The hot new diet trend, poverty.

In 2000 the whole data hording apparatus hadn’t been fully implemented yet, and AI surveillance was something more so seen as science fiction, nothing to worry about until possibly 2100. Sure there was some data collection but it wasn’t like billions of people were walking around with surveillance tech in their pocket 24/7. Things have changed and drastically. Methods to monitor, model, predict, and control human behavior are now a thing and quite robust. If only people were aware of what’s happening there would be a mass migration to secure hardware, OS’s, comms, and of course not a single cloud based always on assistant in sight. IOT devices are cool when they are secure but they often get the least attention, few if any security updates. If you can get rid of robot vacuumes, smart home assistants, smart TVs, smart thermostats, switch to secure FOSS OS’s on your computer and phone.

You can point a laser at someone’s window and accurately record their keystrokes from the sound vibrations. Things go deep in the surveillance and intelligence world. Nothing is truly and absolutely secure, just more difficult to crack.

Sometimes there’s a final spice level called “Indian hot”

Perfect, all I need now it to set up a boombox in transit to remove all of my political opponents

Depends where you are. In Japan it seems to also be the train or the bus.

I’ve always wanted to see gimp on the same level of blender.

What would justify using them? For many I talk to they have an irrational hatred because of how some people and companies have used them so now it’s like a prejudice. That is not matter what they dislike neural networks

Analogies don’t have to be one to one. I originally got this analogy from Linus Torvalds

Here’s another

If I’m a moron then so is Linus Torvalds since I literally stole the analogy from him. Generally speaking though these are all just algorithms and the issues people have aren’t about this particular algorithm but the ways in which some people or companies are using the algorithm. It’s a bit like saying you hate the internet because some people use the internet to do very harmful things.

Here’s another

I got the comparison from Linus Torvalds talk but yes and depending on the compiler and it’s use the output might not be so deterministic. More accurate to the point I’m actually making is is that these are all algorithms and the issues people have with AI isn’t anything about the algorithms or the technology itself but the ways in which some people and companies are using it. May as well say you hate the internet because some people and some companies are using it to do very harmful things.

Here’s another

If I’m an idiot then so is Linus Torvalds the creator or the Linux kernel.

Here’s another

I mean may as well say you’re mad at the internet because people use it for nefarious purposes as well. This is usually what I find about all these debates around AI and LLMs or NNs. It’s more so people being legitimately upset at actions taken by some individuals or companies more so than any hatred for the technology itself but they conflate the two effortlessly. Like we’re aware of how strange it sounds in different cases when that’s done but for some reason with AI most don’t see this issue in their argument.

I mean it does allow people to claim code they didn’t necessarily write is there’s. It seems that your issues aren’t to do with LLMs fundamentally but specific use cases some individuals have chosen. Like you don’t fundamentally have an issue with the algorithm itself.

I have a feeling you didn’t understand the question I was asking. Ilms are just one type of algorithm and data structure. There’s other algorithms nearly all programers use to compile symbolic code Into assembly or machine code (binary), they’re called compilers. Anyone who isn’t writing assembly or machine code directly is likely using a compiler.

Do you feel that way about the other algorithms you do use? Nearly all code we do use was compiled and the compiler makes it’s own decisions on how to convert abstract code into assembly or binary. Do you have anything against machines making decisions on that conversion?

It’s a Japanese fence not held together by nails or glue.

No

It could be a lot better and there’s some backsliding but it is indeed better than other places. Where I live most of the year homosexuality is illegal and people are regularly killed for it with zero recourse. Similarly any statements against the government are met with a similar outcome. Even before the last protest could organize people were killed in their homes. Now as for the US in some ways it’s a lot better than its ever been and in others it’s worse. It’s usually like that anywhere. I wish reality was as simplistic as your comment is hinting at. I will say everywhere I’ve been on this earth there are good, kind, compassionate, and loving people doing their part to make the world a better place.

Good shit, you get the game. It’s all about numbers good bad or ugly. Hate for the idea and the actions, a way out for those looking to change and join the ranks of the opposition.

I’m more into stoicism personally than religious practices although I can appreciate the better aspects of most faiths. Not so much the unquestionable belief aspect.

Have you ever changed or helped someone change? In my experience there’s ignorance, they don’t really know or see and then they become aware in the same way someone who doesn’t want to do those things is aware and they change.

I can dislike the actions someone has made and yet encourage their efforts to not make those actions again.
