  • Donation Controversy

    Jump

  • It should be clear by now how the party donation relates to this. Mullvad does not condone it, nor condemn it. It most likely was a bad idea; most things where there are a multitude of conflicting opinions necessarily are. But societies need a great diversity of ideas, initiatives and organizations who can be tested and sifted until the best ones remain. Ideally through rational debate.

    Daniel's rationale and points of view can be read on his personal blog.

    Mullvad will continue to keep its values and mission separate from the broader views of its founders. Not least because the founders have always been in strong disagreement on important issues, including this one. This narrow focus has served us well for 17 years and will do so going forward too.

    So they said nothing at all?

  • I think this might be some heavy weight companies doing this, blocking their proxy nodes might be an option, or captchas to create posts, registrations, comments, etc.

    They are automating sending these posts, like in the log on the screenshot, fortunately my instance is private.

  • Everyone Is Wrong About AI Except Me

  • What you are describing seem to be recursive self learning

    I'm talking in general, not applied to this specific case, just what is the minimum for a cognitive process to be able to reach this specific type of knowledge. Consciousness at least has a recognition of itself, a "minimal" generalized definition.

    More related to how to define such a system in general and what it takes.

  • I'm going to sound crazy (because I am), but I think counciousness can only be created by a specific kind of cognitive process, that the "brain" is automatically connected and receive direct information from it's behaviour.

    Like, if a cognitive process, imagine an undescribed algorithm, receives immediate information from it's behaviour and automatically acts upon itself, changing the algorithm itself, so it can relate cause and effect, being the only basic form of interaction that can produce this cognitive process, the basis for any higher function as "I (internal) interact (made something) with the world (the outside reaction to what I made)".

    This would mean that counciousness would need this step, not that this step would necessarily create counciousness.

    These LLMs are prebaked dictionaries in this form of view.

  • In your scenario, I would prefer to tunnel to the outside, as it could be risky to just open a port on your router and open a port on your computer. In this case, pointing the IP to a vps that your PC tunnels to or putting the record in cloudflares DNS, that way no automatic port searcher will try to nuke your network. There is dynamic DNS too.

    There is cloudflare and other options too.

    Edit: I do this with cloudflare, but privacy is very much not given with them.

  • While it might be technically true, it's missing a whole bunch of steps in the middle for it to be a practicality.

    As I said in my comment:

    But no one wants to do that.

    And about this:

    And that was just off of the top of my head.

    Beef is the major factor in the amazon, by a large margin, as in my original comment. Palm Oil is not a significant part in Brazil, nor real state. Mineral is mainly in Roraima, but not as big as beef, because it's based on small operations, there are a lot of sources on this for gold mining and the local Yanomami indigenous population that fights agains this (as this is done on their land).

  • Producing beef is the most inefficient way to produce food, in both use of space and water, and energy. We don't need to impose things on people if humanity reduces its beef consumption.

    If we cut beef consumption by half, literally oligarchs would not have an economic reason to deforest the Amazon, because of the price drops. But no one wants to do that.

    Developing nations have proven to increase their carbon footprints over time, e.g. China, so the fact that they're the fastest growing populations on earth is a serious issue

    You're conflating a lot of words, gives an example for China, while Chinas population is not growing even (or will start to diminish on some years), associating different things into the same sentence is hard to pick what exactly you're talking about, China or Africa (the last place where population growth is happening at large beyond the 2.1 fertility rate).

  • It's not the growth of ethanol (maize) and animal feed (soybeans) producing crops on the last 30 years, highly fucking inefficient and produced in the worst way possible, not even that pasture uses A LOT more land than agriculture while being a lot less energy dense, both using a lot more water than producing direct food, it's the poors.

    Edit: And also, beef is the major cause for deforestation too:

  • Exactly.

    Computers are means of production, just now that they're advancing, like they did with all other industries.

    The capitalists are taking control on what they think is theirs, this machine is only useful to give money to them, and the code we write to build it is now being taken control by these LLMs, to destroy our power over what we build. If this situation change, to them taking every bit of control by the LLMs being what is advertised to everyone, the workers and people that use everything that's built by or for computers will just be these factory workers of before. A LLM don't say no, it does what who controls it says, on our computers or on any computer.

    Edit 2: Just like with the factories, instead of building on what we think is the best way, the LLMs build it for us, a machine for us to just throw things at it. This is easier to control than a senior dev that doesn't like that what he builds, and how he builds it, bombs people.

    I'm not against completely open models (training data and weights), just that these corporate and capitalist models are the total control over the means of production computation.

    Edit: And Canonical and Red Hat are companies, like any other, and participate actively on this.

    Hobsbawm in the age of revolutions talk about this change, with the scientific and industrial revolutions, just like now with the "tech" revolution and now the LLMs.

  • At each and every step of this idiotic "we will put LLMs in everything", I'm becoming more of a luddite.

    My pc is working fine with artix and xfce on x11 (not that garbage xlibre), even DoT is working with stubby, why the hell do I need this shit?

    Today the server goes systemdless too.

    Sorry for the rant.
