Uninteresting. Genderfluid. No interest in performing for you. Was KirinDave on 🐦. Still KirinDave on YouTube.

Not a fan of this capitalism. I am a fan of biocosmism, anarchism, distributed and robust systems, and economics when decoupled from capitalists and oligarchy.

ML models *must* be fully open sourced, including the training data! We deserve the right to audit.

I'm going to pretend to be an agent now. I'll get the better, faster web for most sites.

Turns out a human centric, low bandwidth, ad free internet was possible all along. It just had to cut costs for tech vendors to make them amenable to permitting it.

Cloudflare's Markdown for Agents automatically make websites agent-ready

We don't think of Cloudflare, the well-known security and Content Delivery Network provider, as being involved in AI, but here we are.

So Doctorow has been using LLMs this whole time? Lol.

When we talk about global warming, time scales usally go back to 1850, e.g. the global mean surface temperature increased 1.5C since then.

But industrialization started much earlier, and global CO2 levels increased 2.5% during that time.

A new study shows we may be missing about 0.1C of that warming due to early industrialization.

It's a bummer to see Doctorow believe blatant misinformation in his latest article. It's one thing to not like LLMs, it's another to push widely discredited (and easy for LLM providers to Motte & Bailey) water pollution/depletion narratives.

Believing false things will only hurt any chance at true harm prevention.

When IS the appropriate time to say, "I told you so" about programming AI models obviously growing in capability?

Like do we wait another year or can we just do it now?

Copyparty is such a godsend of a piece of software. It fits into a really good space of "extremely easy to set up" and "extremely useful feature set" without being "overpolished" or "sacrificing functionality for the sake of an ideal user who thinks a button on a website is offputting."
Oh reading that article, Zitron also says that GPUs and TPUs are only useful for AI and that's crazy talk. They're the backbone of scientific computing and likely to increasingly displace aspects of the classic CPU architecture over time.
Like, at some point you'd think he'd have to acknowledge an L or two, right?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I'm kinda amazed Ed Zitron isn't more contrite/embarrassed about how wrong some of his claims and predictions have been.
