They still… Have meat in their diet? I’ve never understood this argument.

It reaks of bad faith and bullshit.

Yes they eat less meat. No they are not a magic wonderland of vegetarians.

Context matters, going pure vegetarian and heaven help you vegan. With our access to proper replacement can and will kill you.

For 99% of people that do go vegetarian or vegan don’t have that problem tho. Because they DO have access. So for them it’s literally a non issue and perfectly fine and healthy.

and by anecdotal evidence wise basically every vegan I’ve ever met has a laundry list of health issues from their diet choice.

Rarely meet an unhealthy vegetarian tho.

The real ones that always seem to be in God tier health are the pescatarians. Those fuckers have shit figured out.

Can I get the gains with a side of no pain instead?

I’m already tired boss ):

Never, you have key but now you have to find the lock! It’s a treasure hunt!

Your reward? Probably some random cat pictures.

I manage it with netbird.

Just have em install netbird, if it’s on they can connect to my website. If it’s off they can’t.

It’s literally three steps for each person, there’s ways to make this easy. It just requires the host to put in the leg work

Slap a vpn on her computer or but a shitty dell from good will. Point the Roku at that and forward the traffic…?

Like this is a solvable setup and forget about it for the next 5 years. Sort of set up.

The only reason to expose it raw to the internet is because your hosting a piracy service.

You can easily keep everything inside of a wireguard VPN and expose nothing directly.

No nix is the new arch.

Lol

If you swing on someone expect for them to swing back.

You hope that they’ll be reasonable and proportion the violence in return in equal measures to what you delivered.

Sometimes you hit the guy with PTSD he flips out in absolutely rocks. Your s*** though.

This is why you don’t hit people. You don’t know what they’re going to do. Humans are animals and sometimes they have issues.

I’m more in the side of equal right equal fights. Man or woman if you assault someone expect to get hit back.

A normal dude slapping a construction worker is also likely to get laid out flat. Same logic between most men and women. Everyone is built different and if your goanna swing be prepared for the other person to not hold back.

But the rise of videos glorifying it is disgusting. It goes well beyond equality, reason or fair defense of self.

It’s just fucking glorifying violent for the sake of it most of the time. It’s awful.

And to be clear I’m not saying if someone slaps you, you break their nose or some shit. Reasonable response when possible and it almost always is.

But violence spirals fast and hard. And some people are genuinely a lot more jumpy then others. You never know what the other person’s idea of a proportional response is going to be till after you swing.

That first response is very rarely. One out of rational thought. And trying to judge that first response as if it did have rational thought in it is typically not fair.

Now if they keep swinging or something that’s clearly gone beyond that initial. Oh s*** swing response.

Context matters.

Because you start with one to set the example then spin out from there.

It’s very rare and very hard to just blanket regulate something up front before you have examples of failure modes into the problems.

It kind of ties into the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty.

Nothing is allowed to ever create a problem. Then you stifle innovation change and improvement way too hard.

The problem is the lag time from the new thing to the regulation being put into place and all the damage that can be done in that lag time.

It’s why the saying the law lags behind new technologies is a thing.

It’s one of the few things we have to just accept if we want to have progression. We are totally allowed to though b**** moan wine and cry that it takes way too long for the reaction to happen cuz it does.

It’s an excusable for how long that lag time is. Some lag time is unavoidable, but it does not need to be as bad as it is.

To be fair that’s been a common industry for much of human history.

The professional fixer of the stupidity of the rich. Is a age old profession and well respected.

Just this times it’s, the slop machine is working what are we paying you for. The slop machine is broke what are we paying you for!

After talking to some people who actually have been forced to work with AI on projects in teams Its been horrifying to find how little time they are given to build out proper safe guards, rules and test the process.

Management seems to be expecting these stupid robots to work the first time every time

Even in small projects for every 8 hours of work there’s a good hour or two of adjusting memory, standing rules, hooks, and countless other things.

It’s endless upkeep. Every shift in work flow tends to create knock on effects.

