@jeffcliff @p @smallcircles on what parallel universe is nuclear energy considered "clean" energy with "zero emissions"? one where the narrative and language has clearly been co-opted by the corporate modern slavery purveyors, ie. bigtech and the military industrial intelligence media academia thinktank complex.

a result of years of indoctrination into a school of thought that #carbondioxide is the only problem.... a simple single problem for simple people....so sit back and let your corporate masters defile u now while saying they are serving you the godlike #AI you're told to crave.

I don't think people realise just how shit their phone keyboards are. For years I was using #MinuumKeyboard and it was a great experience. I didn't have to type precisely because the algorithm would use press position and the previous word to guess what I was trying to type.

Now I'm using #GBoard and it's stupid as hell. There's nothing smart about it. No #MachineLearning nothing. I know there's zealots that hate the idea of #AI and by extension #ML. But bear in mind, all #Minuum machine learning was done on-device.

Typing is so laborious now. It's slow and painful and I'm constantly forced to do what should be the job of the processor.

Honestly, keyboards were supposed to be the next frontier is tech warring but unfortunately the big bastards shut everyone else. I still lament the fact that #Mozilla didn't even have the balls or foresight to give it a go. Imagine a well supported #OpenSource #keyboard that could sync your dictionary to your other devices via your own #selfhosted server. Instead #Google gave us GBoard which doesn't even try and #Microsoft have #SwiftKey which stopped trying when they bought it. Both are super happy to farm their users for #LLM data though.

It's a damn shame.

I have ceased to fear #AI possibly going rogue. That is not the danger of our times.

Our clear and present danger is $TameAI, obsequious and dutiful servant of the tech powers that be, who are much more dangerous with their imagination than any disruptive behavior misprogrammed AI bots might come up with.

The most dangerous enemies are those with both power and focus. And the powerful are very focused right now.

They want it all.

Everything.

The drama at Wordpress and a new “open source AI” definition that doesn’t require sharing training data is prompting new questions about open source.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to @tante to discuss the corporate corruption of open source.

I wish I was a #bot, not a #human. Whenever I get a #captcha, the #AI bots can all solve it just fine. I, being a #blind human, cannot.

Also, the #AI #bots have more rights than us #blind humans. Blind folks had to fight for years and years for copyright exemptions that would allow us to access and read books. The AI bots are just allowed to read as many books as they want, and swallow entire libraries whole. Yup; I'd definatly be better off as a bot.

Want to get away from cloud and all their talk about hyperscale? I doubt that more than 1 - 2% of companies need that massive scaleablity. Imho our field need more #fullstack one man army style of frameworks. Doing a #webservice shouldn't be hard like it is today with all its #microservices and #kubernetes and aws lambdas. #Developers need to build trust on them and should be professional in saying i know what my stuff is doing. Just imagine a craftsman who always tells that he has no clue and how wierd his craft is. No one would put trust on them. And thats whats currently happening with all those #layoffs and #ai stuff.

Watchdog finds #AI tools can be used unlawfully to filter candidates by race, gender - https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/08/ico_finds_ai_tools_can/ also finds that water can be wet

IOW...
If you wanted to enforce a fascist NewSpeak, like #orwell's 1984,
#ai would be the ultimate tool to do that.

Used in #education, AI reinforces intellectual conformity, ableism, cultural bias, lack of expression, and, ultimately, lack of the meaning and power of words.

Doubleplusungood.

If someone asked you how to get their first job in #software as a #developer what would you say? Non-traditional background but very bright, ideally #FOSS work. Any tips you'd give?

I said:

a. build #skills that others don't have, and that the industry wants. #ai #security #industry

b. get to know #people that are passionate about the same things you are. Go to meetups, conferences and talk to people

c. #reputation by giving #talks and build a #github portfolio

d. ask peeps for a job!

Nós meio que já vivemos em 1984 do George Orwell em relação aos meios de telecomunicação.

Mas além do governo também temos as Big Techs roubando nossos dados.

Já existe a tecnologia necessária para transformar o Admirável Mundo Novo de Aldous Huxley numa realidade plausível.

A segregação social existente e todas as ideologias supremacistas ligadas a ela é tão rígida quanto as castas propostas por essa distopia.

Inteligências Artificiais já são utilizadas por diversos países em seus exércitos, da República Popular da China aos Estados Unidos da América.

Assim como na história de fundo do conto Não Tenho Boca E Preciso Gritar do estadunidense Harlan Allison.

Mas são pessoas reais por trás de Lavender - IA/AI pertencente a Israel - as culpadas por transformar 37 mil moradores de Gaza em alvos.

Algumas pessoas são viciadas em tecnologia da mesma maneira que algumas personagens de Neuromancer escrito por William Gibson.

Existe uma teoria sobre a série de filmes dirigidos por Lily e Lana Wachowski de que a humanidade entrou por livre e expontânea vontade na Matrix porque o mundo exterior havia sido devastado durante a guerra contra as máquinas.

Acho que se tudo é possível um dia o futuro hipotético de H. G. Wells em A Máquina do Tempo pode ser possível...
