  • AI helps fly planes when pilots lose consciousness.

    AI helps surgeons perform microscopic surgery through robotic tools.

    AI performs large algorithmic and logistically complex tasks based on a specific set of requirements to a detailed task.

    These aren’t new concepts. These are technologies that have existed for the last 30-40 years.

    Our definition of “AI” today has been muddled due to marketing manipulation.

    LLMs are not AI. LLMs have existed for the last 20-30 years. I played with one in 2000. it was a sex chat bot. it literally did exactly the same things current LLMs do today except it emulates speech patterns better.

    AGI is just another marketing word. Ignore it, it doesn’t exist.


  • I suck at creating things

    how can I steal ideas in the most complicated way and make them seem like I did them?

    your comparison of AI to calculators is simple and wrong. your perception of your grandfathers position on calculators is also wrong.

    in studies it was found that students that had access to calculators performed worse on tests that banned their use. so yes, calculators made people more error prone and less likely to successfully calculate for themselves. the reason for this being far more related to AI than you probably imagine.

    the human brain learns through patterns and long term repetitions. it’s similar to how machine learning happens. multiple failures compound together to form a coherent strategy and skill. AI(LLM)'s are trained in the same way.

    so, in essence, by using an AI to generate based off of stolen content it’s similar to using a calculator for your brain. you’re robbing yourself of the opportunity to grow and expand your horizons as a creator, and you’re supporting a system of theft that only diminishes the hard work and efforts of those it stole from.


  • this is going to sound like gatekeeping, because it is.

    yunohost allows anyone that couldn’t find the difference between /dev/null and their asshole the ability to deploy services on hardware. be it locally or remote VPC.

    everything about that goes against the tenants that created the selfhost movement.

    it also causes problems when those same ignorant “hosters” reach out to the community for help and again, can’t comprehend the technical nature of the issue at hand. they are akin to a plant that requires too much water and too much sun in the garden, and I generally pluck them out and toss them into the mulch pile.

    that said, I’m sure there’s plenty of people who use yuno that have a technical background but lack the time/effort to DIY. my issue isn’t with them.











  • They don’t see themselves as a cult.

    people in cults never do.

    You calling them a cult just allows them to ignore everything else you have to say.

    people in cults usually do.

    You have to meet them with their own doublespeak if you want to break the cultish brainwashing, and force them to question themselves.

    no I don’t. breaking programming requires one of two things. force or logic. logic won’t work with this cult, and force is unscalable without collaterall damage.

    Antagonistic conversion will only entrench their beliefs.

    correct, which is why you shouldn’t ever try to “double speak” them.

    The way you have to deradicalize them is to earnestly question things until they can no longer deny the hypocrisy and doublethink/ doublespeak.

    as I said, logic won’t work with this cult.

    I’m not even going to finish reading your comment because you clearly have a lack of experience or understanding of how programming and cults work. this is especially true since many of the members of this cult have had their programming fortified over the last 20 years. put simply, they are entrenched and the only thing that may work is a shock to their system. even that though, is unlikely to work.
