Why the AI slop picture?

Anyway, does it need to be screenshots? My first thought would’ve been to curl the whole thing and selectively check for changes within specific sections such as the main content area while excluding pre-defined sections (e.g. a nested div of the class “price”). Your visual 5% tolerance might not catch tiny changes in a compliance document.

I like matrix too but am dealing with weird […] issues

The quintessential Matrix experience

There are parental controls, but it’s rare. FOSS projects usually aren’t very keen on building systems of authority, even parental ones.

For smartphones check out /e/OS (Murena Smartphones). They added parental controls recently, not sure how good those are though.

For computers your best bet’s probably a Linux with Gnome. They also added something recently.

You might be able to combine both with a custom DNS service, surely there’s something out there for that usecase (NextDNS?). But that’s already getting pretty complex.

Mullvad’s CEO finances fascists, please don’t.

I mean, they “plan” to publish that info, right?

I’d bet they used at least CommonCrawl (with it being the majority of data), arXiv, Wikipedia and the set containing all of Github. Probably not a lot of distillation.

CommonCrawl is one of the reasons small websites and social instances get DDoS’ed by rules-ignoring AI crawlers. Wikipedia data basically always gets used without paying them. Github… well, it’s a prime example of how they broke millions of licenses.

There’s also other stuff commonly used. Don’t get me started on the training sets for image generation. It’s beyond disgusting (and I’m not even talking just about theft and cultural destruction at this point).

This stuff is a bottomless pit, and if those (F)OSS models really aim to be up at the top they’ll have to break every possible moral, ethical and legal rule just like everyone else. Even more so if they omit closed-source training sets.

My question would be if it uses stuff like CommonCrawl as training material. Given their size I assume they used anything incl. unethical training data, but at least admit it?

The only models I ever found that even tried to only resort to ethically obtained data, being FOSS etc. were the tiny ones from PleIAs. And as expected they’re completely useless.

So far I concluded that an “ideologically sound” LLM is impossible due to lack of training data. Unless your ideology allows to steal stuff.

For me it was an early 34th birthday gift. Without refund. It usually hits people who aren’t doing sports, so if you’re going to the gym with a good exercise routine that’ll delay it greatly.

Not just that, companies are using “smart” devices as AI scraper botnets to utilize private, basically unbanable IPs. There are only very few companies who I might believe them not doing it (AllenAI and maybe Mistral - tell me if I’m proven wrong pls). But OpenAI, Anthropic, fucking Google and Meta, they all treat your network as their personal internet extension. It’s reasonable to assume any “Smart” device with wifi access that isn’t FOSS most likely being your enemy.

Our family Nextcloud already got taken down by OpenAI swarming it… overloaded and crashed php-fpm within a minute. At least one client blasting all endpoints still advertised themselves as OpenAI crawler.

Why does this remind me of the common argument made against democracy and for e.g. China… “it moves fast, less resistance, faster results”…

And yet it’s still worse.

The whole argument doesn’t hold up either. Your company - or the people behind it, if it’s new - just can’t be known as the usual profit-driven asshole. I mean, look at how the relations between the Community and Valve is. Nobody would argue Valve being perfect, but they’re known not to be the usual assholes and thereby cautiously welcome.

If you or your company can’t deal with society being vigilant (especially in capitalism) then they’ve no place in said society. This vigilance is the only reason Linux still feels made for the user(advanced ones, but still). Fuck anyone who wants to destroy that with means of accelerationism and alike.

DHH and Omarchy are just cultural cancer. What you correctly described is basically one aspect of how unfettered capitalism manipulates people and destroys healthy communities for the sake of growth.

Why is there are bloody GPU generating garbage in my human space. :<

Additionally he helps with drawing tablets on Linux, read an article recently where he spoke about issues coming from how the driver situation currently is.

And the previous commenter mentioned ownCloud, I just wanted to point out that feature isn’t unique to that. I wasn’t talking to OP.

For example, it has file versioning, and companion apps on major OSs that help with managing local and cloud stored files.

Nextcloud also got both.

This post has no business being here.

I’m advocating for changing the system.

Then aim better and stop taking cheap shots at devs. Those with a backbone get systematically shamed and cut, the same way “annoying voices” from engineers in countries with a corrupt construction business / politics get dealt with. In IT however the damages are way more abstract while a collapsed airport roof is something tangible people immediately understand just by looking at it. And as mentioned, in comparison it’s an extremely young profession lacking prior collective knowledge or bad examples. Do I even need to mention that the biggest software companies and ad companies are either the exact same company or part of the same structures (not to mention they’re tight with one of the biggest governments who outright alienates former allies), so any alternatives can be systematically fucked over?

And there are Software Engineers who really try, sometimes in places like the EU where a real chance for change exists. But the ad industry and mega corps with an army of lobbyists are still fighting back, and you’re not helping by attacking devs for supposedly not having backbones.

You’re taking shots at those trying to deal with this shit show while staying financially afloat, then pretending you’re actually on their side to immediately play the victim. You can’t be damn serious.

Don’t blame the dev for what the system lacks. We took millenia to get here for buildings and had rich people and politicians literally falling through floors drowning in shit before. Software is relatively new and gets extorted for maximum profit while slow-moving projects that try to do everything right get shamed (and usually extorted since doing it right entails Open-Source, which now gets laundered through probability engines). There are effectively no guardrails devs can use to protect something from bad ideas management has, and management is on an AI-induced power trip right now.

In such an environment actual buildings would also be made out of paper and have surveillance cams in the subscription-based toilet. I’d bet someone from a country with a corrupt system and lack of regulation enforcement could tell you tales about it. I think you were just lucky.

Ooooh.

Now I finally understand where those hotels with glass doors and walls for the toilet are coming from recently!

According to the Hellsing Ultimate ruleset they can if they smash into a boat with a Blackbird first. That’s the ruleset I’ll go off of.
