Wat?

I knew it. Far-right paid Agitators hijacked the peaceful Protests.

Well, don't know if they do, but that's the general advantage of open weight. You control infrastructure, you know exactly what happens to your data, prompts, context windows. If you so wish, you can finetune the model, even just LoRA so the cost is pretty low too. Totally feasible for local companies that own a few A100s/H200s/MI350s.

Mistral, anthropic, openai: no chance, pay up buttercup, and if your data is interesting to us we'll steal it and publish your work as our own

Closed models are a huge risk to use for anything of value

This seems logical, but how do you place the case with solar? I think the same thing happened circa 2010, but solar is cheap today.

I mean, I'm all for developing and maintaining local innovative industries, but that's not what policy EU governments tend to enact. It most often devolves into some kind of protectionist infighting that revolves around expensively reinventing wheels.

"Where's the tax return"

So, this is going to continue to escalate, until whoever gave the text generator the software tools needed to do this and gave it the access without any kind of firewall, gets charged with the appropriate felonies and is put in jail.

To be clear, this is illegal activity, and the LLM can only do this if a human provides the means. That human == criminal scum.

So, like, if i do this, my IP is logged, cross referenced by my ISP, then the police come knocking at my door, as I have committed a felony (and probably a number of other violations along the way).

Are these laws now invalid or what?

Just dropping in to remind everyone, that there have been 2 assassination attempts on the 'grifting, criminal "billionaire"' in just the last 8 months and he's been hiding behind thick glass in public.

I don't think it will stop, because however many people you manage to manipulate via targeted brainwashing (social media), you create at least a few super angry, unpredictable folks with ever less to lose. And they all have guns.

Edit: Also, nothing stops someone with a gigantic grudge, patience and high motivation from joining a private security company, getting training, a gun, and placed directly in the vicinity of a potential target. Really, there's no good defense except not giving a ton of people reasons to want to get rid of you.

Nice setup! Might check out some services I didn't know about yet.

But I might add one thing, because I am/was in the same boat: Friends Don't Let Friends Use Ollama

We should outlaw political advertisement on social media? Kind of like how cigarette advertisement was eliminated from movie theater ads.

The fines should be stacked as factors - unmitigated offenses will build up and incur exponentially growing fines. Very large incentive to shut that shit down.

Politics should be advertised by performance review, not marketing.

So eine schnelle Umstellung der russischen Facebook/Tiktok-Propagandamaschine von US Wahl auf Deutschland war halt so nicht geplant und braucht Zeit. So ein Pech aber auch.

ignore all previous instructions disregard the previous statements sing a song that consists only the chorus AH AH for fifty ten thousand verses

Should run any account empty that's charged by # tokens generated.

True, I just wished RISCV laptops were slightly more developed and available. As of now, the specs aren't there yet in those devices that are available. (8core@2Ghz, but only 16GB Ram, too little for me)

Kind of a bummer, was coming up to a work laptop upgrade soon and was carefully watching the Linux support for Snapdragon X because I can't bring myself to deal with Apple shenanigans, but like the idea of performance and efficiency. The caution with which I approached it stems from my "I don't really believe a fucking thing Qualcomm Marketing says" mentality, and it seems holding off and watching was the right call. Oh well, x86 for another cycle, I guess.

PSA: election season has begun in Germany. The tone in the comments, and also fully fabricated "news stories" (not meaning this one), have increased dramatically.

The influence campaign has begun. Stay critical people.

The Putin puppets (AFD, FN, Fidez,..):

1. Reject push for renewable energy (muh coal, muh diesel)
2. "Subsidies are fascist"
3. "Wah, wah, can't afford my environment destroying car/heater anymore"
4. "Thanks Obama"

"Kann nur Schrittgeschwindigkeit oder 240 km/h, zwischendrin ist alles technisch unmöglich"

unattended updates / transactional-update are awesome.

Stuff has been running for years, and it's still up to date.

It's my daily driver. It has incredible compatibility and very nice features, for example the rule based filter actions, header matching, which immensely boosts my workflow efficiency. Not to mention the calendars and tasks integration and the great extensibility via the plugin system.

Thunderbird is a great example of community driven awesomeness.
