New: in leaked audio, Flock's CEO Garrett Langley tells cops that a story we wrote about Flock being used to track a woman who self-administered an abortion is "entirely false." He's lying. The audio shows how Flock speaks when doesn't think comments will be public

USA is officially & dramatically going after Autistici/Inventati in an unprecedented attack 🔥 this is sign of a new phase in vectoralist class war against hackers. If we don't fight back as class, everyone will lose.

If you were to use a co-op for AI services, would you prioritize privacy or renewable energy first?
@ntnsndr
1) I'd consider privacy a more significant concern.
2) After that, I'd consider the openness of the model/s involved. Are they open parameter?
3) Renewables would be a concern, Artificial Intelligence is a worthy target for energy usage. Chinese models are worth considering. China's electricity production is over twice the US, and the renewable component is large. And while China relies on coal, the per capita usage is more efficient, and the long-term investment in renewables is high.

DICHIARAZIONE DEL COLLETTIVO A/I SULLE SANZIONI DISPOSTE DAL GOVERNO USA NEI SUOI CONFRONTI – A STATEMENT BY A/I COLLECTIVE ABOUT US SANCTIONS
[ENGLISH VERSION BELOW]
Oggi abbiamo appreso che il governo degli Stati Uniti ha deciso di inserire un piccolo collettivo di volontari e attivisti digitali italiani nell'elenco delle organizzazioni terroristiche mondiali meritevoli di sanzioni, come si può leggere nelle dichiarazioni del Dipart

Not going to recount how many attempts it took to get the little shoulder button springs to sit for assembly without popping out, but it was more than 10.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Lol, I have never actually had to interact with one - I don't fuck with milk either way - so no idea what the protocol is for actually using one.
@miss_rodent Okay so check this wild shit out. Take the big bag, and open it up, take out one of the little bags that looks like an IV bag but full of milk, put that bag, still all sealed up, vertically in the pitcher - it will stick out about a 3rd over the top of the plastic pitcher. Then cut a tiny corner at the top of the bag. Now you can tip the pitcher, to pour the milk RIGHT out of the bag. It's fucking wild shit. And they all do it.

Most of the internet is becoming unusable due to “AI” slop and now large parts of the remaining usable part are being branded as terrorism. WTF. (Autistici/Inventati is being put on a terror list, check out their website:
https://www.autistici.org/)
Maybe we really ought to start from scratch?
This is what, and all, it takes to be a designated terrorist organization anymore: being a “cadre of radical hackers and tech developers [that] provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools – to Marxist, anarchist, and other left-wing extremist groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere.”
NB: That’s just about every one of us on here, is it not? Incredible overreach, incredibly pernicious and incredibly dangerous.

While others like GAFAM are providing Israel with technology participating in Gaza genocide...
@david_chisnall then don't phrase it as if the survey contained that then. the claim that the reason for the survey result is the belief that "it can become fully self-aware and decide to kill all humans" is entirely something you are surmising and not in any way something that was in the linked source.
You seem intent on arguing with something I didn’t write. I’m not sure how to respond other than to say: yes, I agree I should not write the thing I did not write.

My son is looking for a software job.
He graduated this year with a BS in CompSci. He's been writing software since he was tiny — the degree just made it official.
He got great grades, has strong hobby experience, and stellar references. He's great with high level code, the new AI hotness, but great with old school C too. And he's an all around nice guy.
I'm reaching out to you folks to see if anyone is looking for a young guy to fill out your team.
Please repost to spread the word. Thx!

@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe two days ago I was thinking this would be a good nice feature, but didn't want to bother with this. I'm glad you've thought of this already and have implemented. #bonfire team rocks!
