Mine took a couple tries to set up and I had to switch routers but it was ultimately pretty worthwhile. Came out to maybe $100 for a lot fewer ads.
When my partner plays “mom-core” phone games, the amount of blocked traffic is absolutely bonkers.
If they actually wanted quality documents for people to use, they would be advocating for Standard Ebooks or something.
They just want us to make more training data available to them for free. It’s just more fake AI bubble propaganda.
The best co-op shooter FPS I know of is FEAR 3. The story is pretty bad. There’s these two guys, one is named Pointman and he’s from COD and the other is named Noodles and he’s from Second Sight on PS2. They are scared of their mom, Alman, so they have to break out of jail and find the scientist who held them all hostage. Now that sounds pretty easy, but for some reason The Military and the Demogorgon are really mad at you, and they chase you all 14 blocks through the grocery store and the suburbs to the airport. Its absolutely a blast and both guys have a different move set, as weird as that sounds for co-op FPS.
LLMs are much easier to understand than the people selling them want to pretend. If that’s news to anybody, perhaps see if you can spot the similarities between ‘paper fortune teller’ logic and the models described here.
Take a swing then, don’t come and tell us.
Any time someone in a propaganda article says “use AI or get left behind” I just sorta lean back, look at the state of things. It isn’t even a hopeful grift. Reminds me of false prophets doing tent revivals in the colonies, but they’re not offering heaven, they’re pretending there will be a world left that’s worth being rich in.
William Henry Harrison should have ate it at Tippecanoe but at least he corrected his misstep during his first month in office
Thanks for your comments. Say, what industry do you work in? How’s your retirement fund looking?
Yeah I immediately disregard all AI propaganda that references “Her.” This is for rubes and suckers.
“Destroy Everything You Touch” is one of my favorite songs
Use an app like Freetube to deny them ads entirely.
Oh okay I think we just disagree then.
I can see why you might read my post that way because what other context do you have. I don’t belong to the “us” group you mentioned. I spent 2015-2022ish doing direct service activism and it cost me a great deal. Part of the reason I sound disillusioned is because the fascists directly attacked and destroyed much of my work as I was performing it (especially in 2018 2019 when they were a little better organized). I did literacy and library access work for the incarcerated, primarily. My work was primarily volunteer so it seriously hurt my family’s economy, in addition to being undone in real time as paper bans and mail bans were put in place. People at the universities I “worked” for would provide verbal support, but that was all it ever amounted to.
Part of the reason I like Doctorow is because he gave a pretty accurate description of how literacy access within the prison system works in The Bezzle except for the part where he was using it to distribute LSD. That sounds cool but its largely based on a myth made up to protect prison employees who trade drugs inside.
You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked[…]
Don’t go around telling them they don’t have to “do anything” plz 😅
Not trying to call you out otherwise, how are you supposed to know
Heyyyy you’re right
You know I think he actually uses the music producer example in his 2nd novel (The Bezzle).
Doctorow can write a great detective novel but he lives in absolute La La land. I’m glad he’s open about the fact he’s just distracting himself with this post, but the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.
He has some understanding of that, I think? But like, buddy, your country just went full Nazi. You’ve been living in a total fantasy. You’re not going to rethink the concept of fixers, get a grip.
its funny that he still has a weak chin in this incarnation
