But but … These are effective altruists who due to their great technology will better theblifes of billions and trillions of people who are not even born yet, or so they say.

Catastrophes don’t need to kill everyone to still be considered catastrophic. D’uh. Remarkable insights.

Air conditioning alone will not hold off the water from the coast metropolis, where something like 50% of the world population will have to relocate.

Indeed I see there’s a difference. AI is much more than just the tech Bros version of it. If transferred to social media, the outrage would want to abolish not only Instagram and TicToc, but also the fediverse.

I don’t see that

All the outrage about AI around here is the outrage that should have been targeted towards social media in the past 10 years. The corporations that want to control societies communication while injecting their nefarious plots are already doing so.

Very few critics hit the point, which is the tech Bros utopia is to make us all superfluous as workers. That is the story we should challenge, and not lazily repeat criticism that doesn’t reflect the real world.

Not to dishearten you, but this comment is screaming survivorship bias.

Pretty sure that’s due to masturbation. Its Victorianian morals that make it necessary to blame superfood for it.

Wasn’t that experiment done on Mars, out of necessity, in a book?

Pi Coding Agent on the laptop, openwebui as a self hosted service.

I don’t host LLMs myself. My best hardware has 16GB of RAM, I could run a 4B model or so, but what’s the point? So I buy compute with ZDR turned on.

Why is the EFF is concerned with tax laws? The traditional slippery slope is to use concerns about child safety and extend it to places where child safety is hardly a topic.

You should have cited instead the Online Safety Act 2023 which does not even use the term social media platform. Instead it uses user to user service, which is even broader.

But it also brings across the point better, and it aligns with science that tells us where childrens safety is a concern.

maybe, before you rant against governments addressing a problem that is reported from medical professionals, first take a position around the real problems that these social media platforms bring. You are certainly not on Lemmy because you are happy how Instagram and Reddit function. Are you only concerned about moderation at all, and not so much about the content they promote? For me it’s primarily the latter. In my eyes moderation is a necessary feature, and I think the only places that are even more toxic than the corporation controlled platforms are places without any moderation.

I know what social media is. You are painting a strawman of how the laws might get abused with further law which nobody is suggesting, aside from fear mongerers like you. And while focusing on that straw man you completely ignore the very real problems that social media brought into the world.

Nevertheless, even if you were right, the internet is still much larger.

They have a flag Zero Data Retention that cones with the promise that after a call no data is kept on any servers. I’m using that.

It’s contract level trust; I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but overall it’s a compromise I’m willing to make.

As if social media == internet.

I run the AI service (OpenwebUi) myself, but buy the compute on OpenRouter. Self hosting models is not an economic viability for me.

I grew up in the same mindset as you describe.

But this reality never manifested. Instead the perceived anonymity of the social media sites, combined with the algorithm, tears our societies apart.

I don’t think that the fediverse has enough reach for such a system to make sense, but Met, Google and Tiktok certainly should use it.

I applaud your critical thinking, but you are asking inside a bubble that knows answers before it asks questions. I doubt such an idea can at this time in history be implemented in a grassroots way.

You didn’t read the piat before getting on your rage.

Can I get API access then?

For how to use bash, you can easily resort to local models with LMStudio. No internet search needed.
