Edit: same night I watch a decorated military officer in full regalia get shot point blank with non lethal shotgun

Based cop moment

I imagine the student thought it was a tear gas canister instead of the cops throwing explosives at children.

As usual.

I genuinely wonder why the obvious US foreign meddling is allowed all over the place.

Great to see Rockchip becoming more and more stable. Raspberry Pi has fully sold out to corporate people need to start moving away from it as fast as possible.

Here’s to hoping a RiscV support starts becoming more mature soon too

Yes but they haven’t found any beyond baseless “wonder if there are links to Iran”

But they sure sold you their Western media propaganda if you misunderstood that they found them. That was their intention

I really hope China is being as based as CNN makes them seem

They can get away with anything because most industries demand Siemens.

On a sidenote what would you or your father say a good brand PLC is?

It’s not but you’re not supposed to question that. The ties to Morocco really put the cherry on top.

LLM’s found a mountain of security exploits of different magnitudes in the Linux kernel which got patched.

You’re in luck it already is https://x.com/NathanFlurry/status/2105874931586310248

DERP

Replace the whole thing with “are”

The mayor appoints the police chief of their desire, who can order the PD around.

Zohran chose hardcore Zionist billilonaire Jessica Tisch who was responsible for brutalizing student protesters

This is about banning AI contributions from specific open-sourced projects.

Do you even know what Codeberg did?

If the goal isn’t to oppose the technology but instead steer towards better use of the technology then that should be promoted. This blanket opposition means that we get fascists like DHH being the only ones to adopt LLM’s because for some reason the left has a hate boner for it.

LLM’s can save tremendous time now. You see projects like C&C Generals running on a tablet, or Lego Racers on web which would require tonnes of manual labour and now they’re just a few LLM prompts. It’s gotten to the point these kind of projects which would have been multi-year undertakings in the past have become “unimpressive”

Yes they’re not perfect and they do make mistakes. That’s why understanding architecture is more important than ever. But manual coding is really becoming a thing of the past. Agentic coding progress over the last year has pretty much solidified that. It’s still not perfect but it’s really good now.

Any industry that throws billions of dollars into something will make progress and now that progress has been made there’s not much of a point in just resisting the tech itself. Therefore instead of pleading against all AI I believe it’s much better to plead for open weight or open source and efficient AI.

The problem is like with the Luddites that you don’t own the machine (AI) and the largest companies want to keep full control over them. It’s a problem with the system ruling you not with the technology itself.

This is the exact opposite. Trying to ban AI from everything despite its use cases.

Many people don’t know this but even Luddites didn’t oppose machinery. They simply opposed the ownership structure of it. So instead of saying “no LLM” you could say “Open-source/weight LLM’s allowed only”.

Thank you Iran for decolonizing the Middle East

Issues of licensing and stolen code, potentially causing copyright problems which most open-source projects are poorly fit to resolve and may go down because of them

What, we care about licenses and copyright now?

Big tech has stolen all code and now everything it “open source”. You’re not going to get into legal trouble for using LLM generated code there’s no precedent for that. The only ones getting sued are the big tech companies who stole the code.

Environmental impact of model training, huge data centers threatening water supplies, producing tons of e-waste, creating noise pollution, increasing power demand, including one from unclean sources at the critical point when we should reduce it as much as possible

Sure but that’s mostly them training a gazillion new models. You could ban models from providers that are doing all these things and thus promote more efficient models.

Deterioration in skill level of human coders and lack of avenues for juniors to learn to code properly, which is likely to stay as an essential thing to have

Valid but understanding architecture and delegating writing the code and especially tests is becoming much more important than just artisan writing it these days.

Outside coding, there are many ethical issues around companies producing LLM models, as many have ties to the military and police, and are heavily misused to fuel fascist regimes

Like I said there’s local models as well. China puts out plenty of great open weight stuff like GLM5.3 which will likely have to run in the cloud but it’s still open weight.

The West discovered renewables and nuclear and then decided to keep burning coal and oil for the next 100 years like the absolute degenerates they are because they control the oil markets
