Is it really obvious if people don’t see it?

(There are a lot of people who don’t notice the yellow painted ledge)

Trueeeeee

As long as they make fun of you for having an MBTI phase, then all is well in love and peace

I can run many forms of technology on my own devices, that doesn’t stop them from being products.

No product is free, if you don’t pay anything, you are the product being sold.

You ‘pay’ these companies by providing them with training data for their LLMs / you are the thing they are trained on. You as a user provide an endless supply of metadata they can sell.

Just don’t use the slop bot, it’s literally as easy as that.

What noble purpose? Spreading democracy and freedom, fighting authoritarianism, plagiarism etc?

Yes, that noble purpose.

So my questions remain:

What democracy do you think you are spreading by using genAI?

What authoritarianism are you fighting by paying the fascists for access to their slop bot?

What plagiarism are you fighting by using the plagiarism bot?

It isn’t going to be collectively owned because it isn’t made for the collective to own, and locally hosting a version of it isn’t going to make it a tool of the masses.

It’s made to convince tech illiterate ceos and politicians to throw money at it until the techbros selling it can get their companies bailed out by the world governments that they convinced to put it into their mass surveillance and military systems.

Paint.net and GIMP are two prime examples of free image editing software that I’d suggest using instead, because even a poorly drawn image made with a mouse in 10 minutes holds more value (literally, in almost all cases) than anything a slopbot is told to generate.

What “collective” owns locally run llms and slop generators?

Who do you think you’re paying for access to the software?

What do you think that software was trained on?

Or are you just trying to justify your use of the slop machine by claiming you’re using it for some noble purpose?

“What are you worried about? I just use the plagiarism, propaganda, csam and deepfake machine created by technofascists to make political memes.”

youre all stuck in a big arena

Saying “you’re” like you’re not one of us, going off on one about being “designed”, then saying that the biological function that has kept your DNA alive since the beginning of organic life isn’t normal…

Is everything alright there pal?

I ask because these kinds of thoughts are the type that you should be sharing with a psychologist

To be fair the wifi on, bluetooth on, messenger, phone, linkedin and what im assuming is more linkedinalike notifications kinda cements the meme though

If you enjoyed lost then From might also be your jam

I remember watching 240p episodes of stargate season 6 because they could only fit so many on a DVDRW back then

I’ve heard good things about the books as well

Add in Person Of Interest and Utopia, then you’ve got yourself a deal

Human workers drag power cables all over construction sites. Why can’t a robot be built that’s smart enough to manage its own power cord? Power cord management seems simple compared to doing meaningful construction work.

I’m sure it seems simple from your desk

One thing: do you think that those power cables are permanently connected to the workers? Are you thinking about workers using extension cords for tools or the ones laying cable for the building, because it sure as fuck isn’t simple to do either, which is why battery and petrol powered tools exist, and why the cableways are planned well in advance.

The wear and tear is a legitimate concern, but fixed industrial robots have been operating for many decades.

Only with maintenance and servicing by a human trained to see every potential flaw and monitor the equipment long term. Nothing, not even the most expensive equipment you can imagine, is without the need for regular maintenance.

You could have trade-specific robots. A drywall robot, a plumber robot, an electrician bot, etc. Each equipped only with those tools needed to complete just that trade. And instead of mechanical hands, they could simply be mounted.

Do you think that a construction site works the same way as a factory building cars? Just one long conveyors that shits out a fully built house? Workers move up, down and across the building dozens of times a day in a job doing multiple different jobs within their field, problem solving on the fly.

So you got dumped by a nurse, huh.

Regulations, just like health and safety laws, are written in blood.

Some countries allow deregulation AHEM

How about instead of automating everything to use machines that require electricity, maintenance and resources that wreck the planet, we make it so people worldwide only need to work four days out of the week at most while still being able to afford hobbies, holidays, and luxury items such as food that isnt poison.

The subject matter is less important than the fact it’s beaming light into your eyes <1m away.

Even if you’ve got it on low blue light mode you’re still putting your brain through the kind of thing that was used as psychological torture by shady agencies since the 60s - keeping your brain active and exhausting yourself into unconsciousness instead of allowing your body the time to enter actual sleep is what’s making it gnaw on itself :/

Read an actual paper book instead of using a screen, get yourself into a habit of making a warm and sweet but not caffeinated drink so your body gets the signal of ‘now is the relaxing time’ at a regular time every night, and your mind will catch up to the routine.

Also dont underestimate the power of a decent meal a couple hours before going to bed (avoid eating directly before, because that’s a recipe for stomach pain and a bad time)

Speaking of recipes

Potion of go the fuck to sleep
