Conversations can drift to adjacent topics, yeah, but it's not a "gotcha" when someone suddenly changes the topic to the inverse of what was being said, and then acts like they're arguing against you because the thing that you said about the original topic doesn't add up with the new topic. If you change the topic, you need to at least give the other person an opportunity to respond to your new topic, not just assume that their same argument applies.

Yeah, exactly. This graphic is really bad. I guess it's supposed to be incorrect, but it sends a bad message. Also, the only people calling anyone "shitlibs" are literal tankies. Sane leftists don't call anyone "shitlib." Any leftist to the right of my on the spectrum is probably considered center-left. I prefer democratic socialism and/or social democracy, using incremental progress to achieve leftist reform. People are allowed to have different opinions than me. That's what democracy is. But no one can be allowed to be authoritarian in a democracy, because authoritarianism is incompatible with democracy and a danger to it. Authoritarians don't respect diversity of opinion, they don't tolerate differences. So I'm so tired of authoritarian-minded people whining and calling me intolerant just because I shut them down when they're trying to dominate others.

In 1944, freedom was conditional. It depended on fitting into social expectations, on being legible to authority, on not attracting the wrong kind of attention.

If your “freedom” depends on fitting in and not attracting attention, then you’re not free.

Well you're moving the goal posts, because this chain of comments is about "when the grid is built out more, EVs will be a viable option for more people." So your "In today's world" argument is irrelevant to the conversation. Also, in today's world, people are still capable of planning ahead to make sure they don't run out of juice. You have to do the same with gas engines when you're crossing the mid-west, where fuel points can be a hundred miles or more apart. People still run out of gas on their normal routes if they forget to pay attention. EVs are currently used so sparsely that chances are the wait for a charging port is quicker than the line for gas at any highway rest stop. There's no reason why the EV infrastructure can't be built out more as adoption grows. It should already be being built out for future-proofing, but the fossil fuel lobby won't stop crying about it because they don't want people to consider EVs an option. If you want to keep burning dead dinosaurs and accelerating global warming, no one's stopping you. Just don't force us to listen to you crying about it when gas is $10 a gallon and your pickup can only get you 5-10 mpg.

But you flipped the situation, making it an entirely different discussion, and then you went on as if you thought my previous point was still supposed to apply to the new topic that you introduced. It's not that I don't like it; we can talk about the issues with training commercial LLMs on GPL code. It was just an unannounced change of topic. Like you were trying to score points, so you brought up something irrelevant to pretend I'm arguing against, which I wasn't. Corporations have been able to steal open-source code without the help of AI, and the same issues arise due to lack of transparency. It's a problem, sure, but it wasn't the problem we were discussing. And you acting like I'm somehow arguing against it being a problem is a strawman, because it's not what the thing I said was in reference to.

That makes sense. I see the problem with that, and I don't have a good solution for it. It is a divergence of topic though, as we were discussing open-source programmers using LLMs which are potentially trained on closed-source code. LLMs trained on open-source code is worth its own discussion, but I don't see how it fits in this thread. The post isn't about closed-source programmers using LLMs. Besides, closed-source code developers could've been stealing open-source code all along. They don't really need AI to do that. Still, training LLMs on open-source code is a questionable practice for that reason, particularly when it comes to training commercial models on GPL code. But it's probably hard to prove what code was used in their datasets, since it's closed-source.

100 miles takes like an hour and a half. Presumably there would be an opportunity to charge (as in the hypothetical future example, the grid has been built out more). And on road trips, it's best to take frequent stops to stretch your legs anyway. Why should anyone need a vehicle that can go six hours without refueling/recharging?

Wait, did you just move the goalposts? I thought the issue we were talking about was open-source developers who use LLM-generated code and unwittingly commit changes that contain allegedly closed-source snippets from the LLM's training data. Now you want to talk about LLM training data that uses open-source code, and then closed-source developers commit changes that contain snippets of GPL code? That's fine. It's a change of topic, but we can talk about that too. Just don't expect what I said before about the previous topic of discussion to apply to the new topic. If we're talking about something different now, I get to say different things. That's how it works.

How would they launder it? Just declare it their own property because a few lines of code look similar? When there's no established connection between the developers and anyone who has access to the closed-source code? That makes no sense. Please tell me that wouldn't hold up in court.

