Nope, nothing useful. Right now I am playing with making some skills to do some rudimentary network testing. I figure it’s always nice to have a remote system to ping or nslookup or check a website from a remote location. I have it hooked to a telegram bot (burner account and restricted to just me) and I can ask it to ping or get me a screenshot or speedtest, etc. from anything it can reach on the internet.

Only purpose right now is to have something to show off :).

lol, straight from the redundant department of redundancies.

I do words good.

I am playing with it, sandboxed in an isolated environment, only interacting with a local LLM and only connected to one public service with a burner account. I haven’t even given it any personal info, not even my name.

It’s super fascinating and fun, but holy shit the danger is outrageous. Multiple occasions, it’s misunderstood what I’ve asked and it will fuck around with its own config files and such. I’ve asked it to do something and the result was essentially suicide as it ate its own settings. I’ve only been running it for like a week but have had to wipe and rebuild twice already (probably could have fixed it, but that’s what a sandbox is for). I can’t imagine setting it loose on anything important right now.

But it is undeniably cool, and watching the system communicate with the LLM model has been a huge learning opportunity.

I’m know kids these days who are preferring a dumb phone, now physical media is making a comeback.

Has our surveillance economy finally backfired enough that people are starting to reclaim ownership? God I hope so.

I have. I’m working on consolidating and figuring out a plan. I’m admittedly less astute financially than I should. Didn’t really expect all this shit to happen.

She’s antivax, especially when it comes to the mRNA vaccines, she claims they are a government experiment that we were forced to undergo. She conveniently ignores that the phizer was available and you weren’t mandated unless you wanted access to public services.

They would lose me, if I had an alternative. In my neighborhood it’s cable or 1mbps DSL. Neighborhoods across the street to the east and west both have nice and cheap fiber but my neighborhood is older than one and less affluent than the other.

He said the platitudes that needed to be said. Did you watch his remarks? He said a lot without words too.

He’s in a terrible situation. A madman is terrorizing his state, doing everything possible to incite an incident. Walz does not want to have a civil war start in his state. Now, many may disagree with preventing such an incident, and I can understand that, but I also understand the shit sandwich he’s being forced to eat.

I’m angry at the perpetrators not the victims.

I’m late 40’s right now, always assumed social security was a pipe dream so I’ve diligently put away money in 401ks and IRA’s. I no longer believe they will be worth anything much longer.

Was a nice country, for a little while, at least that’s what my parent’s generation tells me, I’ve never been here for it.

The his really is the epstein administration, isn’t it.

I have someone like that in my life. To this day they think masking and “forced gene modifications” are a bigger deal than what happening now. I’ve been lectured so many times about how anger at what’s going on is just being political.

The resulting power vacuum would result in something far worse. Our best chance is to revive this dead democracy and fix the shit that allowed this to happen.

I don’t think that’s possible though with this electorate.

Pretty sure they already have been. I’m convinced more money makes you more stupid.

Right, it’s not just capitalism, many systems reward such behavior. But we are in a capitalist society now, that does not work for those reasons. Yes, bad laws and regulations are the problem, but they are there because the unscrupulous set them in favor of themselves.

I’m no fan any ism, they are frameworks that all need careful, strong laws and regulations. Don’t get me wrong, some are better starting points but it takes diligence and an engaged populace to keep them working.

The problem is, normal people got complacent while the malignant ones continued to ruthlessly play the game.

Whatever libtard, they both posses a Nobel peace prize.

Why doesn’t anyone see this for what it is. They put monitoring for certain keywords but fucked up the code and it blocked some users through incompetence. They fixed the filters, but I guarantee they are sending reports to the White House…

What got us here is a complicated but simple story. Those without morals have no problem cheating the system and using other people. Capitalism rewards this behavior so it as inevitable that the unscrupulous will continue to vacuum up the money and power. We are experiencing the end game of this social construct.

The rich are the problem, something needs to be done about them. I’m hungry.

Edit- ugh, embarrassing misspelling left up too long.

Honestly, I hope you are right. At the moment though, I have very little faith in the American electorate.

People want concrete policy, economic fixes, and the end of culture war shit.

This is your conclusion after the fucking country elected that fucker? No, Americans don’t give a shit about any of that. People on Lemmy want that.

Americans want shit flinging, grudge based, reality show style fights. I don’t know that Kelly is enough of an asshole to be honest.
