RE: https://infosec.exchange/@drwhax/116997238394916522 this perpetuates the power-imbalance. this is the perfect example of using the oppressors tools won’t free you from the oppression which you identified: LLMs ARE A LABOR PROBLEM techbros are in the business of selling software as violence against workers. that’s why they treat their employees as mercenaries. FOSS HAS THE SEEDS TO GROW COOPERATIVE COMMUNITIES #FOSS need to band into #cooperatives to build sustainable alts to ecocidal #LLMs to win: organize, collectivize, unionize.

I know Mastodon hates LLM's and AI. So here goes! I recently got access to trusted access of cyber capabilities of both openai and anthropic, which also allows you to weaponize security vulnerabilities. The speed at which these parrots can find bugs and be creative enough to exploit them is staggering. I recently pointed an LLM at an kernel fix that was reachable by an unprivileged namespace on Debian and it fully weaponized it, without too much me prompting it in the right direction, in about 7-9 hours. I don't think open-source and companies will know what's coming for them once these open-source weight models will have broader reach and get better at exploiting vulnerabilities on a massive scale as anyone can access them. The bottom line I think is, you cannot patch faster than the attackers can easily chain all kinds of vulnerabilities together and just move laterally on an incredibly fast pace. I've started reporting vulnerabilities to all kinds of projects and the majority have trouble or patching issues found. There's not enough maintainers, or there's simply none anymore. I've been getting quite worried about what our future will look like for data privacy. I think outright not running an LLM over your codebase to find critical security vulnerabilities because of your moral stance will keep us more insecure. Please run an LLM over your code base if it's internet facing or something critical, we thank you! Can't wait for the discussions on this!

Extremely on-point post. https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116946253995217476 I preface each OSM talk/workshop I give with a little introduction/discussion about software freedom - what are the four freedoms, and why they are important for every user (especially nontechnical ones). But I recently changed it to have a slightly broader focus - the four freedoms, decentralization, and cooperative governance - with an overarching emphasis on, as Aral says, ownership and control. #contraLibre #FreeSoftware #Libre #OpenSource #FOSS #Decentralization #Cooperatives #Privacy

New publication "Cooperating Freely: Advancing a Republican Conception of Cooperative Governance" by Gabriel Monette, Rafael Ziegler and Simon Pek in the Journal of Business Ethics. Coperatives, despite their commitments to democratic member control and concern for community, often struggle to prioritize the interests of their members and non-member stakeholders. The authors adopt the lens of republican political philosophy to advance a framework for an integrated analysis of these challenges centered on the principle of non-domination, and they propose remedies at the organizational and societal level to advance and secure free cooperation.

i think it’s time to redefine FLOSS: if it is funded or owned by an equity firm or a for-profit corporation, especially a publicly traded company, then it isn't. don't mean you can't make money. it just means the ownership should be either as a public good paid for with government funding, an NGO or, more precisely, a workers’ cooperative. #FLOSS should be public goods structured as #cooperatives.
