Our country has been sold off and scammed off. You don't understand the level of anger brewing. It's the same story across Europe and America.

People don't understand the scams but they smell it. They know how they remember things and they know that everything is getting worse not better.

I dare our governments to try and draft us into another war, literally dare them, even a war to defend our actual land - people have nothing to fight for and will turn their weapons on perceived perpetrators. It's brewing. This slow decline is painfully visible to people.

If we don't separate fascism and populist oversimplification from issues and attempt to bridge both sides then the cycle will just repeat.

As evidenced by the fact that Trump achieved basically nothing and has plunged us into the worst case scenario on behalf of Israel and probably Russia - and yet the proposed solutions in Europe are: AfD, FN, Reform - all Zionist and Russian cucks who don't have an answer but know how to point at problems.

I see a few politicians like Bernie _genuinely_ attempt to talk to the other side, _genuinely_ admit that yes some mass migration is used for wage suppression and thats bad. We frame all our political issues in ways that do not engage the other side (both sides guilty of this) and then we wonder why populists sweep.

Yes I think it will just be a race to the bottom, however there are several distinct classes of work immune to the concept of AI:

1. Where the market will pay for the privilege or 'quality' of a human (you pay more for a nurse, nanny, server etc., its a status symbol)

2. Where human accountability is required by law, even if that human is just following the recommendations of AI (C-suite, human-in-the-loop safety monitoring)

3. Where personal ownership exists, AI can only serve your small business it cannot own anything

I'm aware of the incentives, but the premise must remain crystal clear:

OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people, OR death to the tyrants.

We cannot afford to fuck around this time, this tech will enable a power dynamic beyond all previous estimation. Stalin, Hitler, the Stasi - their systems were as sophisticated as piece of chalk compared to this potential for universal cross-referenced real-time surveillance backed up by an army of super-soldiers that would murder their own children without hesitation if they had any.

Then we riot and burn it to the ground.

The value proposition is extremely simple:

1. Clankers do almost everything for us as ethical slaves

2. Everything costs next to nothing, from raw materials to finished products, and much of it can be done at home, sustainably and even better than we have it today

3. Society transitions towards utopia, basic needs met for all, away from hand-to-mouth, and we spend our time on friends, family, community and personal enrichment

The alternative is a dystopia beyond Orwellian.

People need to get this idea into their heads: our governments work for us and with almost infinite cheap robot labour and national resources the focus should be on society and not enriching some fucking crooks.

Its literally us or them, literally a fight for our lives

This is great, I fully approve of open weight models stealing as much from the big players as humanly possible. This is already the greatest intellectual property theft in the history of mankind and I think it's totally fitting that the capitalists who sold the rope to hang us are now bitching about China copying their homework.

AI needs to be cheap and abundant, we need to be building utopia for all and resisting the potential for the worst authoritarian totalitarian dystopia imaginable.

I have zero respect for Anthropic and OpenAI, they are quite literally burning books and attempting a land grab, any and all methods are now justified in my view

Thank you for being the only one to notice my craft.

Yeah it's absolutely insane and unacceptable, the UK has built up a very strong safety culture and we're not interested in retards coming here with zero thought and messing it up.

I do think its always the drivers responsibility to assume theres something around a blind bend and set speed accordingly but we cant let this become the new normal.

It seems this isn't just MCP but a plugin into the Google ecosystem that allows side-by-side edit conversation with realtime changes similar to Gemini / Google AI Pro.

What I don't understand is, why would Google allow such direct competition to their own AI subscription? Looking forward to a community/open version of this tho it sounds like it needs something hosted to work.

I'm so glad someone else couldn't focus I thought I was losing my mind here.

4chan is ironically one of the few social platforms with no algorithm and where people can actually genuinely debate.

Reddit is complete trash, nobody can say anything that goes against the authoritarian mods on any subreddit, regardless of if those are good or bad rules, it's just an echo chamber. Twitter is hyperreal at this point, it's impossible to spend more than 3 minutes without being angry at the world.

4chan is so full of fake news, CIA/FSB/Mossad shills and doctored screenshots that it forces you to be skeptical, its not for the masses but I've seen genuine nuggets of gold on there. It's one of the few actual communities, where people actually "get" each other, which is ironic I suppose.

