Mastodon fait ton miracle...

Un collègue a besoin d'aide... il a oublié son téléphone portable dans une brasserie à la #GareDeLyon à #Paris... est-ce qu'il y a ici une bonne âme qui fait tout prochainement le trajet Paris - #Grenoble?

Et si vous avez des tags à me suggérer...

My theory:
if it ever happens that enterprises improve productivity using LLMs (which I doubt), chatbot vendors will just raise the subscription price to collect the suprlus, absorbing all the gains.
There is no way to win anything from this tech.

So my systems recently updated to rsync 3.4.3, and as soon as that happened my backup system - which does incremental backups using multiple --compare-dest= arguments - started to fail on anything but a full backup.

Revert to 3.4.1 and it works.

So I go look at the source in GitHub to see what might have changed, because there doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the changelog.

Since 3.4.1, 36 commits by "tridge and claude"

Oh for fuck's sakes.

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi le site web de cette initiative de fourniture de DNS européens (qui inclut un filtrage enfant + antipub) n'est toujours pas traduite en plusieurs langues européennes 🤔

Les DNS Grand Public :

- Protective 86.54.11.1
- Protective + Child Protection 86.54.11.12
- Protective + Ad Blocking 86.54.11.13
- Protective + Child Protection + Ad Blocking 86.54.11.11
- Unfiltered 86.54.11.100

Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah's remarks on Pope Leo XIV's encyclical "Magnifica humanitas" are... kinda infuriating and really highlight how broken the AI industry (and hypercapitalism in general) is.

> The first is our duty to the global poor. There is a real possibility that AI will displace human labor at very large scale. If that happens, supporting those displaced will be a moral imperative of historic proportions. This task will be difficult enough, but I worry most dialogue misses an even harder challenge. AI development is concentrated in a handful of wealthy nations. How can we ensure the gains of AI are shared globally? We do not have a mechanism for this. It is an unsolved problem, and it is the kind of problem the Church has historically refused to let the world ignore.
> The second is the need for moral imagination and ambition regarding human flourishing. If AI models are going to be widespread, what does it look like for humans, families, and the world to flourish? Today, parents are already worried about their children’s minds; individuals about the future of their work. These are not questions a lab can answer but they are questions traditions like yours have carried for millennia, and we need you to keep carrying them into this new moment in history.

I love (deep sarcasm) the way he's effectively saying, "we know our product could well cause lots of people to lose their jobs. We also know this really should be for the benefit of the entire world if we're going to do it at all. But we're going to just keep pushing ahead anyway, regardless of the consequences, and we don't particularly care to solve this problem ourselves despite our billions of dollars, so we're going to leave it to someone else to figure it out while we rub our hands together and profit." We're expected to feel grateful that they're being so magnanimous by acknowledging that there are real ethical issues here and that they are "thinking" about the "moral imperative". Oh, and they "need" others to solve these problems because the work they're doing is apparently too important for them to be hindered by something so trivial as ethics and their responsibility to humankind. Never mind that they apparently have billions to throw around, but meh, "we don't have a mechanism for this".

There's tremendous value to being a strict LLM Abstentionist in the current political climate, whether or not there are any "valid use cases for LLMs" (there are—not nearly as many as most people think, but sure, more than zero) or the LLM was "created ethically" (to my knowledge no such model exists, but yeah, it's technically possible that someone has or will eventually build one).

Tech workers especially who refuse to interact with this technology are telling their coworkers and employers that ethics and morality are more important to some people than convenience and profit. This is a bold stance to take during good times—and downright foolhardy in the current job market—but the more people who draw the line here, the better the outcomes will be for literally everybody on the whole planet (except, perhaps, for some billionaire investors).

L'IA gen c'est vraiment l'avènement des médiocres. Des gens qui faisaient déjà leur travail n'importe comment avant, sans rien vérifier, de manière creuse, et qui sont ravis d'avoir trouvé une automatisation pour ça.

De leur côté, les managers et patrons médiocres, qui n'attendent pas de travail bien fait mais des tombereaux de preuves de travail, sont aux anges.

Pendant ce temps, tout le monde oublie que le travail sert normalement à réaliser des tâches qui ont un impact réel.

"Que Choisir ajoute sa pierre en alertant sur le fait que le prix plus cher payé pour un aliment bio (en moyenne + 57 % par rapport à un fruit et légume conventionnel) n’est pas seulement dû aux modes de production plus exigeants de l’agriculture biologique et à leurs moindres rendements réalisés par rapport au conventionnel. Il est surtout dû aux marges indécentes pratiquées par la grande distribution."

81 % de marge sur les fruits et légumes bio : comment la grande distribution inflige une double peine aux consommateurs qui veulent des aliments sains
