> Boycotting it entirely might make one feel morally superior, but I don't think it will meaningfully affect how bad actors leverage the technology

well, you only can truly change what you do so that's the only thing that can be changed anyway. feeling superior isn't good though. i have good reasons not to touch LLMs, it's for my own sake, not because i can save the world with it. when others choose to not use LLMs, i will support them.

@toiletpaper i mainly don't use it because of the heidegger argument. it would change me, and the slope is downward - stopping it's usage would be much harder for me than starting it.

if i can't do things on my own, i have to reflect if i really need to do them. if i'm too lazy to do the menial tasks, is the whole important enough for me? is it really MY work if 90% is done by some automaton? (isn't the compiler the very same?)

not easy and of course different for everyone.

@toiletpaper hannah arendt lets libtards heads explode 💁

everything changes one, hence i have to decide if i want to use something and thus be changed. fedi is ok for me, i can talk to interesting people here. X etc. just fry my brain.

i can't really place my finger on it, but LLMs feel functionally different to me. a plough is a plough, a lathe is a lathe, a compiler is a compiler. a llm produces semi random combinations of things. fwiw, i'd be leas critical if they were trained locally.

@icedquinn basing real life ethics on some hyped scifi/fantasy/... book seems to be a pretty bad idea in general.

@pwm @sun but, yes this is what happened to computerstuff in general. back in the day the one woman who was there was a lesbian who cared as much for looks as her male peers. now you have at least half of the population showing their boobs while flashing their arduino with the latest blinking led script.

@pwm @sun can i just have the gambling part, not the prostitutes?

@pwm @sun but i don't want softcore sellout, i want people enjoying things without pronification :(

@sun maybe just the eternal cycle of niece hobbies ruined by getting popular

@mr_penguin making sure kids are safe is a tough issue. it's hard to make sure they aren't exploited. in the end the only thing which might prevent it is if everyone in a society really cares and acts accordingly, i guess.

@mr_penguin nobody cared when i bought booze or tobacco with 14. nobody, not even my parents were (they certainly should've) giving a shit when i was shitface drunk aged twelve.

the problem with these laws is that they take away responsibility from parents and society because "there's a law against that!".

everyone just waits for the authority. which seldom acts, and if it acts it's most often the cases that don't make life hard for the authorities anyway.

@sun nintendo did this right with switch imo, they shouldn't have opened their system for all kinds of shovelware though.

i think consoles started to suck after they got an OS.

@p fancy! never tried sun tea, what you use for it, green tea?

@Humpleupagus @SilverDeth @p @beardalaxy @VD15 @ForbiddenDreamer @romin is this a predecessor of super aleste/space mega force?

@Humpleupagus @SilverDeth @p @beardalaxy @VD15 @ForbiddenDreamer @romin i'll give it a play tomorrow, sounds pretty good on headphones!

@Humpleupagus @SilverDeth @p @beardalaxy @VD15 @ForbiddenDreamer @romin the backgrounds look absolutely insane for a NES game

@sun the problem with self hosted ai is that you (for now?) are bound to use some black box model trained by $MEGACORP or china.

3d printers should be do-able, aren't there some with open design docs?

drones largely follow from 3d printers imo, the remaining parts are off the shelf items and microcontrollers, not sure how those are realistically banned.

if i would have to add to this list, some means of long range digital communication is required. starlink isn't going to save us.

oh ffs THAT is something to worry about:

EU is going to allow:

- "limited" GMO without declaration on the products, only the seeds have to be labeled.

- areas where GMO are grown don't have to be declared anymore

- GMO seeds can be patented

this will kill (on purpose, i'm sure) every heirloom seed growing operation. you can't make sure your seeds aren't contaminated, so every seed potentially is patented.
