Great. We need open alternatives/integration before the Corp monkeys saturates services/tools and the whole AI ecosystem. I don’t want to rely on corps and their services, and I don’t want to loose the AI capabilities. AI can help me de-google/de-westernize my life - max FLOSS and open living as possible.

And putting super intelligence in the hands of Oligarchs/Psychopaths - sorry, business people, are just not cool… People are plenty oppressed by them already…

Good people, the Chinese…

I don’t need Science ! Anecdotally, I have concluded that hair follicles in and around ears, brows and nose, SUCK out my youngness, and convert it into local hyper growth - or perhaps some local time-dilation where time speeds up ! It might even be Alien Probes - I mean, who says lizards prefer rectums ?!

Thank ketchup that they haven’t sucked out my sanity yet !!

I’ll just add a recommendation for people interested in cell intelligence. Michael Levin, a researcher found on yt, have done some very interesting experiments with cells where he revert skincell (among others) behavior, to something that look like an earlier developmental stage.

512GB 2400 ECC RAM $400

Interesting. I just bled a Ryzen ai with 64gb 8000 Ram because I thought/learned that memory bandwidth was important, but here - with this size model, he recommends a better cpu before more ram, before ram speed. However, the price of fast ram is ridiculous, so maybe the tradeoff is okay.

Yes. YT constantly thinks I’m a bot, so I watch some freetube channels in a yt window while logged in. 50/50 atmo. Annoying, but perhaps an addon to freetube could fix some of it by detecting/playing same video/channel on other open platforms, or a common distributed video cache perhaps. crossing my fingers for any solution soon…

“Around 230MB less RAM was consumed while running the Speedometer 3.1 benchmark. While ~230MB may not seem like a lot, this was just a simple single-tab test case and likely to be compounded with more common use-cases of multiple tabs across the span of hours of use.”

Great idea, and love re-purposing stuff! Price/ram probably limit the use to always-on low-power cases. Not sure it can beat small sbc’s at their own game, so not sure where it shines - except for re-purposing wasted resources oc.

Everything you said was true, but there’s a small group of shortcuts that are very harmful when misused. “IQ”, “GDP”, and many others are routinely used in bad ways, and are therefore not ‘more useful than not’. So overall, correct, but specific usage of these distinct meanings are very harmful, and always worth scrutinizing.

Just infantile Western propaganda/russophobia. reverse it for Western reality, and ignore the post…

Ah ?! I thought the ‘Epstein’ business where about a bad person, not the description of US Oligarch regime’s standard behavior. Interesting …coincidence.

A bit generic perhaps, but… Before I dumped the Zuck, + Reddit, twatter and other Western for profit propaganda outlets, I left him a gift of 12 years of posts exclusively about anti-elite, anti-Zuck, anti-capitalist and anti-west topics. I kind of hope they use it now they are data-hungry and may not be censoring effectively anymore.

Saltman/OAI, Google and others 'free AI’s they use to train their models on, are used exclusively for research about western psychopathy, the ‘Blue Church’ Market ideology, and how AGI in the hands of private ***chopath techlords and a fanatical blue Church is an absolute recipe for disaster.

So, I hide what I can, buy from need instead of Ads (I consequently boy-cut all corporations/products that go through), use FLOSS p2p tools, std blockers/filters, and only use corporate/church services now when either absolutely necessary, or to let them train on/learn what I want them to learn. Let them re-analyze important critical papers, websites, collections, etc. Not ideal or easy, but better than nothing.

I am currently planning AI agentic tools to protect me/others from the corporate/blue-church’s sphere of propaganda/manipulation. It will constantly research and fight back on my behalf. It will be an adaptive smart filter between me and the nasty market ***chopathy.

Well, if warring Obomba could get it, the prize really is open for anyone…

It has nothing to do with ‘state-owned’ or not. That is just an anti-scientific dogmatic propaganda from the Blue Church. Private media can be bought - in fact, can ONLY be bought - to show a story, and they wouldn’t care shit if its true or not. Privatised media is just controlled by psychopath Capitalists that have too much money, and a selfish agenda - no true information is necessary in private media. The Capitalist West and its private media is the most propagandized place in the world !

I slept in my first computer - and worked as verbal RAM (first VRAM!) 28 hours a day !

“…and when you tell this to young people today, they won’t believe you !” - Monty Python.

This eternal Sinophobia - hatred of everything ‘China’ from western for-profit outlets, is looking like an organized effort. Propaganda to demean a winning competitor. Sad…

How about we keep this Sinophobic propaganda out of this sub ? Your text is bat-shit insane that are borderline criminal. Please stop with all the China hate, it is just simplistic paid propaganda it self…

No, “Capitalism” is Destroying a Generation of Students. It is destroying jobs and most other existential problems come from that belief system, but AI - for now - is a tool.

Only in a terrible environments with psychopath behavior, does it do harm. Unfortunately, that describes 99% of all leadership under Capitalism. It has always and will always be powerful people misusing tools/tech for their own individual benefit. That is what ‘free competition’ allows to happen. Live with it, or complain about Capitalism instead.

Too bad, but we just have to live with open source being used for shitty purposes also.
