If you talk like that no one is going to want to talk with you.

What the hell did you just write, accusing me of antisemitism?

It’s really hard to even understand what you are talking about, really.

The sacrifices? The slaughter? The jews? The nobility? Shilling? Pogroms? Roblox Minecraft and graphics cards? A supposedly academic level knowledge of LLM but calling them autocorrect?

I’m not going to follow this conversation. That’s just my decision right now.

Autocorrect what the fuck? Models inherently conservative, wtf?

You show a vast lack of knowledge. Probably your source of information is just propaganda.

I know it’s an easy fight to pick. A trending dogma which is easy to support. You don’t really need to think, you just got pointed an easy enemy that’s easy to identify, and that’s easy to just be against and you follow that.

But the true enemy is not there.

Your heart is probably in the good place. But if you waste your strength fighting something useless is an incredible wasted of resources and spirit. You’ll achieve nothing, while the true enemy (which are human beings that doesn’t care about AI being a success or not) will keep laughing at you.

They have been oppressing you since before electricity. If you think AI is a tool needed for oppression you are deeply wrong.

Software have been implied in decision making for decades.

Anyway, the true responsible of a denial in a medical treatment has never been account responsible (except for our angel Luigi), no matter if AI has been used or not.

I don’t really know how it’s better a human denying you a kidney rather than a AI.

It’s not like it’s something that makes more or less kidneys available for transplant anyway.

Terrible example.

It would have been better to make an example out of some other treatment that does not depend on finite recourses but only in money. Still, a human is now rejecting your needed treatments without the need of an AI, but at least it would make some sense.

In the end, as always, people who has chosen the AI as the “enemy” have not understand anything about the current state of society and how things work. Another example of how picking the wrong fights is a path to failure.

There are plenty of paid products that do not respect your privacy and sell your data.

And there’s free products that do respect your privacy and don’t make you the product. They are community products.

For instance I offer my bandwidth and storage to thousands of strangers to share torrents and they do the same to me. No secondhand transactions happening.

That’s not tech. That’s company policies.

Streaming services, as a tech has evolved and it’s a better technology that it was before. New encoding formats allow for transfer of more data over less bandwidth for instance.

Online communications, as in forums as such, as also evolved with new and better ways of posting, and better security (I remember when websites just stored your password in plain text).

What people complain about are mostly company policies, not technology. Netflix charging more for less content, or Reddit banning third party apps are not tech. Those things are not developed. They are just a company decision.

And company decisions are as bad as always. People also got screw by companies in the 90s. People who just notice more now is because now they are older.

Not everyone wants to socially interact. That’s something to respect.

I tend to prioritize not-human services, as social interaction exhaust me.

When I used to work with customers I really didn’t like when people starting talking about unnecessary staff. The less I had to interact the better for me.

Times change. I see nothing wrong with it. Same as you used to be able to park without paying, then you started to pay, and now it’s moving from those machines to phone apps. And in the future there may be other form of pay, or maybe parking is directly forbidden o who knows what but there will be a change, for sure. Because things change.

It’s just nostalgia working. Things change. You were more capable of dealing with change at a younger age and that’s why you see the older the people get the more they complain about everything.

But is just a change, like many other that came before that.

Yep, I also been growing older and I have nostalgia for old times. But I’m well aware that grass is only greener on my memory, as it has always been.

I recently bought and immediately returned an 8bitdo controller. In this case the ultimate C2.

It was uncomfortable to the hands. It has a strange narrow shape, to us accustomed to Xbox controllers.

But the worst thing were the triggers. They had a massive dead zone that made it unplayable to any game requiring progressive input on the triggers. Like they wont start registering the input until 1/4 pressed, and there was no feedback on when they would start registering input. For racing games it was 100% impossible to play.

That was a quick return and a sad red X over the brand for me.

That thing loaded before I even click the link.

Those admins are unpaid?

Managing a store it’s a LOT of work. And you are doing to provide profit for other people. Who is going to do it for free?

It’s not like social media where people may volunteer to admin and mod, and users may donate because it’s a common goal of share information, opinions, knowledge, funny stuff etc.

Here we are talking about bussiness that do what they do because they want money. I would not volunteer to admin a store so shop owners could earn money, that’s for sure.

And I still not see the advantage of doing within the ActivityPub instead of just being a normal service where all interested shops could join.

In this example instances are stores, stores are users in instances? How stores are protected to be defederated by competitors (we are talking about money and making a living here).

What it adds to just a simple centralized service that any store can join. If you don’t want it to be another amazon, make that service a coop. or some kinds of non-profit that it’s paid by the stores that want to become part of that.

I think here we are in the classic conundrum of “a solution in search of a problem”.

Fediverse and ActivityPub is cool, but it’s a social media thing. And decentralization is cool when needed, for instance social media. But it doesn’t have to make sense for every use case.

For what’s being proposed there’s zero actual need for decentralization or ActivityPub.

I really don’t see the appeal of activity-pub for this.

It’s a protocol used for social media and interactions. You describe just sort of a “metastore”.

Maybe a review store site could work better with activity pub.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But you examples are bot cutting off the middle man.

The person with the small computer store is still a middle man.

And being smaller usually means that their cut needs to be bigger to maintain themselves.

I have hundreds of books in my kindle. But 0 on Amazon.

Good luck accessing my ebooks.

As the world become more and more noisy. And people become more a more shitty with regards of doing noise without care about how it affects others. ANC become a necessity for some people.

I used it a few days ago to translate a math formula into code.

Here is the formula: https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/126b6117904ad47459ad0caa791f296e69621782

It’s not the most complicated thing. I could have done it. But it would take me some time. I just input the formula directly, the desired language and the result was well done and worked flawlessly.

It saved me some time typing around. And searching online a few things.
