@EriogonumDarwin@mastodon.social @alice@lgbtqia.space @riverpunk@defcon.social @acb@mastodon.social @webhat@infosec.exchange @EdCates@mastodon.social I am trying to not use stores like that anymore. We are buying everything we can from a market because of exactly that reason.

@EriogonumDarwin@mastodon.social @alice@lgbtqia.space @riverpunk@defcon.social @acb@mastodon.social @webhat@infosec.exchange @EdCates@mastodon.social and by exactly that reason I mean a whole host of reasons like chronic underpaying their workers undermining their right to unionize lobbying the government in all sorts of negative ways etc etc but i felt like in this circle here this goes without saying amiright?

@foolishowl@social.coop @miss_rodent@girlcock.club @xgranade@wandering.shop i mean listen. At the very least those tools work. I am absolutely baffled how the absolute dumpsterfire that is MS teams is still beeing used anywhere. I am actually curious what the pressures are that drive companies (and institutions) to use tools like that.

@wortezimmer@ruhr.social @kkarhan@c.im @codepo8@toot.cafe second that. Clearly a white rich straight dude. In my experienced you either bend over backwards and quietly do what you are told or you get replaced. Contract is one thing and reality is another.

@aral informative and unfortunate Thank you

@leo aren't traditional capchas kind of a solved problem in machine learning?

@jokeyrhyme @davidgerard @frog_reborn @zkat ok fair those are all real issues I must admit. But I can not think of any industry that doesn't have the same or similar issues. I do not see anyone arguing for boycoting doctors. Imho you guys in america need to stop messing around prevent billionaires from fucking everyone. No amount of boycotting openai is gonna do that. They do not care anymore, they'll get your money anyways through government subsidies or military contracts.

@zkat @jokeyrhyme I understand that this is a difficult time but this argument is kind of a strawman. I use llms on a daily basis and in my option asking thaura to estimate how long my todo items should take is not destroying art nor replacing jobs. The second I have the option to vote for someone who'll regulate big tech companies and improve the labor situation in my country I'll gladly take it.

@dunderklumpen80@mastodon.social ah. Right in the feels. Now I feel old and full of nostalgia

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu the parent company makes 100 billions per year. This is a subscription fee at best. If you have a subscription to EU prime you can do whatever you want I guess.

@kkarhan @SeanPLynch @Em0nM4stodon it feels like we crossed the "how is this legal" threshold a while ago.

@foolishowl@social.coop @miss_rodent@girlcock.club @xgranade@wandering.shop "Instead I've seen them outsource more and more of their organizational infrastructure." Do you happen to know why? What is the reasoning behind using expensive services?

@Hex@kolektiva.social i like the way you think

@alice@lgbtqia.space oh. So "they are the goat"? Sorry this is still difficult for me. @xjasminelu@hci.social please disregard my lack of skills and understanding. This is not representative of the community.

@savannah@fosstodon.org congrats

@vale@fedi.vale.rocks I am curious tho what exactly is being mishandled? What usecases make things worse? Like I have some ideas but I am a ablebodied privileged white guy so what do I know.

@vikxin @xerz @emenel i fell for the hype for a bit and i mean it was nice until i managed to softbrick my device because some program decided to fill up my whole disk with redundant backups and somehow break the luks partition in the process. I am back to fedora atomic now.

@Papaexmatrikulatus no. Dude seriously nothing to apologize for. I know it sounds dumb but it is what it is. And yes my SO is usually who helps me with planning tasks and she is amazing. What a patient person I swear to god 🤣 I love that woman

@jokeyrhyme @davidgerard @frog_reborn @zkat regarding the access to computers. We already have manufactured SO MUCH electronics we don't need more in my opinion. If you even noticed a price hike in ram you are probably buying too much shit and frankly part of the problem of ewaste and contributing to all the fun stuff you described.

@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social I am confused. How would japanese animated gay media influence code quality?

@noboilerplate I want to migrate to source hut

@Null03 @chatcontrol @echo_pbreyer @Watchdog_Polska Czy wiadomo czy politycy co sobie te bzdury wymyślają dostają regularnie w łapę? 😁💃

@dangoodin@infosec.exchange second that. Sharing for visibility

@Papaexmatrikulatus @zkat @jokeyrhyme and I am not really defending llms. I simply believe that my personal use won't change anything. Its the carbon footprint astroturfed movement all over again. I believe the companies who do all this shit need to be held accountable and that everything else is a distraction. I believe anything that fragments society exactly like in the original post is the wrong direction. We need to get the metaphorical guillotines out and make the people in charge pay

@tragivictoria @Null03 @chatcontrol @echo_pbreyer @Watchdog_Polska perhaps but why not send a messate to OLAF about Peter Hummelgaard. Right?

