Yeah, but the thing is, I’m not really afraid about anyone else. If someone steals my laptop or finds it or whatever, I don’t really care about what they do with my docker cache. And I’m not a target of any particular hacker group. I just feel dirty when corpos train their LLM on my data to sell me useless shit back, so that’s kind of the only thing that I would like to avoid.

I don’t know, I don’t see a lot of damage or unpleasantness stemming from someone getting into my /tmp, but I don’t want any llm being fed contents of my /home. I am less afraid of an attack, as I am irked by corpos putting fingers into my shit

Just encrypt your home then.

Wa’a, pur’e wa’a. Aneteme I wa’t it, dey or night, free o char’ge, and it tastes…of fuck all. Cheer’s

What does it filter? Why do you need a filter in your fridge?

Here’s hoping there will be more similarities between the two

The data and connections were what’s important, algorithms need data, and that was as true back then as it is now.

This is absolutely a bad idea that shouldn’t be implemented. However, everyone who is continuing to push fo the digital spying with the rhetoric like that needs to be checked thoroughly. Statistically, I can almost guarantee that their hard drives is full of child porn and their basements are full of skeletons.

My man, if you think I didn’t do my fair share of stupid drinking, you’re severely underestimating what college does to a young man.
Things that I did and not particularly proud of:

• drinking a standart 0.5 liter bottle of vodka in one gulp (the trick is to swirl it so it does a little whirlwind, this way it creates laminal flow)
• drinking 80% proof alcohol like it was regular vodka
• drinking so much beer in one sitting, it was sloshing inside me like I was a baloon.
• much much more.

Was it not smart? Yeah, totally. Was it fun? If you account for all the vomiting and hangovers and states of total drunkinnes, overal no, it wasn’t fun, don’t recommend. Did it give me any permanent damage including death? Nope, I was lucky enough to be smart enough to not make it an addiction, and because of that I am alive and as healthy as I could be at my age.

You mean my job? Pretty bad, but I need money so what am I going to do

Alcoholic cerebellar degeneration is caused by chronic consumption.
If you aren’t alcoholic already, and unless you have some very specific condition, the body will start getting rid of alcohol way quicker than you will be consuming it, through any means necessary.
Drinking a lot is still dangerous, but mostly due to drunken behaviour.
You’re indeed right that drugs should be consumed responsibly, and alcohol is poison, but it’s also not that dangerous, unless it’s an addiction.

There is a big difference if it’s a periodic activity or a one time party thing. If it’s a one time one, it’s not a big deal, apart from heavy hangover afterwards.

Take it from someone who actually experienced living in a remote isolated place. It’s as far as peaceful, healthy, and quiet lives you can imagine. You’re not a druid from a larp, and you’re not an animal born in a ditch, you will not be in “harmony” with nature, whatever the fuck you mean by it, you will be in a constant opposition to it, in a fight for your life, and “the nature” will consume you in the end. I know you’re not one of those people who actually thrives in that environment, I know it because we’re talking on the internet, and weird forest isolationists don’t talk to other people on the internet.
All that remote hut bullshit is a sham perpetuated by antisocial weirdos and scammers that sell buckets of prep food you can shit in.

Isolated hut in the woods is about the farthest thing from peaceful and quiet you can get.

Oh, a bunch of people really believe they can and should live in isolation from society. Some of them really are. Most of them have or about to have a mental illness that is exacerbated by fearmongering from all the weird groups, and isolation transitions them from kinda weird guys that need a bit of help, to full on psychos. Just look what a little bit of covid isolation did to so many people, and they had zoom.
Of course I couldn’t “hack it” in social isolation, but neither do you, and your doordash comment only shows that you actually have very little idea what you’re talking about.

Nah, fuck this. This isolationist mentality from larpers is what lead us to this fucking mess. This is fucking terrible, and people shouldn’t be living in this shit, and 99% of those who tried know it.

With good enough infrastructure and with good enough working culture, it stops being a problem. More transport options, more units in rush hours, better logistics, morr flexible hours, that sort of things

Something that has actual intelligence, or at least significant portion of building blocks of intelligence.
The problem, of course, is that intelligence is a complicated, complex, sprawling phenomenon, with no real ways to measure it as a whole, at least to any degree of reliability.
Learning, reasoning, critical thinking. Creativity, logic, problem solving, abstraction. Self-awareness, self-reflection, general sense of self. You need most of the elements of most of the groups (and probably more that is also important but I am missing right now) in order to even begin to talk about possibility of intelligence. Then somehow we will need to solve the philosophical zombie problem, and I don’t envy the researchers who will have to do that, but that’s way later down the line.
What we have right now very demonstrably doesn’t have almost any of those. What we call machine learning can be called learning in a very specific and reductive way, and whatever emerged phenomenon we observe from that is it’s own beast, but intelligence it is not. All the other boxes are not ticked, and some, like creativity or critical thinking, are the opposite of ticked. It might lead to something in the future (personally I doubt it, but can’t rule out), it might just as likely be something else, or nothing entirely.
I am very unsecure in my speculations on it, but those who have the most robust and optimistic answers right now are actually those who want to sell you something, and most of them are salespeople with the expertise of sales and nothing more.
