a happy society whose periphery is all we need to get by.
This post is cursed.
Not because of the insane jank, of course. That’s on brand for self host and I love it.
It is cursed because it has awakened something in me, and I can feel every old laptop in my vicinity trembling in fear.
Cannot. I’m Impatient type. I’ll leave the theory to posterity. There…there might be praxis here.
@Pudutr0n@lemmy.world - You are certifiably insane. There are a million more effective ways to achieve this, with less resources… I LOVE IT.
Could we build an AI network to fight this?
There’s a reason why some very bright people in tech with decades of experience aren’t dismissing AI whole cloth.
The dangers are vast. The social harm is a real effect. The brain atrophy is an actual pitfall to be avoided, even at the cost of tying yourself to the metaphorical ship mast.
But the possibilities are also real, else they wouldn’t be using them against us.
The hatred is fine and all, but I really really wish the kind of people who frequent the Fediverse and spouted all of the encouraging anti-establishment stances…also minded their basic Sun Tzu:
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
🤔
“Who is committing the crime?”
You, if they can pin some bullshit on you, which they will try no matter how much a stretch the charge.
And it’ll be very hard to get it to stick, one of the few things–Wait.
I read OpenAI’s bullshit technical paper on their “incident”. I think I realized the easiest vector.
Their internal package repository systems.
During testing they both load them up with whatever the fuck they think will help what they’re testing but they also let the models freely iterate with whatever else is there.
How do they determine what goes there?
Well.
Every slop purveyor starts or arrives very early on at the same conclusion; the marketing they got was over hyped and they need to attempt to build a better mousetrap.
The models are better than average for this task over others, because that is also what the AI company is doing all the time, to put it simply.
And the AI company has no issues with copying the repos of the sloppers. They literally just use their snoop ability to grab whatever “improvements” people using their platform’s harness “develop”.
So. If you were to make a particularly good at “tokenmaxing” approach targeting one of their platforms, just catnip fill it with all of the other Holy Grails these chuds are always chasing, and it gets popular enough, it just might make its way to those internal testing repos tainted code and all, if it’s extremely subtle enough…
🤔 Do I wanna risk jail yet?
designed to lure people into stupid, argumentative, or conscientiously nonsensical conversations
Hey! That’s my job, wtf?
I wouldn’t have much fun with it per se, but I’d still use it. Pretty sure you could change the course of this bullshit within 12 names, if you pick them right and link their outcomes together.
Example:
“At [precise time], [target], opens their veins with the nearest sharp object and writes [portion of the message] in their own blood upon the nearest surface, while screaming ‘We were wrong, and judgement comes!’, before dying from a brain aneurysm.”
Run it in batches of 3 over a Friday to Monday, when the US markets are closed.
The precise time corresponding to part of an IP address.
The message: [Stop being evil controlling cunts for/your own gain and selfish desires/Or die alongside all your works/I know who is really in charge amongst you].
Batch 1: The three most visually and vocally problematic governmental figureheads.
Batch 2: The three most visually and vocally problematic billionaires
Batch 3: The three most embedded of aides that facilitated the first two groups
Batch 4: A random selection of Billionaires who have been way too quiet recently even as their money flows to make everything shittier.
They’ll figure out the IP address pretty quick.
Then they’ll hit the page with the instructions:
Make an international trust foundation with a legitimately open, controllable, and auditable operations by the people, with the charter to improve the lives of all Humanity
The instruction to ironclad formalize mechanisms so that the foundation ends up controlling no less than 99.9% of all their assets, by midnight Monday, and the promise that there will not be individual billionaires allowed to exist after that time.
Bam. The grand majority of the hurdles for a better world out of the way.
Then we can get to the real and important work: Deciding which specific leftist ideology is most correct and which form of Anarchism proves it wrong, as God intended.
Wait, I fixed it all, why is Ryuk still laughing?
You mean the systematic recording of birds, their behaviors, and making documentation about them and how their environment is doing?
Believe it or not, still the anarchist programmer catgirls.
Trump still couldn’t work out…
It doesn’t matter what anyone fills the rest of the sentence with, the answer would be the same.
There isn’t an initial attempt to work out things in the way one would expect an adult to perform, not from a perspective like that. Just an infant-like grasping towards anything that might be desired and enters the perception.
Most of us, when that exploratory reaching landed on things, concepts, people, that it doesn’t have a right to, experienced swift correction whether by caregivers who cared to educate, or the sting of consequences.
There wasn’t anyone who cared for that lost soul, but now any possible pity is decades and decades long gone.
And there also weren’t many consequences…
Until recently.
That is why all the reactions to not merely having his whims taken as imperatives results in response behaviors that are so infatile.
They almost literally are.
I am very glad another cockologist came through with the research data I was too lazy to collect and merely intuited from all those years learning at cock school.
You have greatly improved the corpus of knowledge, and I would be honored to be ranked amongst “Et al” in your upcoming “The Upper Bounds of Physical Cockology” paper, Dr. Sp3ctr4l.
Any leads yet on a publication that would appreciate the important work in our field?
Even if you would create 1000 clones of me, not one of them would result in the same person that i am. That is somewhat of a comforting thought.
Clone 1001 will be implanted with a cyborg brain and massaged to retain a specific shape in its widdle folds, all the way down.
We even tacked on the rest of a programmable nervous system. We based it on the specific shape of yours, as it was in the 10 seconds after your original death, when we zapped you up like a frog at a High School experiment and scanned you down to the electron interactions within you before your meat could begin to decay.
We thought that was pretty good enough, but we figured you also left all this digital trail full of your life experiences behind, so we used those in reinforcement training.
We think we found where the anarchism comes from, by the way. But we didn’t want to take it out. We need you to work on the Europa Ice mines, and foment some of that so we can root it out of the wild worker specimens, then we can see about updating you into the proper capitalist frame.
OH, and yes, you’re technically an LLM of yourself, but don’t think about that too much.
-Some billionaire’s wet dream
The personality bit also makes a sort of sense if you think about it. Whether you frame it as “nature or/and nurture” or “genetics and epigenetics”, it takes both sides to make a person.
The genetic component is sorta like the blueprint to make a person’s hardware, and everyone is made up of very hyper specialized micromachines. Then life experience gives you the software that runs them.
So twins would share the same sort of specific hardware that makes it more likely to optimize for running certain software.
Ya don’t break a rule; the car runs you over because distracted driver.
Ya break a rule to avoid distracted driver; you get ran over because your rule breaking in your tiny and light bicycle triggered the road rage of someone in a SUV whose control was entirely based on spite and the fact everyone else should follow rules without exception (that the state legislature carved for cyclists to try to minimize their deaths).
Being a cyclist commuter is fun, much recommended.