There is no "problem" with 4chan, it has existed for years, it is free speech, and no US administration should be expected to bow to anyone on it.

The problem is platforms that millions do use and have no ability to counter Russian, Mossad and other foreign influence. The problem is that we are all complete cucks to Israel and they've done everything in their power to ensure the likes of Tik Tok will never be able to teach children about their genocide or dragging us into their forever wars. The problem is private equity and corporate dystopia and our cretinous politicians.

He's not stupid tho, I've read some of his stuff and while I never agreed with Brexit I think he always proposed that there should be 2 referendums to validate the actual method of Brexit. He has a very fair point about the civil service.

His problem is he doesn't understand politics, and like Musk he's wasted his time getting involved with the worst people instead of focusing on what he's good at.

Whats really weird is I'm in the UK and use PIA VPN on Community Fibre and for some reason 4chan only loads outside of the VPN.

This government really can go and fuck themselves, as can all our other useless and cretinous political parties. They've achieved nothing, at great cost, and at the expense of a million other issues.

All of our social media has been manipulated by the likes of Russia and Mossad for over a decade now. Our democracies are compromised, everyone is poorer and angrier, and they have sat here and done nothing but go after some fringe website and make people take selfies to wank.

You can't tell people to sacrifice, when people above them are getting away with robbery. You can't sell society on a negative vision for the future and any metric that becomes a target ceases to be a good metric.

We need a positive vision and I don't see anything more positive than automation and the insane unlocks that it can provide. We have the potential to eliminate commuting, turn manufacturing on its head and turn ourselves from this mindless corporate rat race into something genuinely better for everyone.

The bottom line is all environmental initiatives must be human-first benefits for anyone to take them seriously. Solar for example can make your energy independent and cheaper, that should be the focus on selling it - the emissions are just a bonus. Automated cars mean a 2 car household can live with 1 car (or less), and it will come and pick them up, and they can be drunk or fall asleep in it, and they're still comfortable, thats a win before even considering the vastly improved traffic efficiency and throughput on the same roads and reclaiming of carparks as grass.

Because they are arrogant as fuck, barge their way in, shove everyone else out of the way and genuinely believe they are gods chosen people. Are you surprised that a country that regularly spits on Christians and turns cities into concentration camps while running the world's biggest pedo blackmail ring, "right to return for pedos" offer, exploding pagers and spyware operations - happens to be the best?

Sounds like they've been bought by private equity parasites. Why else would you do this?

Their clarification says all users will always be able to export csv etc - which I have done many times to analyse my sleep.

I don't really use HealthKit but out of principle I'm going to look into releasing a free tool that specifically syncs your free Withings export data into Apple Health.

Probably the greatest problem in AI right now is proof / benchmarking

I check every benchmark site weekly, compare harnesses and models, and its still pretty much just vibes

In reality the open/closed weight debate is really just a publisher trust debate.

- We know China is an adversary that embeds backdoors into absolutely anything they can and all Chinese companies are essentially state controlled 5th columnists

- We know our globalist corporate Epstein-class overlords are just as bad if not worse

- But nobody got fired for going with Anthropic, OpenAI or Google

At least open weight models can be somewhat scrutinised for such a backdoor / sleeper function. Closed models rely 100% on fully trusting the publisher to be both competent AND trustworthy

A legit business? Raising legit money?? In this economy???

Wake me up please

I should have been more specific - PHEV vehicles with significant battery capacity.

I think the Prius is something like a "traditional hybrid" or "mild hybrid" (I don't fully remember) which comes down to battery size and how exactly it moves the car.

My point is basically: modern PHEV hybrids are supposed to be used by charging the battery and filling the tank and their MPG ratings come from a carefully determined protocol of doing that, where as owners treat them as traditional/mild hybrids and just fill the tank.

I imagine that regen braking will push that battery charge up a bit but just doesn't overcome the added weight of the large battery plus motor, engine, transmission etc to get the really great MPG rating.

That's great but in the corporate world nobody cares about anything but ticking the boxes, shipping features and covering ass.

They will all virtue signal about how they're an "ethical" corporation that "prioritises humans" and "puts safety first". In reality they outsourced you to India because it was cheaper and now they're going to outsource you to AI because it's cheaper still.

