@fluepke@chaos.social it should have a captcha that asks you to explain why you have your head so far up your ass that you feel morally justified to burn diesel to blink LEDs in a field, and if an LLM (powered by a coal steam generator) judges your answer to be sufficiently out of touch, you can purchase a ticket

@swagpuppy420 @monkey @lizzy yeah! shipping the puzzle direct from the company was really expensive, so kirk mckusick sent me his personal copy 😸 i'm still sad there is no higher res version of some of the early beastie artwork. apparently it only ever existed on t-shirts that kirk has since given away. but at least now i own a cool physical copy.

@nyx@social.xenofem.me oh i don't think it's going to go away *for me* anytime soon, but one only has to look so far as the global south where "the internet" has already become synonymous with "whatsapp" for a lot of people, largely thanks to initiatives like internet.org, to realize that this is the future we're headed towards. we need to actually make the non-corporate internet more appealing (especially in places where the government or economic conditions already restrict the free flow of information) and it's piracy, not more copyright, that could be the last thing holding down the fort.

if we actually followed through on internet enabling universal access to human knowledge, LLMs would be a much more ridiculous idea. if somebody built decent full-text search on top of anna's archive, you would be a fool for typing the same query into chatgpt. why would you ever want some lossly compressed version of the same thing that fits into VRAM and makes shit up? the fact that half the anti-slop machine arguments are just thinly veiled copyright apologia is actually the thing rapidly pushing us in the opposite direction. and i do mean a lot of the actions people take against LLMs are actually actively making things worse. try accessing the internet from a country where you need a VPN to bypass censorship, a lot of big websites now block you for looking like an AI scraper if you don't have a residential IP. it's a disease and i worry we are going to give up on that dream and throw away all the potential that the internet had to protect ourselves from it -- if we keep making information harder to access, that only brings us closer to the future they want, where a corporate chatbot is the primary mode of interaction with a computer for most people. they already have the training data. the best way to fight back is to pirate more books.
