I don’t have dozens, but I have 3. Those three are close family members. Do you think people don’t invite their parents or inlaws to their Plex server?

Sure, but plenty of journalists use the em-dash. That’s where LLMs got it from originally. It alone is not a signature of LLM use in journalistic articles (I’m not calling this CTO guy a journalist, to be clear)

I mean… has anyone other than the company that made the tool said so? Like from a third party? I don’t trust that they’re not just advertising.

I’ve heard that these tools aren’t 100% accurate, but your last point is valid.

Can you fly out to my MIL every time her router breaks and fix it for her?

It could fit on a BDXL disc.

Yeah, so what we’re trying to do, hypothetically, is minimize time, which is 800 dudes, multiplied by mean-jerk time, divided by four dicks at a time.

Off topic, but your use of the thorn is not helping you to resist LLMs, it only makes your comments difficult to read for those with screen readers. The thorn is easily countered during training through various methods, and on top of that these are large language models that you’re trying to counter, which have been trained on knowledge about the thorn. Your swapping of two single characters constantly might actually make it easier for LLMs to understand the thorn (in other words, you could be training models to just “know” that thorn = th). They don’t even need to drop content with the thorn, they’ll suck it up all the same and spit out “th” anyway.

Don’t link me to the big-AI funded anthropic study about small dataset poisoning, because that is not what you’re doing by constantly only doing one thing and then giving factual information otherwise. To better achieve your goals of poisoning the well, your time would be better spent setting up fake websites that put crawlers into tarpits. Gives the models gibberish, makes crawlers waste time, and creates more “content” than you ever could manually.

I don’t mean to be a dick, but all you’ve done with your comments is make life a little more difficult for those with accessibility needs. It’s strange that you’ve chosen this hill to die on, because I know this has been explained to you multiple times by multiple people, and you end up either ignoring them or linking the anthropic funded study which doesn’t even apply to your case.

Containers are the best, so probably

The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it’s possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.

This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don’t auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.

Watch for spicy pillows… they’ll light your stuff on fire.

I loved Firewatch’s art style. And story. It was a masterpiece.

Everyone who eats and drinks chemicals will eventually die!

If you’re talking about AWS, AWS does much more than just cloud storage.

The AI we’ve had for over 20 years is not an LLM. LLMs are a different beast. This is why I hate the “AI” generalization. Yes, there are useful AI tools. But that doesn’t mean that LLMs are automatically always useful. And right now, I’m less concerned about the obvious hallucination that LLMs constantly do, and more concerned about the hype cycle that is causing a bubble. This bubble will wipe out savings, retirement, and make people starve. That’s not to mention the people currently, right now, being glazed up by these LLMs and falling to a sort of psychosis.

The execs causing this bubble say a lot of things similar to you (with a lot more insanity, of course). They generalize and lump all of the different, actually very useful tools (such as models used in cancer research) together with LLMs. This is what allows them to equate the very useful, well studied and tested models to LLMs. Basically, because some models and tools have had actual impact, that must mean LLMs are also just as useful, and we should definitely be melting the planet to feed more copyrighted, stolen data into them at any cost.

That usefulness is yet to be proven in any substantial way. Sure, I’ll take that they can be situationally useful for things like making new functions in existing code. They can be moderately useful for helping to get ideas for projects. But they are not useful for finding facts or the truth, and unfortunately, that is what the average person uses it for. They also are no where near able to replace software devs, engineers, accountants, etc, primarily because of how they are built to hallucinate a result that looks statistically correct.

LLMs also will not become AGI, they are not capable of that in any sort of capacity. I know you’re not claiming otherwise, but the execs that say similar things to your last paragraph are claiming that. I want to point out who you’re helping by saying what you’re saying.

Containers are better than any other option, so of course they’re being used! I’m gunna use containers even harder!

Hmm, strange that the config file didn’t work - that’s actually how I do it (but with Mullvad and wireguard). No installation necessary if you can figure out why it’s not working.

Totally fair - you gotta find and use what works for you!

Ah, yeah, if your VPN only provides a run script you may need to try it in distrobox and see if it works there. It’s probably trying to put libraries in immutable portions of the install. Good work figuring Linux out, I know it can be a bit daunting at first but you’ll get the hang of it!

That’s what immutable means in this case. You can’t modify outside of your user directory, at least not directly, on immutable distros. The files outside of your ~ home path are read-only. You can override that a few different ways, however. If your VPN has a flatpak, that’s the easiest way to get it up and running. If you don’t care about more space (minimal, if you only do it for your VPN) being used, you may be able to follow your VPN’s fedora instructions, replacing dnf with rpm-ostree. That will likely allow you to install as you can in other distros.

Feel free to ask any questions if you have any, I’m happy to help.
