It's more like tyranny of inalienable rights which is a good thing in my opinion. Every society should have a bill of rights that the public nor state can't change. That's how you protect against fascism.

It was an absolutely brutal video to watch. I agree. Even with the absolute best field first aid, EMS and surgical response, arterial bleeding I think has a 60% survival rate? Again, if everything goes perfectly, timed perfectly etc.

There has to be a private school somewhere in the United States that is opposed to this model. It's a shame if they do exist, they don't advertise themselves as such.

I want to teach technology to young people through a lens of anti-survelliance, anti-ads, anti-censorship etc

"My wife and I had a disagreement about letting my son (now 23) have my old desktop replacement laptop."

But at least that's your son. We shouldn't outsource these difficult decisions to strangers, school, municipal, federal systems etc.

I wouldn't consider my organization dangerously authoritarian. But definitely authoritarian. I doubt any preferable locations exist in education. They all support this digital authoritarianism. Lastly, I don't have the economic means to just quit.

I can vent on HN though lol.

"Why does the school need to disincentivize them working together?" The school doesn't want them using this tool to send messages to one another during class or send inappropriate memes using it.

So instead of asking them not to make inappropriate memes (don't think you could honestly convince students not to chat with one another digitally during class, if option exists) they want to nuke the entire tool.

This school reprimanded me for not using go guardian to remotely monitor what websites they were trying to visit. I told my students it's a gross invasion of privacy for anyone but your parents.

Lots of problems here. They are also TERRIFIED of lawsuits. I couldn't get them to unblock neil.fun because IT convinced the principal their are links to porn sites from Neil.fun

I showed otherwise but they refused to believe their own eyes. Every year it seems I have to sell more of my soul to digital fascism to keep my job.

Current geopolitical stuff too. Intelligence agencies use Wikipedia articles as propaganda tools. The Ukraine War articles are factually incorrect. To be expected with so much at stake.

I'm sorry but is this argument in good faith? There is a loud minority of anti-car activists on HN and Reddit that simply will advocate for any policy that harass drivers.

I support private vehicle ownership and am opposed to any kind of tracking/nuisance enforcement behavior.

I've stopped thinking to formulate content. I now think to prompt.

This makes complete sense though. We're simply trying to automate the human thinking process like we try to use technology to automate/handoff everything else.

With music I gave up and just listen to soma fm. I donate $40 a year. Download wat I like if needed from YouTube illegally

You will own nothing and be happy basically.

We're in the era of less control, more surveillance, more "security", more being treated like a child and lied to.

Just yesterday I got a venmo prompt to add biometrics for "security". F off.

HN loathes cars.

Hoping and voting for Mamdani in the hopes that he bans Waymo to protect drivers who are trying to earn a living.

Sounds genocidal.

This caught my attention "But today even “small” models run so close to hardware limits".

Sounds analogous to the 60's and 70's i.e "even small programs run so close to hardware limits". If optimization and efficiency is dead in software engineering, it's certainly alive and well in LLM development.

The live chats are popular with lonely people. I don't think people even realize Tik Tok has many thousands of ongoing live streams. That you the user can participate in. It had nothing to do with losing out on random brain rot posts.

Listen. I can't speak for everyone else. But for me personally, I have on multiple occasions told chat gpt I feel miserable. It gives some useful or useless information back and that's good enough.

The porn too. Not chat gpt but other models. It lets you write good erotic lit. Erotic illustrations. Then will talk you out of depressive funk.

Those are probably more valuable to society than using LLM's to increase Blackrocks quarterly profits .005%.

Just give me the cake bro. Nothing in this society is ever getting fixed again.

We are serious. Why is it a big deal as I asked in a previous thread? Throw the people a bone please.

It's sad but is it really "cringe"? Can the people have nothing? Why can't we have a chat bot to bs with? Many of us are lonely, miserable but also not really into making friends irl.

It shouldn't be so much of an ask to at least give people language models to chat with.

Good. Remind them of digital health passports. They screamed for it. They deserve chat monitoring.

This was on page 1. I refreshed my browser and it vanished.

What outlook? What planet are we on? Why are we debating who makes better handcuffs? Do E.U citizens prefer their handcuffs be made in Europe? I'm so confused.

The problem isn't being handcuffed by Google or an American company, it's being handcuffed at all. Is it some kind of psychological coping skill to misdirect from the obvious problem (an age verification app that bans user software preferences)?

Who cares if it's Google or an American company. The point is you decided to let the E.U dictate what software you can run on your phone.

The same thing could have been said about the computer in general and masses adopting the personal computer.

That's how I view LLM's now. They are what follows computers in the evolution of information technology.

True. Responsible and ethical regulators who look out for an uninterested public is probably as good as it would get.

The trend has been for all things related to sex, dating and relationships to be aggressively male hostile. But I think it's certainly peaked. Off topic, any notice how anti -male bumble is? Trash app.

The solution to those who would like to play porn games is not relying on developers to make them or Steam to host them but using an LLM to build them for you, and your SSD to host them.

I agree. The intended audience agrees. The general population could care less and will continue to use spyware. I think the real question should be how do we go about making the public care?
