I feel very lucky that my county has public fiber.

In college, on the first day of orientation, someone in my class bragged that they wrote 50,000 lines of code for a game that was similar to tic tac toe, emphasizing that he “wrote a lot of code”. A TA told him that it wasn’t a sign that his program was decent and that it really didn’t seem like it should take 50k lines of code to make something as simple as his game.

He dropped out after the first week of intro to programming.

They launched it with a rootkit which conflicted with Riot’s rootkit, then they later implemented micro transaction popups a couple of months later. It’s no wonder to actual consumers as to why their player numbers plummeted.

Today, a package of a dozen “child online safety” bills is moving forward in the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. The laws, framed as a way to crack down on harmful content and make the internet safer, would force social media companies to enact invasive identity verification measures in order to keep children from accessing online spaces.

Yeah. Usually videos like this also make no mention of security implications and how to best secure your setup. It’s part of why shodan has so many vulnerable, public facing endpoints owned by individuals.

But the Americans sent to fight an illegal war were fine?

I do like that Kagi has a fediverse search option.

This is the twelfth cm0002 account that I’m blocking. They don’t just repost stuff from ml (this has been posted to at least 5 communities on various instances), and they have dozens of accounts that they switch between to evade user blocks. They think that you must see their effortless reposts, and that otherwise you should block their dozens of accounts. They’re entitled and spammy.

Some dropship crap from Amazon, unfortunately.

I won’t say it’s common, but some sellers do use Amazon to dropship stuff. It’s annoying to me too, I hate when it happens and I’m always sure to leave it in my feedback for the seller for others to hopefully find.

Yes, there is indeed, but I’m keeping track of how many they switch between. That’s the count in my original comment. I saw them tell someone say that they only switch between “a few”.

I shouldn’t have to block more than one account to not see posts from one user.

You can find their list of accounts by searching. They didn’t need to provide it, and last time they did something like that, they ended up using more accounts than they claimed. I’m not going to unblock someone like that, especially not just to see more content from them that I’m actively trying to avoid.

Well, as I said in another comment below, I didn’t start with just blocking them. They don’t just do it to me, they do it to anyone who disagrees with their behavior. I’ve seen them be snarky to others, I’ve seen them just downvote and not say anything. They do both. I just block them immediately now because they’re not worth arguing with - they won’t ever change, so why would I bother?

My problem isn’t reposts from ML, that’s their go-to response but they repost everything from everywhere. My problem is their dozens of accounts. Why can’t they just use one account so other users like me can just block them? They’re evading people’s blocks under the guise of “promoting instances”, even though I guarantee the vast majority of users don’t even know the post is from cm0002, let alone pay enough attention to read what instance the cm0002 account is on.

Wow, I didn’t know that. The Rivian has a button that just opens the frunk with hydrolics. Seems like Ford just wanted it to be as close to an ICE vehicle as possible, maybe for manufacturing reasons?

Asking for evidence of extraordinary claims = trolling. Got it.

“Agentic LLMs” is just a corporate buzzword. It’s meaningless, because by the very nature of LLMs, they do not “think”. It’s simply not possible. Deep learning models, maybe, but not LLMs.

Also, lots of things can mimic brains, and not all “brains” are the same anyway. So what brain are we talking about here?

How am I trolling by asking for legitimate evidence to cover your claims?

I’m really not trolling, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Since it’s not clear in my original comment (that’s on me), I didn’t just start by blocking them immediately, and it’s not something that they have done to just me either. I’ve seen them be snarky to other people complaining, I’ve seen them ignore people complaining and just downvoting them instead. They do both.

I honestly don’t care about reposts from ML. I try not to go there, and I have many of their communities blocked anyway. They don’t just repost from ML, even though that’s their classic, go to response. They repost everything from everywhere.

If it was just the reposts, I’d just block them and move on. But they make it so I quite literally can’t just move on. I’ve blocked 11 of their accounts. That’s the problem I have.

So list a single peer reviewed study that shows a deep learning model with free agency (like a human)? I’m not asking for all of them.

Please understand that I know what deep learning models are, and that they aren’t LLMs. I don’t know how else to say it at this point. Just because they can “learn” does not mean that they’re automatically doing it like a human. It doesn’t mean that they have agency in the same way either.
