@PaulJosephWatson Jesus Christ! The UK is going crazy! Very sad. =(

@remixtures A beautiful case of my enemys enemy. It is very exciting to follow how china intends to crush the US AI behemoths with open weight models.

What is also interesting to ponder is if there are hidden security holes in china open weight models.

If there are, I guess sooner or later, we'll find out.

@lain Go for loose leaf tea! That way you avoid the micro plastics in most teabags.

@Dan_Ramos @DrChris If you are eating, please shut off the camera. It is not so interesting to sit and watch another persons zoomed in face when they are stuffing themselves with food.

Someone having a sip of coffee on camera I have less of a problem with.

@berkesch No! Voting is way too important for ID-checks.

Only online surveillance and censorship require it.

@reclaimthenet Will it force it on mastodon? Or are we only talking the mainstream corporations?

@remixtures This is good! Unions are very bad and unethical organizations and should not exist. We must work together to smash them to pieces, so that we can get back to work and make the world a better place through capitalism!

@troed I find that it saves me about 20%-30% when I vibe code together student assignments for my students.

The annoying thing, which by now is of course not news, is that it misses things and it misses test cases and certain errors. So I have to read and understand it and I can most definitely not trust it.

But yes, in total, probably 20%-30% time savings.

"I don't know what everyone else is seeing. I'm hearing they are very good for certain functions. Are you going to have them write all your production code? No. Are they great for prototyping? Yes. Can they help an experienced coder do more with less? Yes. It's a mixed bag. Are they going to replace all medical professionals with medical advice? No."

@Gina @rikviergever @murena Call Fairphone and ask them to get Ubuntu touch to work on their phone asap. It is sad that it only works on fairphone 5 at the moment. =(

📣 More Dutch companies are making their Android apps inaccessible on alternative mobile devices, by using the strictest Google Play Integrity API settings. 📣

After Funda and Rabobank, now a public collective for emergency controlrooms has made their app inactive on open source OS's. Caught by @rikviergever from @murena .

We can't keep being dependent on two US big tech companies. If we want more digital sovereignty, we'll need to invest in mobile alternatives.

@DwarvenAllFather free markets (and no, we do not have free markets anywhere in the planet), subjective values we decide for ourselves, and that science is the best way to explore empirical reality. They would know there are biological differences between men and women, and that it is a bad idea to commit self-genocide by unrestricted immigration by moslems.

@DwarvenAllFather Claiming it does puts the burden of proof on those who do. They need to show "meaning particles" or exactly where in the empirical world this meaning supposedly resides. This is impossible. Starting with science and empiricism, and proceeding logically, you will end up with no objective value.

I think the reason why mentally ill people end up with feminism and other woke ideas, is because they are ill and also not skilled at thinking.

If they were, they would end up with

@shortstories to let it "live". If it _did_ convince you not to turn off the machine, then it could be argued that it is significantly closer to having some kind of will and life instinct.

@shortstories Current AI has no will, no volition. That means that every naughty thing it does, is something it has been instructed to do by a human being.

You can test this yourself. Go to chatgpt, and do not enter anything in the chat box. After a while, the inactivity gets boring. This is proof that there is no consciousness there.

Another proof... start a local LLM and tell it that you will turn off the computer it runs on. It will either not react, or it will not be able to convince you
