If you’re having trouble following it, just ask for clarification. You’re not in a position to be an ass when you’re confused.

It’s not to convert the fascist. It’s to make them a joke in front of everyone else, and fuck their recruitment.

There’s actually a really interesting and funny example in history. The Superman radio broadcast from back before television started featuring stories about Superman fighting the KKK, and one of the writers had infiltrated the group to get real insider info, and then make fun of it on the show. It was a massive embarrassment for the clan, and really fucked up their operations, especially recruitment.

The eagerness to censor people, and not the companies pushing the shit, is such peak fascist bootlicking behavior.

Privacy from companies? Kinda. Privacy from government surveillance? Absolutely the fuck not.

The point isn’t to make them feel humiliation, nor convert them. It’s to make an example of them. This is also why people should physically assault any Nazis they see in public. Make being openly fascist an embarrassing & dangerous lifestyle.

All paternalism is authoritarian. Not all authoritarianism is paternal.

Middle aged. Your theory sounds bunk.

Yeah, you’re aware of the definition of paternalism then. That’s the whole point of authoritarianism. The leadership does not believe the people can trusted to run their own lives, and treats the entire population as disobedient teenagers.

“Instantaneous cure” sounds like you’re suggesting something super fucked up.

The point isn’t to convert the fascist. It’s to humiliate them and expose them in front of everyone else.

Yes, we need more regulation of companies, and what they push. Not people.

The same way we fight it in the physical world. With debate and education and engagement.

Wild that you would express concern with spreading of fascism while advocating for technocracy. You don’t oppose fascism- you just have a preferred flavor of it.

I’m so tired of this rampant paternalism across society. It’s exhausting.

Yes, the people are supposed to hold politicians accountable. This attitude of ‘I don’t want to have to pay attention to politics’ from liberals is fucking wild. This is exactly why they don’t know the Dems were supporting most of the same Trump policies, but quietly.

Just go back to brunch.

Agreed. You also have to make sure you get everything configured correctly. The admin should get some suggestions for set up needed in the settings screen.

I also had to provision a lot of cpu cores for it. It doesn’t use much while idle, but try to pull a doc or picture, and you’ll see the cpu usage skyrocket.

And at the end of the day, it’s going to be heavily impacted by your disk speed. If you want superior performance, time to consider data center grade solid state drives.

Get a vpn provider. Set the location as the Netherlands. Set up a docker container with deluge and openvpn, and set it up to use your vpn provider.

Voila. You only need run your torrent traffic through the vpn, and it’ll be on its own kill switch.

All it needs to do is produce less flaws than the average human. It’s already passed that mark for many general use cases (which many people said would never happen). The criticism is now moving to more and more specialized work, but the AI continues to improve in those areas as well.

You’re obviously not interacting with AI much. It is improving, and at an alarming rate. I’m astounded at the difference between AI now vs 3 years ago. They’re moving to new generations in a matter of months.

This particular anti-AI stance always reminds me of religion gradually losing ground to science.

It’s been pointed out by some folks that if religion’s domain is only ‘what science can’t explain,’ then the domain of religion is continuously shrinking as science grows to explain more and more.

If your anti-AI stance is centered on ‘it wastes power and is wrong too often,’ then your criticism becomes more irrelevant as the accuracy improves and models become more efficient.

Didn’t know about borg warehouse. Thanks for the heads up!

I like borg with rsync.

The issue is also that they’re all either run by Israel or intelligence agencies, or they comply with their backdoor access to everything.

If it was actually a good, private vpn free from government spying, the governments would shut it down.
