Living amongst these people is a baffling and frustrating experience.

The Wright Brothers did not know everything about flying, physics, engines, etc. They knew enough to do it, and did. In the years since we have written millions more pages and tried so many more things that if I want to fly, I don’t need to reinvent the airplane. This is the superpower of humanity, we don’t have to reinvent every time.

We all know enough about capitalism, socialism, etc. to act. Instead we prefer to sit and wank longer about the best possible society; meaning all we can do is endlessly talk about the best possible society.

The only way to actually build one is to learn what’s needed and act. Who cares what label it has, who cares if the theory is sound or not. If it doesn’t work in practice, you iterate forward.

I’m not going to reply to any more stupidity in here. Go theorize all you want. I’ll just leave one comment.

Otherwise it’s like saying you want to be able fly without developing theories of physics, aerodynamics, and internal combustion engines.

Check a history book, that’s precisely how we started flying.

I love this idea. Libraries should provide free hosting for people in the community.

Im all about democratizing the internet, and im all about self hosting. Libraries could be just what we need for that.

Brilliant idea my friend.

these are not two sides. The system is working as some intend so needs to be dismantled, at least large parts of it, to fix it.

People always forget, nuance exists.

I have always assumed that everything that I type into an LLM is guaranteed to be completely insecure, and entirely public. I would never, in a million years, put anything sensitive into an LLM, any account and password is unique.

I mean, I figure whatever I type is going to be used as training data for the next iteration, and I assume anything that goes in, is retrievable to some degree.

I have, but they wouldn’t take a fist born, nor magic beans..

I try to keep one or two near collections at all times. Makes me feel like someone cares..

This is a joke (although I am often behind on bills).
