Now, I think there IS a way you can fight, without getting violent. But it's not going to be easy, and it's not going to be "legal" - NOTHING you do to oppose or remove a fascist regime will EVER be legal. When they say "corruption" they mean the crime is them not having all the power; full stop. It will never be legal to resist fascism. But you can stop them organizing in numbers too vast to shoot, and by shutting it down. Not a march, not a boycott, massive property damage and NONE may pass.

jonny (nonvenomous)There IS NO LLM USE not associated with the project to seize all information as a product. That is the WHOLE gamble being made that is driving all those billions into getting as many people as possible dependent on the most preposterously expensive and inefficient model of computing ever devised. It is only worth it if the upside is owning the whole economy.
Every step you take towards building LLMs into your daily habits and work ratchets the spring tighter on the mousetrap until, surprise! It clamps shut while your whole ass is wrapped around the cheese. Don't make me laugh with local models nonsense, if you think that those don't get deprecated the moment they pose the slightest whiff of a threat to the profit model - meta isn't releasing weights to be nice, it's to capture labor and control the tooling space. Don't be a sucker.
Who gives a single shit how good the "AI" can code when the purpose of "AI" is and always has been enclosure of all information in an ad-driven surveillance platform. If you love LLMs, this is the future you, yes you, are actively helping create.
tanteIn Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web.
While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to establish a new abstraction layer on the web. Where Zuckerberg with his Metaverse failed Google is starting the next attack: Your website, your work no longer matters.
Well it matters as (unpaid) raw material for their synthetic text extruders but not as cultural artifact you can share with others.
This is a literal revolution but one against the participatory web, against us: The goal is to take away the web and guide people into Google's abstraction on top of it. An abstraction they control and moderate. It's about monopolizing access to information.
If you care about the web, about people's ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-Googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don't use their browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment.
Noli timere@howtophil Saw this elsewhere on here a while ago (sorry, can’t remember who posted it): has a few more “R”s to consider too.
Christine Lemmer-Webber@farfalk Datacenters are concentrations of power. Anytime a datacenter is involved, it's a sign of power centralization. The rise of datacenters corresponds with the death of p2p and other visions of a more decentralized internet.

Why does anyone ever listen to Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or Peter Thiel?
Because they can BUY INFLUENCE.
We cannot afford to allow massive wealth inequality. Ancient hunter-gatherer groups in Africa figured this out thousands of years ago.
WHY CAN'T WE?
Because the rich buy our attention and buy people off. To our collective demise.