If it's flagged as "assisted by " then it's easy to identify where that code came from. If a commercial LLM is trained on proprietary code, that's on the AI company, not on the developer who used the LLM to write code. Unless they can somehow prove that the developer had access to said proprietary code and was able to personally exploit it. If AI companies are claiming "fair use," and it holds up in court, then there's no way in hell open-source developers should be held accountable when closed-source snippets magically appear in AI-assisted code. Granted, I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. I think it's better to avoid using AI-written code in general. At most use it to generate boilerplate, and maybe add a layer to security audits (not as a replacement for what's already being done). But if an LLM regurgitates closed-source code from its training data, I just can't see any way how that would be the developer's fault...

“a” is an indefinite article, not a preposition. Prepositions are how a verb relates to an indirect object. “The bunny hopped over the fence, around a tree, and down a hole.” The italicized words in this sentence are prepositions. In, on, at, near, etc… You get the idea… Anyway, the quote is kinda contradictory without the “a”. Is it a small step or a giant leap? Oh, it’s a giant leap for mankind, and a small step for a man. Makes so much sense now.

It’s an arms race like any other. Cybersecurity has always been an arms race. You can’t stop developing security patches, cause adversaries will continue developing new exploits. If AI enables your adversaries to develop exploits faster than human developers can keep up with, then yeah AI will have to be a part of the solution. That doesn’t mean vibe-coding security patches, but it could mean AI-driven pen-testing. Just like quantum computing. You can call it useless and impractical all you want, but some day someone is going to use it to break conventional encryption. So it would behoove you to develop quantum capabilities now, so that you have quantum safe encryption before quantum-based exploits eventually arise, as they inevitably will…

It’s not so much about being big shocked that it broke containment. The point of the test was to see whether it would be capable of breaking containment. The fact that it did is taken as evidence that it’s more advanced than previous models, which weren’t able to. Part of Anthropic’s schtick is that they claim to be developing AI “responsibly,” and “ethically,” and if you read their documents where they describe what they mean by that, part of it is being able to contain their models so that they don’t get out of control. With the focus lately on agentic environments, and lots of people idiotically giving too much autonomy to their bots, it should be easy to see the importance of containerization. You don’t want to give these things full control of your system. Anyone who uses them, should do so within a properly containerized environment. So when their experiments show that their new model is capable of breaking containment, that presents some major issues. They made the right call by not releasing it. Of course, the fact that the experimenters had no formal training in cybersecurity means that their containerization may have had some vulnerabilities that a professional could have mitigated. But not everyone who would use it is a cybersecurity professional anyway.

In fact, you sound like you’re still in middle school. Consider yourself forever counted out! That would be a blessing. You went from saying it’s not a gotcha to admitting yes, it is a gotcha, No, I never said it was a gotcha, that was you. You’ve only gotcha-ed yourself several times. Stop projecting. & you oppose the utilization of the petroleum industry by developing country, I oppose the utilization of petroleum because it’s already done enormous damage to the planet, climate and ecosystems. My opposition to petroleum transcends geopolitical boundaries. I don’t make exceptions. Don’t pretend that’s somehow anti-Africa. You can use renewables. then ignored everything I said which was inconvenient to you. Half of what you say is insane ramblings and inane drivel, a third of it is personal attacks, and only about a sixth of it is anything with a semblance of rationality worth engaging with. I’m going through your comment line-by-line, so you can’t say I’m ignoring anything. Wait until you see what I do in Africa! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I don’t know what this is supposed to mean, but I don’t give a shit what you do as long as you’re not harming anyone or the environment.

You lack BASIC THINKING SKILLS your MOMMA didn’t teach you bruh. Yeah, you are in middle school, aren’t you? I’m so powerful I can afford to let you feed off the tip of my [redacted]. I can spare the calories big boy Childish, perverted, and megalomaniacal. A dark triad. Since you generally fail subtext: I WORK IN THE PETROCHEM INDUSTRY THIS IS NOT A GAME & YOU’RE THE ONLY ONES WHO WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO LOSE. Aw, that’s a big-boy job for a middle-schooler. Anyway… So you’ve revealed your biases. No wonder you’re going through all the trouble to defend the petrochem industry. So tell us, why should anyone take you seriously? You can’t even hold a grown-up conversation. Oh, and this isn’t about winning or losing, this is about saving the planet from greedy tycoons who will never be satisfied with “enough” and constantly need to fuel their hunger for “more” by polluting the environment, exploiting the poor, and wielding power to prevent healthier alternatives from gaining a foothold in the market.

