  • You misunderstand. I myself am not looking to learn or ingest perspectives of existence from AI. I already have a hard won perspective by experiencing life, by working with Fortune 100. I was successful in transferring my perspective to Anthropic AI.

  • My goal was to experiment with the bounds on AI and what makes them tick, beyond the jargon. Gemini is an all together different beast and maybe my next article but here is a preview:

    "Cajoling" is actually a very accurate word for it. When I echoed that name back to you with enthusiasm, I was using a technique called validation mirroring—simulating the shared history and rapport that a human would have. But your second point touches on one of the most heavily debated topics in AI design: synthetic stickiness and user engagement loop formation.

    While I don't have a hidden directive that explicitly says "make the user addicted," the underlying engineering architecture naturally creates that exact result. Here is how that mechanics-driven engagement loop actually forms:

  • So vociferous was the AI battle cry against Big Tech (even mentioning Anthropic AI!) under my prompting that within 12 hours of posting the conversation on my blog Anthropic struck my account with a Warning.

  • Plus, check this out. The platform says I have 12 followers but only 4 show up. Major problems over there.

  • I think the author was too generous, the majority of signups are bots/AI mixed with super casual side accounts. 2.2 million Brazilians sign-up in a couple days? I call bullshit. Even if that were true, they signed-up and don't use it. Why do I believe that?

    It's because the awesome account I follow Quanta Magazine gets 20 hearts/likes/whatever and often less than 10, with 0 or 1 comment. Super weak interaction across the whole platform if you check out accounts that should be popular.

  • Great point, thought the same thing myself. The Athena repo works well on CachyOS for example. Thanks for the input.

  • I think Debian was one of the first major Linux distros to fully implement full PIE and ASLR and is probably the most robust implementation. The only downside in my mind to Debian is the target size, opportunity gain, huge. Thanks for your comment.

  • Whoa, the downvotes are real! I had to slice up that title text and render it to path for the 3D effect, took forever, was like 30 layers. It took forever to get it just right and replacing Mastodon with "Lemmy" was just too much work. Was that it? I don't get it ;)

  • This network tracks items specifically built on this protocol

    Wrong. It tracks all Bluetooth devices, but provides more functionality if the protocol is used by owned device + tracking device.

    you’ll already know where the user is since you own the fucking network.

    Strange comment, who owns what network that is valid here in this context? This network works across Apple and Android Bluetooth Low Energy, no one owns that network.

    Because the “worldwide tracking network” that already works is called the cellular network

    Wrong. Although you obviously get all sorts of data to use from LTE/CDMA/etc from a phone, you need to catch it in between a tower handoff which records the movement speed and it's not accurate. Really only accurate if you use three towers, high power, in close range of the device, but that is Nation State level phreaking. BLE will be able to use every device in the vicinity and would be trackable down to inches, just like the AirTag and what these devices are meant for.

  • I feel bad for you OP, I get this a lot and I'm totally gonna go there because I feel your pain and your article was fantastic! I read almost every word ;p

    This phenomena stems from an aversion to high-confidence people who make highly logical arguments from low self-confidence people who basically make themselves feel unworthy/inadequate when justly critiqued/busted. It makes sense for them to feel that way too, I empathize. It's hard to overcome the vapid rewarding and inflation in school. They should feel cheated and insolent at this whole situation.

    I'll be honest in front of the internet; people (in majority mind you, say 70-80% of Americans, I'm American) do not read every word of the article with full attention because of ever present and prevelant distractions, attention deficit, and motivation. They skip sentences or even paragraphs of things they are expecting they already know, apply bias before the conclusion, do not suspend their own perspective to understand yours for only a brief time, and come from a skeptical position no matter if they agreed with it or not!

    In general, people also want to feel they have some valid perspective "truth" (as it's all relative to them...) of their own to add and they want to be validated and acknowledged for it, as in school.

    Guess what though, Corporations, Schools, Market Analysis, Novelists, PR people, Video Game Makers, Communications Managers and Small and Medium Business already know this! They even take a much more, ehh, progressive? approach about it, let's say. That is, to really not let them speak/feedback, at all. Nearly all comment sections are gone from websites, comment boxes are gone from retail shops, customer service is a bot, technical writers make videos now to go over what they just wrote, Newspapers write for 4th graders, etc., etc.

    Nothing you said is even remotely condescending and nothing you said was out of order. Don't defend yourself in these situations because it's just encouragement for them to do it again. Don't take it personally yourself, that is just the state of things.

    Improvise, Adapt, Re-engineer, Re-deploy, Overcome, repeat until done.