@Hex@kolektiva.social I mean I am all in favor of people learning and all in favor of fucking the glowies but I just don't see it. I think its easier to convince a group of people to host a key exchange party rather than learning practicing and maintaining a fictional language. But what do I know I have 0 skills at activism and organizing people

@wolfgang@gotosocial.whammes.dynv6.net @hart@norden.social Wo waren atom Kraftwerke die letzten 20 jahre? Also woher haben wir bisher energie bekommen? Verstehe ich zaś richtig? Öl, gas und kohle.

@Walrus@toot.wales @Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy well to be completely fair DB is doing a pretty good job at scaring people away too

@hart@norden.social woher bekommen wir strom anstatt von atom?

@gabriel_g_jaime@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu uuu like a official version of Linux maintained in Europe? That would be cool.

@jokeyrhyme @davidgerard @frog_reborn @zkat oh and last but not least "doing so by choice" You must be delusional if you still think that governments, militaries, and especially big companies will stop using llms. A bigger client of mine had this one guy running around the office practically whipping people into using chatgpt for their work because they wanted to show to their shareholders that they are modern. We are so beyond the point where this is optional. Have been for a while.

@Papaexmatrikulatus @zkat @jokeyrhyme exactly! Organize in my opinion is exactly the right key word. If you are in Europe its easy to get involved I've recently started finding out how that works and started emailing and even calling politicians about chat control and the way I understand this they actively want our opinion: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/consultations/have-your-say-future-cloud-and-ai-policies-eu If you are American however, god help you I guess. I see no other way out than the guillotines. Take a page from the french. 🥖

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy this made me think Anyone aware of petitions or organizations that fight to stop the kerosine subsidies?

@Hex@kolektiva.social i speak 4 languages and learning a 5th and i don't feel any less surveiled. I don't think that's true. Especially since the advent of llms. The state aparatus is already getting ready for mass surveilance. See chatcontrol the age verification shenanigens etc

@Papaexmatrikulatus @zkat @jokeyrhyme no. that's a fair question and I must admit it sounds dumb. And you are not being rude at all. So I have really bad ADHD and pretty bad time blindness so i overplan the number of tasks and then fail to do everything. And then I just sit there until 4 am in the morning crunching. Its part of a bigger systems that has sanity checks baked in. I ask real humans for that whenever I can but sometimes I can't.

@jokeyrhyme @davidgerard @frog_reborn @zkat regarding csam. How do you not see that this is yet another example of the ruling class being able to do whatever they want. Musk allows Grok to just do whatever because he is legally immune. Boycotting e.g. openai will not stop musk from getting more money (your money from the government) to make his next gen CP bot.

@aral wait why fascist. What did the omarchy guys do?

@miss_rodent@girlcock.club @tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org @foolishowl@social.coop @xgranade@wandering.shop I wish that was a option here in poland. A lot of code is written here but there is no way for normal people to unionize because of lack of support from the government. I am absolutely useless legal wise tho @panoptykon@eupolicy.social can you guys confirm? Any ways software devs can unionize or something in poland?

@joho@mastodon.online @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu wait. Plane travel is subsidized in Europe?

@Hex@kolektiva.social i am currently being whored out by my company to banks to parse their documents and extract specific parameters from it and analize text in all sorts of languages and we are hovering at a 98% accuracy and that's just because we are beeing forced to use openai models for "privacy" or whatever. Sonnet 4.6 doesn't make any errors that I could find I am a single guy with a 10 year old laptop and an API key. Fuck knows what Palantir can do nowadays.

@b0rk if you find out please le me know too. Boosting for visibility

@miss_rodent@girlcock.club @tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org @foolishowl@social.coop @xgranade@wandering.shop @panoptykon@eupolicy.social you are right I need to stop beeing a pussy and start to organize people until I find someone who is better at it than I am.

@Papaexmatrikulatus but if you are curious about ADHD and you wanna understand Connor dewolfe is amazing at explaining it. I for sure am not eloquent enough to explain. I just end up with a lot of super odd solutions like having dedicated work shoes when I work at home rubber bands on my hot glue gun and soldering iron and last but not least: egg timers for absolutely everything.

@IbenChristiane@helvede.net @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu was DB involved? 🤣

@realtegan@wandering.shop at this point I don't even wanna know anymore what trump pulled this time but I've been saying for weeks now that you need to take a page from the french. Specifically a guillotine related page. For the first time the conservatists see their error and you guys need to organize and take power back by force and clean up the swamp from all the corruption. I feel like the wind is right just about now.

@vikxin @xerz @emenel really? In my circles everyone started talking about it and 3 people I know switched to omarchy.

@mastodonmigration @metin just curious. Did you read the actual paper before you came here to argue about it?