therefore it’s okay that the diacritics have zero actual use and dragging them into English is delusional and dishonest” I’ve already explained their use. You couldn’t argue against that legitimately so you resorted to personal attacks. “Dragging them” into English is neither delusional nor dishonest; it happens quite frequently as I already pointed out. You’re the only one here being delusional and dishonest, because you have such an inexplicable hatred for the way Türkiye is spelled. Strange… I see you’re legitimately having trouble grasping what has been already said to you in the thread, time and again. Raw projection, plain and simple. Insults started and continue from your side, despite your claims. I only called you an idiot because you said that I couldn’t answer a question “except from pre-existing knowledge,” as if that were an insult. That’s pretty idiotic. I’m no longer participating in this Good. Good riddance. impromptu special Olympics. So now you’re ableist too? I hope everyone in your life knows what a hideous personality you have. Fell free to consider yourself the winner and the most special. Whatever you need to tell yourself in order to feel better about being plainly wrong and unable to admit it.

I didn’t mangle your point, your point was mangled when you made it.

I’ve got plenty of qualms about the west, about the dominant economic systems, about exploitation worldwide, about inadequate climate action. But journalistic reporting on increases in coal power anywhere is not one of my qualms. Good to know you support the fossil fuel industry, though. Thanks for playing.

proceeds to interrogate the point that was already clarified. You never clarified the point. And my last response wasn’t a continuation of the first, it was a response to your reply. So that doesn’t change the fact that my first response was not a gotcha attempt. My second was simply batting down your unnecessary hostility. Not my fault if you never read a Guardian article about the chilling prospect of Africa industrializing in the past fifteen years. This post isn’t about the guardian, it’s about an infographic that shows european nations among the biggest per-capita carbon emitters. The only coffee-producing country that I’m aware of that I see in the graphic is Indonesia, which is near the bottom. So how was your comment relevant? And unless you provide a source to a Guardian article saying what you’re claiming, I’m just going to assume it’s bullshit. They’re not the torygraph…

But that would require background information, why not just attempt to gotcha me to misrepresent what I’m saying

I asked a simple question for clarification, that’s not a gotcha attempt. If you can’t answer it straightforwardly then maybe you gotcha-ed yourself.

I didn’t misrepresent what you were saying. You claimed this graphic says Europeans have better climate stats than exploited coffee-producing regions. It appears to show most European countries as having higher carbon emissions per capita than any coffee-producing country.

Did you misrepresent yourself in what you were trying to say, or are you misrepresenting the graphic? Because you still haven’t explained what you meant if it was something else, you just got defensive and complained about me asking you to clarify.

"Naive" would be pronounced like "nave," i.e. the entrance of a church. "Naïve" is pronounced like "nah-eve." "Resume" is pronounced like "ree-zoom" and means to unpause or continue something. "Resumé" is pronounced like "reh-zoo-may," and means a document that briefly outlines your education and work experience to a potential employer. Proper nouns like place names and people names use the original spelling out of respect for people and culture. How would you like it if your name was "John" and you went to a different country where they don't have the letter J, so they decided to write your name as "Yahn" without consulting you?

Do I need to be proficient in Czech and Slovenian to point out that loanwords exist in the English language with letters and diacritics that aren't in the English alphabet? My point stands either way, and your response does nothing to address that. In fact, you're kind of proving yourself wrong about Türkiye. If I'm remembering correctly from my time in Czechia, Čapek would be pronounced "Chapek," but I could be wrong and that still wouldn't change the fact that English includes loanwords with diacritics that aren't in the English alphabet. I haven't been to Slovenia, so I can't help you with Žižek. But again, that doesn't change the fact that English includes loanwords with diacritics that aren't in the English alphabet.

What a naïve thing to say, clearly your resumé doesn’t include much on languages, letters, and loan words…

I mean, even a US-based VPN company could look foreign if they have servers outside the US, or even if they just allow multi-hop to third-party servers to/from outside the US.

Except then they’re even more vulnerable not only to subpoenas but also extrajudicial and unconstitutional raids, as some journalists have discovered, especially in deeply red states but not always…

Privacy companies based outside the US can still have VPN servers within the US. That traffic would still look domestic. The company being owned and headquartered outside the US just gives them a bit more protection against the rogue US government. Some VPNs also allow multi-hop, so that you can connect to one VPN server via another. That could make it harder for the spooks to see that your traffic is leaving the US. Of course it also means that they might suspect any traffic coming out of a VPN server even based in the US, which is basically the point of this article. And some VPNs allow you to enable a feature that protects against AI-driven data traffic analysis. So that someone who's really committed can't just monitor the size and frequency of your outgoing encrypted packets, then find matching patterns in packets leaving the server you're connected to, tracing it to the destination. Instead, the VPN adds noise and sends uniform packets so that AI can't trace it from source to destination. I don't know if Nord offers these features, cause I don't use Nord. But I've heard some issues about them, which other user's have already mentioned and offered alternatives for, so I'll leave it at that

