I mean, there’s at least two other ways.

<unwarranted rage No way…

This is the wildest syntax I’ve ever seen! At first, I thought it was unparsable nonsense. Then I realized that your tags are capital-letter-terminated. Is this from a language I don’t know or have you unwittingly cooked up a piece of a cursed programming language? If the latter, I propose Slorp as its name.

One more account I don’t have to trouble myself with deleting. Neat!

I keep a pregenerated list of on-theme names and just cross them off as they get used. It’s the perfect crime.

I’ve used them for years with literally zero issues. Performance a for a cheap VPS. And since all the real work happens on my machines, if they enshittify, I can easily move elsewhere.

What a dumb shit. At my school, it was well-known that international students were essentially subsidizing the domestic students and scholarship funds because they paid higher tuition without the benefit of student aid.

$20 camp shower and a storage bin solves the mank, but I burn easy, so its a yes and situation for me. :)

I’m literally taking a break from the sun, packing out from a regional burn at this very moment. So many incredible stories and incredible people. Lots of cool, kind people who are just excited to share something they’re excited about with others (especially at smaller events/regionals).

My hard earned wisdom is that you are not an audience member at a burn- you’re a participant, an integral part of the experience for everyone else, so don’t be afraid to talk to folks and to join in on whatever shenanigans are going down. Also, bring more sunscreen than you think you’ll need and apply it more often than you think you should.

If only we had received a large influx of socialists and anarchists. <sigh>

Incredible!

Better get while the gettin’s good on that one though. Even if the price stays the same, the value of that free admission appears to be set to diminish rapidly.

With respect, this is a short-sighted take. There’s literally no legitimate crime that is made worse because a person tried to avoid it being detected. Plot a murder over tor? Not a good look. But in what universe is someone less morally culpable because they just posted on craigslist?

On the other hand, allowing the use of encryption or other privacy methods to affect the criminality or punishment assigned to an action just creates a backdoor to criminalizing privacy itself. Allowing that serves no real purpose in deterring folks from hurting others, but it sure does further the interests of an oppressive or authoritarian regime.

Pretty close.

This is unlikely to be helpful, but it tastes almost exactly like HP sauce.

Voters in the U.S. would, unfortunately, continue to believe that locking people up in torturous conditions for decades is both an effective and just means of dealing with antisocial behavior, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

Honestly, I think this will be a bigger boon to folks like Elevated Access than to the billionaires of the world. Makes it a little harder for some chud who doesn’t like what they’re doing to show up at a pilot’s home with a rifle.

I think the point you’re missing is that without the monetary incentive that arises under capitalism, there would be very little drive for anyone to build these wasteful AI systems. It’s difficult to imagine a group of people voluntarily amassing and then using the resources necessary for “AI” absent the desire to cash in on their investment. So you’re correct that an alternative economic system won’t “magically” make LLMs go away. I think it unlikely, however, that such wasteful nonsense would be used on any meaningful scale absent the perverse incentives of capitalism.

Friendly reminder to everyone: What is pictured in this image is not a molotov, but a self-immolation device that is likely to explode in the hand.

A molotov, on the other hand, consists of a sealed bottle of fuel with a flaming cloth wrapped around it, which prevents ignition of its contents prior to impact.
