Dear shitlibs, I think you blew it by running Bob Dole in a skirt in the most important election in history against a fascist and refusing to surrender your pet genocide in Gaza. You think lefties blew it by not... uh voting for Bob Dole in a skirt. Moving on...

neither one of us has a time machine so it's not actually germane to ANYTHING I'm typing out here and you could just stop telling me useless feelsball shit in my replies. I KNOW you don't have a plan, you ain't needa prove it to me.

"If you want to improve the model's output, you can write skill files with more specific instructions!"

"Oh wow so like a file that tells the computer to do exactly what you want?"

"Yep!"

"You're never gonna believe this."

[USA] PRAIRIELAND FEDERAL TRIAL UPDATE 3/10

In a surprise move, all 9 defense teams rested their case immediately following the conclusion of the prosecution's time.

This means closing arguments will begin tomorrow, and the jury is expected to begin deliberation Thursday, 3/12.

I'm gonna go against the general grain on Mastodon and say it's futile to fight against AI.

The cat's out of the bag, the genie out of the bottle. The fight we can, and must have is for the democratisation and use of AI for public good rather than at the behest of capital

I'm not talking about LLMs here (though they can be helpful). Seizing the computational advances that this AI wave brings is a genuine huge opportunity for humanity in terms of drug discovery, advances in computational simulations that would make Soviet central planners jealous. It's not a panacea, but a lot of tasks around pushing the boundaries of what's possible are endlessly testing and disproving theories, where AI would be relatively helpful.

I don't think blowing up data centres is the way to go, as it invites further brutalisation and restrictions on personal freedom to protect capital.

I think Chinese Labs are an answer to this.

I think making AI models more efficient and their use on consumer hardware tractable (Qwen3-Coder-Next is a great example that can run on Macbooks and has N-1 performance) is an answer to this.

I think fighting tooth and nail for LLM work to never be copyrightable is an answer to this.

I think new players like CXMT coming online with maybe less cutting edge, but mass affordable and accessible memory chips is an answer to this.

I think DeepSeek, Z.AI, Mistral distilling frontier models is an answer to this.

My ability to generate AI slop will inevitably outcompete your ability to shut it down. Your boss' ability to vibecode shit will outcompete your attempts to sandbox them or argue for proper due process.

The fight can only be fought by making AI economically intractable, not via moralisation
