the most incoherent piece of code you have seen in your life, taken directly from the Book of the Death

The OG blackbox

These big websites are all AI generated now.

I don’t even see the point.

Why the hell would I want to go to your site to read the output of an AI. If I would like to do that I would go directly to ask the AI myself. It’s stupid beyond measure.

I partially agree. If forced by stupid management results would clearly be worse.

Also people using LLM as search engines have a lot to do with internet entshitification. Surfing the web have become so obnoxious that asking an LLM the answer to something is easier.

This have two obvious conclusions from my point of view. First is that the best scenario would be a not entshitified internet. Second is that when LLMs, specially the big ones owned by big companies, get their dose of entshitification, users will be back on square one of not having a good way of extracting information out of this massive sea of information that we have built and which should be much easier to navigate.

Not really true.

LLM valuation in the market is aimed at several things, making unskilled people appear skilled is the smallest of them.

The most valuable position in the market right now is as a substitute of search enginesm

The second most valuable position in the market is as a tool to speed up work for already skilled people.

And I would argue that the third most valuable position in the market is a bot tool to substitute human iteration.

Unskilled people doing slop might be the most visible face of AI as it’s very annoying but it’s a minority of it’s market, just a very loud minority.

Some humans cannot own knives responsibility. It doesn’t mean I have to cut the pineapple with a spoon.

That blog post is just a bunch of insults to anyone not agreeing with the writer without actually giving any elaborate or truthful argument on why is not just a tool and it’s always inherently “evil”.

Some arguments made can be easily disproven. For instance the climate change one.

They main point of the post is that “no matter how you use LLMs”. But then the argument given here it’s highly dependant on how you use them. The amount of environmental damage of LLMs completely depends on which LLMs you use, how you use them and how often you use them. This just here it’s showing the irrationally of the blog author.

But it goes one, next point is economics. Which is also 100% dependant on HOW YOU USE IT. Not all LLM are made by big evil corporations, and there’s nothing in the technology preventing it being made by anyone.

For a blog post whose main argument is that saying “it depends how you use it” is wrong, have only give arguments that are dependant on how you use. The author makes broad ignorant assumptions about how people use LLMs, asserts that everyone uses them like that and then pretends to control everyone lives based of that. That way of thinking is highly dangerous and it’s what have given birth to a lot of evil on our world. We need to be better, more rational, more open minded. Not falling for easy politics and actually do complex political thinking that won’t give simple answers to complex questions.

I don’t know what were the brakets. But a lot of the time, for billionaires, the vast majority of their income gets taxed at the highest bracket. Because the other brackets are too small to even register in their income.

I’m still on 10.11. I guess is best to do a few intermediate upgrades just in case? Though an user ok the forum said it had no issues upgrading directly from 10.11

Catholicism lore and practices are actually pretty metal if you think about it.

Carry a figure of the dying tortured son of god in a little chain on your neck. Nailed to a cross, speared through the chest, and with a fucking spine crown.

Spikes and a skull tattoos have NOTHING on Catholic paraphernalia.

It’s always sad seeing AI on AI crime.

I have like 30 different services running on the same machine.

That’s why you want to use some container solution, I use docker for simplicity.

Also raspberry pi is not great for self hosting. Any cheap x64 machine will be much more powerful for the same price, and have less compatibility issues.

Most biologist are women if I recall correctly.

If someone talks me about a discovery in biology I think my mind would automatically picture a woman as the author.

Google have been years seeing how far they can push linux GPL.

At this rate android will end up being closed source.

If you talk to someone who died on a tower or by covid you might have a career as a medium.

I’m a little paranoid, so this is my security set up.

SSH, blocked at firewall level, only allowing specific local IP to access port 22. Also authentication is done by key, with password disabled.

Most services are local only and I access them through wireguard VPN when I’m outside my home.

For services that need a domain name and be public facing, I use a reverse proxy, with the following protections:

• Very restrictive geoIP block, only my country can access.
• Restrictive rate limiting.
• Crodwsec, with community lists, a pluging for open lists, community rules and my own very restrictive set of rules for banning attackers. (For instance as soon as the requested path contains “.env” that’s an instant ban, no second chances).
• Monitoring through grafana.
• Some complex services that need a valid tls handshake but I only want to use them myself have a setup when they are technically open to the net, to get let’s encrypt, but the server rejects every IP request but mine.

Recently I also reduced some noise, surface attack, deleting the A register from my second level domain and using an obscured target for the CNAME records. I also want to delete the www subdomain as it gets a lot of uneeded noise.

AI didn’t solve it. Mathematicians working for OpenAI who signed NDA agreements took these other mathematicians idea and developed into a more complete prove to market the company share value.

These OpenAI mathematicians might or might not used a LLM to more or less extension to develop this prove. There is no evidence on how helpful was the LLM to the whole process.

You have anything online you will be hammered by bots trying to get through. That’s the sad reality of the world we live on. It has been like that forever. I get hundreds of bot malicious scans on my server each day.

All that’s left is to secure everything as hard as you can so they cannot break through.

I’m more of a Matrix believer.

I hope I get a nice pod with views over the human farms.
