  • I have vaultwarden on my home server and I usually visit it through it’s Webinterface because the bitwarden addon for my browser breaks all the time with my vaultwarden instance.

    I also have tailscale and a Headscale server so access should be VPN level secure.

    I’m gonna be honest, it’s quite inconvenient sometimes but it’s an ok working setup.

    The addon issue gives me the most headaches because it means I have to login like 10 times into the web ui and then search through the passwords every time I am building stuff on my servers.











  • While the observations are true, the characterizations of this article are completely wrong.

    What’s plausible is that AI genuinely changes their information based not only on what you speak but how you speak.

    LLMs work in associative thinking patterns. People who speak in a similar way often know about the same of specific topics. And because AIs are lords of the common and average, these broad stroke patterns are just regurgitated back at us.

    It’s just like racism in policing: black people often land in prison. And a part of that is racism on it’s face: police think less of black people.

    But another big part is obscured systemic racism: if you’re less educated or more poor, you have a higher chance of doing criminal things. And black people generally have less access to good education or wealth. It’s not causality, but it’s an indicator and a noticeable and patternized correlation.

    And I think this is exactly what we see here. The AI hasn’t specifically been trained to be classist and racist, but it’s just throwing those patterns back at us and finally visualizing underlying classism and racism in our real world.

    AIs sure do a lot of bad, but in this case, the bad thing already happened before AI became involved. At least that’s my humble opinion.








  • That’s unrealistic. In the grant scheme of things Lemmy is small. There’s not enough activity for bigger criminal activity to occur here yet. Generally, there’s a bunch of three letter agencies who could probably get search warrants or permission to go after instance owners, but they’d need to be aware of Lemmy and they’d need a good enough reason to convince a judge. It’ll be a while until then. Maybe on mastodon first, we’ll see but that’s all speculation.

    And should we be concerned? Maybe about those 3 letter agencies, but not about platforms like these, and most definitely not about Lemmy instances.

    As long as we keep defederating from actually scary ones with csam on there, we’re more than good.

    Also if this is a rhetoric question with a strong insinuation to get angry at lemmy.world then get bent, I like my Lemmy instances drama-free, thank you.
