Hmmm forgot to do an #introduction, shame on me πŸ˜‚

Mostly I'm here for dog pic's because my real home is @bob

I am all about off grid life. I served 2 years US Army during Desert Storm and came to realize that it was simply murder for CRUD oil.

Since 2011.10.01, I've lived on the streets of the country I swore to defend and see everyday over 13 years how homeless people have ZERO rights even when we are veterans.

I'm fed up with a system that puts money above people. I'm fed up with a country that is ruled by corporations.

Protesting has done nothing to improve the lives of Americans, its time for the UN to issue CEO Hunting Licenses because THEY are supposed to protect citizens from the country they live in.

If you post a job opening on the Fediverse, please make sure it includes the salary range and location.

Salary ranges are mandatory by law to be shared with job posts in some jurisdictions.

Also, we're way past that bizarre game to waste everyone's time by trying to guess what each other is willing to pay and work for.

This is just silly and unprofessional.
Advertise your salary range.

For those not up to speed with the latest AI jargon, I hope to clarify some things:

  • AI: Actually Indians
  • LLM: Low-cost Labor in Mumbai
  • AGI: A Genius Indian
  • GPT: Gujarati Professional Typist
  • API: A Person in India

Every time a company promises a revolutionary β€œAI” product, they just exploit cheap labor from India.

My friend in Norway just came home with this lovely old girl, wow. πŸ’œ When I asked her if she’d mind me sharing the photo here, she said no, go ahead, this beauty should be shared. What a find! I see them around sometimes but never in this good a shape.

Cycling friends will also be pleased to know she hauled this heavy thing home on her cargo bike. :)

Update: she paid only 500 kroner - ~$50!!

Jay Kuo says that two reports that came out yesterday about the horrifying conditions at Alligator Auschwitz did not get the attention they deserve, so he wants to draw attention to them:

"Anna McAllister of CBS News reported on the inhumane conditions for immigrants now held inside fenced cages in the camp."

Alligator Atrocity

An American concentration camp became operational last week, and it’s already a human rights nightmare.

AI is bad compression. Every time you run training material through it, you get a lossy summary of that material back, along with some noise.

You quickly run out of *quality* training material and start dog-fooding the output back in. Then you end up with lossy summaries of lossy summaries, and eventually all your pizza sauce recipes are dog food.

@faraiwe It's not a misunderstanding, #tech and #techbros inherently identify with the locus of power in science fiction. It's why someone like Marc Andreessen once had "cyberpunk advocate" in their Twitter profile despite the fact that there are better genres to choose from if you want to signal you're pro-progress.
