Piefuckers

This is about as useful as the assholes going “It’s not Pedophilia, it’s Hebephilia!”.

I just started working at a new place, and my closest coworker has my deadname. Threw me for like half a second, but hasn’t been an issue at all otherwise.

Right? These companies act like they are selling food and we are stealing it.

In reality, they put a big “free beer” sign up, we go and happily accept the beer, and then they act outraged that we refuse when they try to piss in the mug after handing it to us.

Yeah. I don’t have a contract with the site, agreeing to pay them in any way, shape or form. They voluntarily show me their content, but that does not obligate me to also accept their ads.

• LLMs are a complete dead end when it comes to actual intelligence, understanding, or sentience
• constant fearmongering from decades of media makes you afraid of sentient AI. I think it’s important to recognize that. I’m willing to bet that if people would have grown up with, say, Iain Banks’ Culture instead of Terminator, the idea of sentient AI would be exciting. (Not a value judgement, just pointing it out.)

Again for Germany, it’s handled by a single provider, and they absolutely do utilize CoCo tech. (Source: I work at one of the involved companies, sorry, not going to be more specific)

In the case of Germany: confidential computing tech ensures all data is encrypted in storage and in memory, shielded even against data center employees / hosting providers. I imagine that’s become the standard for most countries.

IDK man. AfD are the ones raging against “political correctness” here. Dude decided to not be politically correct and label the Nazis Nazis.

When we need to know each others location, we share it via element / matrix. Our own server, so no third party.

Happens maybe four times a year.

(Also, do you just always have location services enabled?? IMO it’s a battery drain, I pretty much only enable it for this and while I need to navigate)

Can’t believe noone mentioned this yet:

Any good password manager encrypts and decrypts your password file client side. The server should not even have the ability to read your passwords.

Even in the case of a leak of all of the server’s data, as long as your password for the manager was good, you’ve got nothing to worry about.

I’d say pick a PW manager where both client and server are open source. Pick a strong passphrase. Enjoy.

Lol. Living alone does not make you lonely.

Honestly, I’m gappy for my fellow Germans that so many are able to live by themselves! It’s a good sign that fewer people need to share rent.

It’s a goddamn stochastic parrot, starting from zero on each invocation and spitting out something passing for coherence according to its training set.

“Not understanding what is happening” in regards to AI is NOT “we don’t jniw how it works mechanically” it’s “yeah there are so many parameters, it’s just not possible to make sense of / keep track of them all”.

There’s no awareness or thought.

Now THAT is something I wouldn’t ever trust.

Which is not true, hence my comment.

That’s a good faith interpretation, but I’ve never seen a comment like this that isn’t whining “but what about men”.

The comment is saying: “oh, so we are pointing out that sending people to places like these is bad when it’s happening to women, but not when it’s happening to men”, which is whataboutism, derailment, and a misreading of the article.

Said who, besides you?

No, sending men there is not OK; but yes, sending pregnant people and children there is indeed even worse than sending men and women in good health there.

Glad to have cleared that up for you! As soon as you’ve worked on your reading comprehension, I recommend looking up the term “straw-man argument”.

Either your argument is that morality is somehow “god given” through religion, in which case I have to ask, which god? Which religion? There’s a lot of those around or no longer around, with different nuances of morality, contradicting that idea.

Or each civilization developed religion and incorporated their respectove ideas about morality, but then morality necessarily precedes religiosity.

Either way, doesn’t make sense.

Besides, the idea that a fear of god is necessary to make people “moral” is ridiculous. If you would commit immoral atrocities if you didn’t believe in god, then I’m sorry, that makes you a bad person; but don’t project that unto other people.

Empathy is sufficient for morality, while god, arguably, is an amoral monster.

Cheers, a moral atheist

Context?

Matrix fits the bill.

Unless you don’t like the federated nature.
