Bitte, versteht mich nicht falsch. Ich mag Antiquariate, wie gesagt.

Aber bitte fragt Leute vom Fach, wenn ihr z.B. wissen wollt, wie wahrscheinlich es ist, dass sich in einem Antiquariat was bestellen lassen könnte, was wirklich rar ist, und von kaum jemandem sonst digitalisiert werden könnte. Fragt uns sowas einfach, bitte. Wir haben das studiert, literally. (Oder folgt uns hier, mit Openbiblio gibt es hier eine ganze Instanz mit hunderten aktiven Accounts von Menschen aus der Branche.)

@Bonfire Sweet! Thanks!

@quinta Hanno più che dimezzato il costo della pezzetta. Avrebbero potuto raddoppiarlo indicando la richiesta di pezzette generata dall’AI come responsabile.
Incontentabili e polemici, ecco.

There is a correct solution to the trolley problem.

It is this: you design the system with positive train control. You make it so the trolley cannot enter a section where there are people, and you make it so the trolley can be stopped quickly if something goes wrong.

I've been told that this is cheating, a cop-out, or avoiding the "interesting" aspects of the question. I don't think it is. Framing the world as a series of individual can't-win situations and lose-lose decisions _is_ the problem.

Don't do that.

Detox Doodles!

These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: https://www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-doodles

This page is all about owls, who are surprisingly expressive!

Stop saying stupid stuff like:
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

Start saying:
"A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."

FIND yourself a a linux distribution or BSD that does reject AI; use it and donate to it.

If you can't move your daily driver move a secondary machine. Tinker with it, fit it into your life where it makes sense.

YEAH the linux kernel has slop. Most programming languages have slop. Most desktop environments have slop, you will have dependencies that are still slop. This is a big problem; there is no magic off switch to fixing this overnight.

We are in the early days of dealing with a contaminate that polluters are actively dumping into our digital environment.

It is going to take a long time before anyone can truly be slop free.

But support, and invest in the folks doing that hard work which will build a slop free future.

Starlight Network maintains a list of slop rejecting operating systems and distros here: https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html #floss #AntiAI #linux #bsd #netbsd #elementaryos #gentoo

@emenel I had not heard this.

Do you know John McCarthy's thoughts on Wiener or this in particular? Although McCarthy ended up as a conservative at Standford, I never thought of him as a free market libertarian type.

Acciderba sono andata a controllare e non, non è borosilicato! Io pensavo fosse un pirex con il coperchio!!! Fortuna non mi è mai venuto in mente di metterli in forno
@salutidamestre

@Tutanota Exactly…

Has anyone a good article about the exploitative work practices used when training LLMs?

As books the "Atlas of AI" and "The AI Con" handle this but I'm looking for something shorter as an entry for someone who wasn't aware of this

@nitot ah j'ai juste entamé la saison 1, la suite je sais pas :)

@rincewind

That has never appealed :)

I tend to use markdown, and typst to convert that to beautiful documents.

Täglich checken und bearbeiten allein ca. 1.000 Bibliotheken aktiv an ihren Bestandsdaten in einem (!) der deutschen Bibliotheksverbünde, dem GBV.
