It’s more or less two little screens behind fresnel lenses attached to an IMU. It’s really cool, but no golf balls or anything like that. He seems to only use it for a racing rig.

They’re probably not super fond of the idea of AI not being allowed to be deployed to manipulate people.

As if taking all of 4-chan, scrambling it around a little, and pouring the contents out would lead to a cure for cancer. lmao

Yeah, no doubt. My mother got radicalised by Facebook over the years. It went from cute dog and cat things to “harmless” conspiracy theories (think bigfoot), culminating in fucking her with QAnon propaganda indoctrination. Last I checked up on her, there’s machine generated rubbish all over her feed. She’s beyond saving at this point. Suppose she was always primed for this kind of thing, being pro-homeopathy anti-vaccine person.

She doesn’t question the machine generated content at all, and I saw that if someone points it out, which a scarce few have done, she just justifies it with “well it could be real, this kind of thing does happen.”

At this point I don’t think it matters if this technofascism was a knowing plan, or an unfortunate series of events that by themselves seemed justifiable to the people making the decisions, but it doesn’t really matter. We’re here now. They’re not only trying, but succeeding in coercing governments and undermining democracy.

Cool being able to SSH into my phone though

I thought you could do that on Android?

Musk is gassing Memphis with the generators for his Grok. So it’s not just sitting there.

They also create noise pollution, which is a problem in various places. And then there’s this.

Absolutely. It’s the same untrustworthy substanceless nonsense.

Okay, but why? LLMs always give a response, they’re trained to give a response regardless of accuracy. This entire wall of text could be completely made up.

I miss the days when machine learning was fun. Poking together useless RNN models with a small dataset to make a digital Trump that talked about banging his daughter, end endless nipples flowing into America. Exploring the latent space between concepts.

Le$bean. It’s lesbian.

There is a video essay on the holocaust, that doesn’t use the word holocaust. It’s not even some bonkers right-wing propaganda.

We haven’t been able to talk frankly on YouTube for well over a decade at this point. It’s just crept from specific niches to just general bullshit.

If I talk about the time I got raped, I’d sooner choke Sundar Pichai than refer to it as the time I got “graped” or even “SA’d.” I recall Stephanie Sterling talking about it in their last video, about how we now live in a reality where you cannot make a video essay on the holocaust using the fucking word holocaust!

The infantilisation of the English language to appease algorithms and corporate interests infuriates me. I can agree to watch my tone and moderate my language as to not hurt people around me, but fuck if I’m going to do so just to help fill come cuntbag’s bloated fucking coin purse.

As an aside; I don’t think sewer slide is common, and rather “unalive oneself” tends to be the more common phrase, but I heard it once.

Honestly, you shouldn’t talk to children using words like sewer slide, ledollarbean, or unalive. I fucking hate this algospeech. It drives me to violence.

Nice tip! Thank you!

People keep saying this but I don’t understand how it works at all.

But the app/widget spyware is what they want you to run.

Oh my goose! I love them! 💖

I’ve had it going for months now. Navidrome is very reliable and with docker, super easy to update should you so please.

The rolling cost is my internet, which I’d have whether I’d have Navidrome or not.

Another tip; Orion, the browser developed by Kagi can install proper Firefox extensions. You can have the real full uBlock Origin extension in the browser.

Edit: I believe it can handle Chromium extensions as well but who cares about those?

Nope. Haven’t gotten the installer to run. Tried copying over the already installed software too, no dice.
