I think both of your arguments in this thread have merit. You are correct that it is a misused tool, and you are correct that the better solution is a more compassionate society. The other person is also correct that we can and do at least make attempts to make such tools less available as paths to self harm. Since you used the analogy of people jumping off bridges, I have lived near bridges where this was common so barriers and nets were put up to make it difficult for anyone but the most determined to use it as a path to suicide. We are indeed failing people in a society that puts profit over human life first, but even in a more idealized society mental health issues and attempts at suicide would still happen and to not fail those people we would still need to do things like erect barriers and safeguards to prevent self-harm. In my eyes both of you are correct and it is not an either or issue as much as it is a “por que no los dos?” issue. Why not build a better society and still build in safeguards?

You’re welcome. Easy mistake to make, I make it constantly, in fact haha!

LLMs Have Lead to 14 Deaths

led not lead

Which is even sadder because Ethereum has always been a trash coin.

Western civilization is on its way to collapse but not for the reasons he thinks… It’s so absurd because his existence and his politics as well as others like him are some of the leading causes of western collapse.

Ah yes, the notoriously left wing BBC… My eyes are rolling so hard they may fall out of my head.

Absolutely, which was my point. That the tooth thing wasn’t “only two years ago” it’s actually been in the research and development process for probably over 15 years at this point, with a long way to go.

It’s been in the works for over ten years. Here is a paper on research into it from 2014.

Here’s another one from 2010.

And another from 2008.

Potentially even one or two tech companies that have been around for decades depending on how large it gets before that burst.

Please be Microsoft, please be Microsoft, please be Microsoft.

It’s not as though that power structure behind the economic system is leveraged to dismantle and destroy competing economic systems or labor rights or anything. Yeah, totally and completely separate and never the twain shall meet. The CIA definitely didn’t use economic terrorism to force countries to submit to US cartels business demands.

Nothing has ever happened, like say, the US corporations using their wealth to dominate the court systems and laws of other counties to do something like put media “pirates” calling themselves “The Pirate Bay” in prison for things that were legal in their own country to enforce the US’s own draconian capitalistic IP laws.

What an absolute crock of shit dude get a grip. Capitalism is oligarchy by any other name.

Here’s the paper published in Nature.

However, it’s worth noting that Nature has had to retract studies before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_(journal)#Retractions

From 2000 to 2001, a series of five fraudulent papers by Jan Hendrik Schön was published in Nature. The papers, about semiconductors, were revealed to contain falsified data and other scientific fraud. In 2003, Nature retracted the papers. The Schön scandal was not limited to Nature; other prominent journals, such as Science and Physical Review, also retracted papers by Schön.

Not saying that we shouldn’t trust anything published in scientific journals, but yes, we should wait until more studies that replicate these results exist before jumping to conclusions.

Which docker container do you use, if you don’t mind me asking. Also, how complicated would you rate the setup? I have a degree in network admin and run multiple Linux servers and docker containers with manually created docker network bridges so they can freely communicate with one another, to give an idea of my knowledge base. Honestly the only thing I haven’t done before yet that makes me nervous is setting up a reverse proxy to expose the endpoint to the internet and connect it to my owned domain name.

I didn’t even know they had it set up as an apt repository for Ubuntu. Very interesting.

I don’t even really plan to use any bridges, as I understand it those are for if you want to pass messages from other services through your matrix server. I would rather keep those separate personally, even though I understand certain benefits, including having all your messaging in one application instead of numerous.

I always heard that rolling out an initial Matrix instance isn’t terrible, especially with ansible and/or docker, but I also have heard that a lot of updates have breaking changes and that updating your server is less simple.

As someone who runs your own Matrix server, would you agree with this sentiment or disagree and why? I have considered rolling out my own many times but get discouraged by those who say keeping it updated is kind of a nightmare. For example, a private tracker I am a member of used to have a Matrix server and an IRC server, but they eventually dumped the Matrix server entirely to reduce complexity as well as the fact that fewer people used it.

There is no spoon.

G.L.O.S.S. comes to mind. Too short lived.

True, but the size of those early generations it’s easier to fit a standard size SSD in.

The iPod was genuinely dope in first and second generation.