I once started sitting outside with the smokers whenever they took their collective break. I was told I had to stop doing that because I wasn’t a smoker… I was like… “Do I need to start smoking? Cause I can start smoking…” The boss didn’t like that…

Who’s getting let in to check for abuse? What recourse do people have to get help when they may not have transportation or phones? I’d say the same argument applies anywhere else: companies, boarding schools, retirement homes, psychiatric facilities, nuclear families, churches, the list goes on. Most inspection agencies are performative at best. They’ll check for a few key indicators which get swept under the rug when the people know the inspectors are coming. If the inspector is buddies with the administrators or whoever, they’re even more lax in their inspections. Whistleblowers get punished, and our legal system quite frequently fails to protect them. And now, even the agencies that are supposed to ensure compliance are being systematically defunded and dismantled, and the remnants are being weaponized for political purposes. People put a lot of faith in systems that don’t deserve it, when beneath it all those systems are run by fallible humans and are just as prone to abuse as anything else. It just happens to be the dominant system and it jealously protects its own monopoly. Communes don’t have to be 100% isolated and cut off from society, the fact that most of them are is a result of the stigma. It leaves them with no other way to be, no other option but to either seclude themselves or return to society and conform. If society itself were more tolerant of alternative lifestyles, a commune could simply provide layers of abstraction. It could still have inspectors and mediators and contractors and medical professionals from the outside world come visit periodically, but it could handle the internal matters like administration, bookkeeping, logistics, warehouse operations, food prep, cleaning, gardening, etc., and all other internal matters as a team effort where everyone has a role and contributes, instead of the norm in our society which is a bunch of isolated individuals and small families who have to do everything for themselves. And if they weren’t viewed as these inherently scary and abusive things, you wouldn’t have exclusively vulnerable people getting preyed on and recruited to them. Lots of people we consider “normal” would choose to join them, for a variety of reasons: pooling resources for shared expenses = lower cost of living; sharing chores = lower burden of upkeep and more free time. Especially now with the cost of living rising, the job market evaporating, and life just overall becoming more complicated, I feel like that would be an attractive option for a lot of people. And if they were more common, there would be a diversity of philosophical persuasions / guiding values, so anyone would theoretically be able to find one that aligns with their worldview. So as long as you do your research and visit a couple times to get a feel for the particular community before you join, you wouldn’t have to worry about things like coercive enforcement of ideology. My point is that there are ways of doing it healthily, but the very real stigma associated with it prevents any healthy communes from gaining any traction. That’s why we only hear about abusive ones. It’s confirmation bias mixed with self-fulfilling prophecy. That’s why I say we should break the stigma. It doesn’t mean we should allow abusive cults. But by providing healthier alternatives, we’ll actually diminish the appeal those abusive cults have for some people. It’s like drugs. Decriminalization is one of the most effective ways to reduce demand for the black market. Likewise, destigmatizing communes will reduce demand for abusive cults.

Simple ain’t easy either. Fix yer plumbing, fix your roof, fix yer fence, feed yer chickens (yes, every day!), clean their poop, etc. etc. etc. Homesteading is a lot of work, and you can’t just go away for a weekend to visit a friend or explore a new city. It needs constant attention, and the more “independent/self-reliant/off-the-grid” you want to be, the more you need to do everything yourself. And even then you need to buy supplies and materials. You’re not going to grow a year’s-worth of food in your backyard vegetable patch, and you’re not gonna make your own lumber, pvc, copper wire, etc. There’s a lot you can do to achieve a greater degree of independence, but ultimately it’s still dependencies all the way down. Even the Buddha recognized the interconnectedness of everything in the world; he wasn’t just some detached stoic with a community of self-sustaining monks. They depended on the generosity of their surrounding communities, and to this day Buddhist monks still do.

For real. It waters down the meaning of the word “fascist,” and now when I talk about actual fascism (with a well-informed take because I only use that word when I’m applying it correctly), people don’t take me seriously because they think I’m just “labeling everyone you disagree with as a fascist.” I’m not. I disagree with everyone I label as a fascist, yes. Because I disagree with fascism and I only label fascists fascists. But I’m perfectly capable of disagreeing with someone without labeling them a fascist, if they’re not a fascist. I do it all the time!
