Its always Cruz.

Ha, that’s pretty optimistic to think after all this that democracy and voting will still be part of the picture.

It looked like from comments that’s why he made the Ollama integration optional, because some people were concerned since Ollama was built by Meta. It can run without Ollama, it seems.

EDIT: Doing more research on Ollama itself, I’m unconvinced that it’s sharing any data, despite being built by Meta.

This will probably help anyone unfamiliar with it, since the first search result for Alpaca AI is another online paid AI service which does something entirely different than this. It’s used for AI image generation.

The main question I have is since Ollama is optional… If you optionally use it, is it still sharing data with Facebook Meta?

Double post

The only time a hacker is going to target you like this is if you’re an extremely high value target like a CEO or if you’re in the crosshairs of a nation-state. The average hacker isn’t going to waste this kind of effort to hack someone with $200 in their bank account and no power over anything or anyone.

And this is why people wanted headphone jacks… and also why corporations didn’t want them.

This is a very important point. There is a reason there is a “cultural victory” in the Civilization games and the UK is definitely ceding cultural influence with this move.

Semi-related: I use a music stand as a “monitor” for textbooks that I use for reference while working at my desktop. I have it at the same height as the rest of my monitors so I can just swivel my head to see it. I call it my “book monitor.”

Gotta get that TV loicense.

The saddest takeaway here for me is that we’ve created such a cruel, heartless world for humans that people feel so little love from other humans. There’s literally billions of us, and these people are left wanting.

The better question should probably be: Why are humans so broken and why aren’t we doing more to fix that instead of making “perfect” companions for them that actually seem to care about their well-being?

The rich kids just pay poor kids to write their research papers anyway so it’s always wholly original. That’s what they’ve been doing for decades. I had a friend who wrote research papers for wealthy kids to finance his Masters degree in the early 2000s.

It’s only the average kids who can afford access to the AI and use that instead of another person.

Remember, these are the people who claim to be against “cancel culture” out here trying to cancel someone for their religion.

I fucking hate this shit. It’s so painfully transparent.

It still does, but I do understand people’s displeasure with snaps.

Ubuntu in the corner, crying.

Linux users: “Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!”

Who’d have guessed that Musk’s promise to “maximize free speech” was just a dogwhistle to allow the worst of society to say all the worst things with no pushback.

Oh yeah I guess everyone guessed that. None of these fucks cares about “free speech” they want “free speech without consequences specifically for me, but definitely consequences for the speech of people I don’t like.”

Reppin argyle socks instead of the classic striped, hell yeah.

Seriously, there’s a reason there’s been horror stories of people crying at their desks at Amazon since the early 2000’s. Because they’ve always treated everyone like they’re completely expendable at all times. Horrific work culture.

SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder’s positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he’s also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I’ve lost receipts to that

Unrelated to the main points I kind of always thought SimpleX seemed sketchy…

more people are using it than ever

We’re making more money than ever! But what if we could make even morer money than ever!?
