  • because Facebook trained an LLM on Libgen data. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point some big tech considered to at least fund some of these projects through side-channels, because nowadays open source and liberation of information means free lunches for American big tech, but that's very different from Anna's archive being a psyop to externalize content theft.

  • I think the point is more general about profiting from "renting" their music rather than from their labor. The fact that Spotify gives them peanuts make their position even more miserable.

  • It took me a second to realize this was a joke. There are people who seriously believe Anna's Archive is funded/supported by big tech to concentrate copyrighted material to be used for AI training.

  • if you have the right kind of potato, it's very easy and it takes less time than most handmade pasta

  • Coolness is the enemy of social relationship. Be cringe and be free.

  • If you want a sandwich, you have to make it.

  • I don't think AIliens are the same as AGI. I believe in this frame AIliens exist in the mind of people, rather than in the machine. It's behavior complex enough to be interpreted as such, rather than a sentient being thinking of itself as sentient, as AGI implies. It's alive in the same way an organization is alive and thinking, or a mycelium network. AGI is human-like intelligence reproduced in silicon. AIliens are... alien.

    The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet

  • who here is terrified of technology?

  • American kids larping as maoists don't like China to be criticized because they idolize a foreign power in reaction to the misery of their political landscape. It's a coping mechanism.

  • A lot of these spaces are reading, writing and designing around so-called "anti-capture" protocols exactly to avoid that.

  • I'm one of the few volunteer contributors to Bonfire, and I would never dream of recommending Mozilla to use it. You have to reach out to people where they are at, not pick the tools based on prime principles. American platforms are blackmailing us by gatekeeping access to audiences, but it's not like you can pretend most humans are reachable on microscopic federated platforms. Which btw is not the intended use case for bonfire.

  • mind that the writers are engaged with many other orgs and don't really speak on behalf of Mozilla Foundation

  • bro, this logic of thinking that only stupid people fall for propaganda is only useful to make you feel intelligent and reinforces the right-wing. There's plenty of evidence this is not how it works. Get your shit together, and find another activity to feed your ego.

  • Probably the same people have been targeted over and over by the same videos. TikTok users likely watch dozens of videos per day and the views add up quickly.

  • It's fun how every country reinvents the newspaper-selling machine. It's like carcinization, but for politics.

  • Generative AI includes also image and video generation, which have a very different approach than LLMs

  • because it is relevant in different communities, no?

  • is not particularly Marxist Marx wrote extensively about metaphysics. The whole discussion of dialectical materialism vs historical materialism is a metaphysical debate. Also you're treating Marxism as metaphysical dogma: we can evolve from a 150-year-old idea of world and history, you know? Especially since it's failing to deliver big times in the West.

    No need to bring in a larger metaphysical framework.

    Same argument as before: whatever we used so far paralyzed us and made us weaker and the results are clear. Most of the metaphysical framework employed by the traditional left is paralyzing, disempowering, and on top of that stuck into an idea of "modernity" that has been dying for a while. The far-right took note modernity is over and this enabled them to operate in ways that the Left fails even to process, let alone to imitate. The indigenous people of a good part of the world always rejected modernist metaphysics and are now free to produce more interesting theory, practices and struggles than most of the Global North. China is its own thing.

    The 20th century is over and the world has changed. Any ecosystem achieving meaningful political results employs an anti-modern metaphysical framework. Maybe it's worth considering that there might be a problem with the modernist, teleological, reductionist 19th-century framework you operate in.