The social contract is broken, there is no career in anything anymore, every single skill you can learn will be commoditised and automated and unfortunately thats a necessary evil. You will have to fight corporations and private equity for every scrap tho.

The only jobs that AI cannot take, by definition, are:

- Government mandated roles with legal accountability such as C-suite (all decisions will be made by AI but a human CEO/CFO must be legally accountable), various safety monitor roles that will likely be nothing more than Homer Simpson clicking Ok.

- Any job where the market is prepared to pay specifically for a human (think higher end daycare, nursing, waiting etc where wealthier customers will pay more for the status of having a real human)

- Ownership of a company, assets, anything - AI will never be allowed to own anything otherwise whats the point. The only way you'll be able to make money as a human doing something you might enjoy is if you start a company

I feel like OpenAI should have secretly contacted a bunch of mathematicians and offered to give them "credit" for these "discoveries" as long as they also credited ChatGPT with helping in research. Mutual interest etc.

UK has some of the most expensive electricity in the world, and I can't charge at home without paying the council north of £1000 to cut a cable gully in front of my house (which I'm not even guaranteed a parking space outside of). Public chargers are at least 2x higher cost than home charging and can be up to 20x.

Despite this, I bought a cheap used 2020 Nissan Leaf and hopefully will never look back. This year it makes a huge difference but last year it would be barely a few percent cheaper than petrol. I'm a nerd and I'm happy to do some extra planning for road trips, but I don't think the average person will look at an EV like this. Range anxiety essentially limits you to ~60% of total range capacity (you're not going to sit at a service waiting absurd amounts of time to charge the last 20%, and you're not going to risk getting so low that if the next charger is faulty it will strand you).

I do agree that hybrids are nuts, and only make sense for a small demographic. I also suspect that they are a green scam as I read that most PHEV owners don't bother to actually plug them in, so the impressive ~100 MPG figures are actually worse than ICE. I'm not a car guy but even I can recognise that the hybrid engine provides absolutely zero satisfaction, especially with a CVT.

So yes, people are buying hybrids because of inflated MPG marketing, virtue signalling, whatever government benefits you get from a "green" vehicle (not much, our government isn't serious about EVs and hates anyone having a car) but most importantly the fact that every service station in the country can fuel it, in a few seconds.

Looking at my Nissan Leaf it is entirely possible to build a reliable car with real buttons and knobs everywhere, and thats the problem for the industry. The used market is flooded with perfectly good Leafs, dirt cheap, the lowest yearly maintenance vehicle on CarEdge.

Even ICE cars have gotten a little too good over the last couple of decades, I see plenty of early 2000s models driving around today looking perfectly fine.

How are these corporations supposed to maximise profit if they keep churning out perfectly sensible vehicles?

Just be thankful that they are still obvious, AliExpress is full of knock-off camera glasses and they are only going to get more compact, harder to spot and they won't even bother adding an easily disabled recording light

Sorry but have you looked at AliExpress lately? You think glasses with hidden video cameras are something we have the ability to ban?

Meta has made the concept popular, but hardware feasibility already tipped the scales, these cameras are going to be ubiquitous and if not in glasses then in even more hidden formats like buttons and pinhole wearables.

I switched to nicotine patches and never looked back, I use them as nootropics now.

The key is to break any brain connection between doing something and receiving nicotine, no other method can do this, you will simply keep dosing.

I'm at the point where I will often forget to put a patch on. I also cut the patches up to get the desired dose and save money as all box doses are the same price (try and convince me that this is wrong).

I will occasionally use a higher dose if I'm on a night out or feel the need but since it takes maybe an hour to have an effect I don't ever feel the need to re-dose it's just something I put on and forget. Best nicotine decision I ever made.

The general workflow I have seen for non-technical people building software is something like:

- Do multiple tasks in the same context window / session, conflate different changes into the same prompt

- Repo mixed with old markdown files from previous tasks, excel and word docs and 300 playwright screenshots

- 5 tools all calling each other, test and deployment scripts are all markdown skills

Personally I prefer a ticketing system and isolated work trees

Jev has been cancelled already, since it turned out to be a closed paid rip off of an open weight model published with a paper last year. I forget the name of the original but it has been discussed here.

Start ups ripping off open weight models should not be honoured, their name should be cast into the void
