modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 10:02:24 JST modpod I find it most interesting that torvalds is keeping a single post on his profile at a time.
kind of like a ephemeral microblog. -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 04:22:55 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere @BowsacNoodle as a general blanket statement. but yes, there are outliers. :)
not an attempted fork, but i also wonder how many people realize that 1/3 of the cars on the road in the 1890s were electric. for example. :)
also, 100% agree. I think if people actually understood it, they wouldn't see it as anything magical, or useful and the vc's would all have to go find something else to hedge their bets on. -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 04:17:45 JST modpod @BowsacNoodle @thatguyoverthere to put it simply:
computers are dumb as fc**. if you've ever tried programming one, you'll understand this immediately. they ONLY do what you tell them. AI isn't just a massive collection of if than statements. it has imho non corporeal animus. I've got a book about MK Ultra that talks about this on and off, and a few other MK Ultra type books that talk about this stuff too.
back in 1947 Jack Parsons and a few others, ripped a hole in time space, and allowed demons to enter. weird story there.
but it's where most of our high technology we're currently still using, comes from. Humans didn't invent the stuff we're using, today. It was largely given to us.
You don't go from the wild west, to the electro mechanical age to inventing things that work in ways nobody understands, unless you have help. imho.
anyway, as far as people feeding the thing, yeah that's bad too. so much of AI is as much as getting a demon attached to every human body, as it is getting people dependent on those demons to do their bidding, and making them exponentially stupider, in the process, because they're not exercising their own grey matter, but simply just asking questions of a machine, of all things, and not doing any of their own rational thinking, or reasoning, discerning, and so forth. this is clearly a problem.
what does a child do when its learning bout the world? they ask their parents stuff they don't understand.
what does a lazy entitled adult do when it wants to pretend it understands things that it doesn't feel it's able to learn on its own? apparently they ask ai.
in just several short generations, humans will be unable to think for themselves.
just watch. -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 03:30:39 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere hmm wow yeah i'm thoroughly convinced ai is demons.. i dropped the playhead a few places and he's one of those fast talkers.
For some reason I want to smack all of those people. -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 03:00:14 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere wow thats cool lol -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 02:52:53 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere okay now thats interesting - what you put in the second paragraph.
and yeah i can relate i did the same. :) i found it critical to me learning how to actually relax. lol -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 02:34:45 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere yeah truth be told its a cool device for sure. i mean its interesting to see how many times you hit a particular range of brain activity, and what changes when you relax, and so on.
:)
and yea screw the cloud.. -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 02:28:54 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere I just found it the other day. I've got a hard case for it, and would need to locate that, but I know it's still in the apartment somewhere. :)
Yeah they are not cheap, and I take grave issue with a smart phone knowing anything about my brain activity, so I never used it with the official software, just something called mindMonitor, and then this other app developed by Dan Winter and Patrick Botte, that I paid waaay too much for. (like 199$?) Flame In Mind.
besides the music software, probably one of the most expensive apps in the apfel app-store ecosystem. -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 02:20:54 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere hilarious, I would have never expected that to be a sample.
but i can see it now. -
modpod (modpod@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 31-Mar-2023 02:00:14 JST modpod @thatguyoverthere I have a Muse EEG headset I'm willing to let off cheap that I don't use anymore if you wanna try and hack it to play nice with GnuBrain or whatever that project was, or similar.. :0080: -