Management of the bot it self becomes a massive work load if you want them to be even remotely reliable.

I’m not surprised their use in a corporate environment is backfiring massively.

Thats a tool… The carrying out of anothers design IS one of the definitions of a tool. Employees ARE tools. Its a horridly demeaning definition yes, but it IS one of the definitions. It’s where the insultive form of the word comes from for heaven sake.

They are literally tools. Even if you go by the more generic definition of just something that is used to perform an operation or action. Its still a tool.

If you want to go by ONLY the very strictest definition and ignore all secondary ones. Then computers as a whole arn’t tools full stop. Only an object that is directly used to multiply the force of a manual labor task is a tool or the cutting edge of said objects are tools.

So either its a tool, or we are being pedantic idiots picking and choosing cause our fee fees are hurt and we want to play stupid word games. There is no inbetween here. So pick your side. Are computers tools? Or are we playing stupid word games.

Batyou!

Ahh yeah, my bad. Ignore me i misunderstood.

To be fair, the gun manufacturer IS the guy slinging it as well. They are in this instance the same person. Anthropic would be the manufacture, distributor and gunman for example.

The reality of the matter “its just a tool” is both literally just factual it IS the reality. It also makes a cheap and easy scape goat. But this is a problem not just ai but damn well near every major tool has had people use to sideline the harm caused by the disingenuous till the law and public understanding catches up. It’s why snake oil salesmen works so well. Your not lying. Your just not telling the whole truth and misleading by virtue of ignorance and bad faith.

So yeah, i entirely agree. Its a fucking annoying ass frustrating piece of pro-ai bullshit from bad-faith actors when used that way. I fucking hate it.

The number of people who are actually treating LLMs as the tool they are and respecting their limitations, their problems and how shitty they can be. While being honest and upfront about them. Is small, far smaller then i wish it was.

But at the same time, those people trying to honest also keep getting doxed, getting hated on, being targeted and having violence directed at them from communities they arn’t use to having to deal with that from. Which is ALSO something damn well near every major tools early adopters had to deal with. And like normal those early adopters turn inward and try to hide and insulate themselves from that misdriected hate.

Resulting in the only people being vocal are the fucktards with no standards or morals abusing the new thing for cheap profit and clout. While anyone with morals feels shame and tries to hide it to not upset others or disrupt them. Its a shitty cycle, its happened repeatedly though history, and theres basically nothing to be done about it so long as there are assholes willing to lie, cheat and fuck over others. AI is REALLY bad for it too cause of how low the bar is to become a snake oiler for it.

My point really just boils down to, hate the assholes and the abusers. Leave the guys trying to use it ethically and honestly alone how ever few of them there are, and don’t blame a tool for a human problem.

I can confirm I had the bright idea to automate audiobooks… Only to quickly realize I suddenly had the problem of how the hell do I organize it, find whats next or make sure I get what I want.

Ended just making a janky little site that’s basically a knock off audible suggestion engine.

Then rigged it up to the automation. Can put things on the list it searches once a day for anything on the list and downloads it if I don’t have it.

It even checks the cover art, tags, and what not to make sure it’s all accurate then slaps it in and sends me a nifty little notice when it’s done!

I’m working to do the same thing with music next.

Shotgun automation is not the way. Curated automatic is!

Tho I do double check everything before first run… Been bit before. Lol

Three models my self, qwen 27b as a dev assistant, a small model rigged up to handle voice input as an assistant that’s connected to my intercom system though out the house. Mostly to run my lights/music/audiobook play back. It’s fun having jarvis control the house after all. Then a image generator.

Llama and swap on a 7900xtx.

I haven’t gotten around to setting up phone access but wireguard for remote access form work in my laptop.

Honestly it’s all basically over priced toys. I’m baffled that people rely on this stuff. I look at it the same way people do with model airplanes or RC cars.

Over priced toys that are hell of a lot of fun. Break frequently and require more care then they are probably worth to use safely lol

I’ve been eyeing lemonade as I am on llama and swap my self. How much of a pita was the migration. I’m a lazy bastard.
