“AI” as currently hyped is giant billion dollar companies blatantly stealing content, disregarding licenses, deceiving about capabilities, and burning the planet in the process.

It is the largest theft of intellectual property in the history of humankind, and these companies are knowingly and willing ignoring the licenses, terms of service, and laws that us lowly individuals are beholden to.

I guess we wait this one out until the “AI” bubble bursts due to the incredible subsidization the entire industry is undergoing. It is not profitable. It is not sustainable.

It will not last—but the damage to our planet and fallout from the immense amount of wasted resources will.

Please check out the @dillo browser!

I feel it's the most lightweight and charming browsers I've ever used.

and support through plugins!

I think it may have a very powerful and possibly language-agnostic plugin system--maybe fun to develop for.

Habe in den letzten Monaten immer mal wieder und ausprobiert. Bei diversen Problemen einfach erst mal die KI gefragt. Aber es endet immer gleich:

  • Kann ich der Antwort wirklich glauben, besser nochmal nach prüfen
  • Hat mir die KI auch wirklich alles gesagt oder wichtige Punkte ausgelassen?
  • Meine Problem ist so speziell, dass die KI es immer falsch versteht.

Selten bietet mir das KI Ergebnis mehr als eine Google suche...

It's great to have gopher and gemini protocol, but why not use markdown (or orgmode) as a simple yet powerful one ?

Imagine, your notes rendered natively in your browser : headings, lists and so on, but no bloated js.

After months of work and $10 million, Databricks has unveiled DBRX - the world's most potent publicly available open-source large language model.

DBRX outperforms open models like Meta's Llama 2 across benchmarks, even nearing the abilities of OpenAI's closed GPT-4. Novel architectural tweaks like a "mixture of experts" boosted DBRX's training efficiency by 30-50%.

Last week I found out about the Gemini protocol. It's like a light weight alternative to the web. There is not much to it. Every resource loads only one file. You could compare the experience of browsing it to having reading mode in your browser always on. I like the simplicity of it and the DIY mentality

I worked on a little server for it the over the weekend but there is nothing on it yet so I'll post the link some other time.

Maybe even put up a whole gateway on Packet.

W zeszłym tygodniu pisałem o tym, że Apple prowadzi intensywne rozmowy na temat partnerstwa z Google i OpenAI. Mark Gurman z Bloomberga wyjaśnia ich możliwe powody.

Na łamach ostatniego wydania swojego newslettera, Gurman pisze, że Apple tak bardzo zależy na nawiązaniu partnerstwa z jedną z wymienionych wyżej firm, ponieważ:

  • Firma prawdopodobnie zdoła nakłonić Google lub kogoś innego do zapłacenia jej absurdalnych sum za status bycia partnerem premium w ich systemach operacyjnych. Jeśli będzie to Google, gigant wyszukiwania może stać się preferowaną usługą generatywnej sztucznej inteligencji na telefonach Apple i Android.
  • Apple nie ma przekonania do chatbotów AI, ale wie, że konsumenci i tak będą za nimi tęsknić. Partnerstwo by to zapewniło – a wszystko to przy jednoczesnym potencjalnym zarobieniu przez Apple dodatkowych pieniędzy.
  • W świecie generatywnej sztucznej inteligencji istnieje mnóstwo problemów etycznych i związanych z prywatnością. Przekazując tę technologię osobie trzeciej, Apple może ją o wszystko obwiniać i ponosić znacznie mniejszą odpowiedzialność.
  • Uruchamianie generatywnej sztucznej inteligencji opartej na chmurze jest niezwykle kosztowne i wymaga dużej mocy obliczeniowej. Korzystając z partnera, ktoś inny płaci te ogromne rachunki.
  • Partnerstwo może pomóc Apple szybciej zintegrować sztuczną inteligencję. Na przykład firma może skorzystać z usług lokalnych dostawców w Chinach, takich jak Baidu Corp., zamiast kontaktować się z organami regulacyjnymi i lokalizować własną technologię.

Podsumowując, w stylu Apple: kilka pieczeni na jednym ogniu.

@nicolasvivant La question est peut-être hors-sujet, mais a-t-il entendu parler d’autres initiatives visant à une sorte de “retour aux fondamentaux” comme le protocole ?

Both and have changed recently and I can no longer 'copyedit' my text with them. They both massively rewrite the text, making it far more intense and 'corporate' in an eerie way. My voice is lost and replaced by a hyper PR exec.

I've tried "Copyedit the following text, editing only for grammar and spelling, keeping my vocabulary: <text>" as a prompt but they STILL massacre it.

Looking for suggestions to "just copyedit damnit"

I have been on Gemini since 2021, a few variations of my capsule have evolved over that time but its still me. Ive noticed a few of the advocates at the time, are not on Gemini now. I wonder why? Is it lack of discovery or connection with others that the web gives so easily now, or is it loss of interest? I doubt its the level of difficulty, yes you need to put the effort in creating information, but we are just talking about text files here. universal interface.

Is anyone running capsule in network?

Thoughts to make websites catalog, or maybe search engine for these protocols but found only one Yggdrasil user on Station

: "Google has agreed to pay 250 million euros (about $273 million) to settle a dispute in France after breaching years-old commitments to inform and pay French news publishers when referencing and displaying content in both search results and when training Google's AI-powered chatbot, Gemini.

According to France's competition watchdog, the Autorité de la Concurrence (ADLC), Google dodged many commitments to deal with publishers fairly. Most recently, it never notified publishers or the ADLC before training Gemini (initially launched as Bard) on publishers' content or displaying content in Gemini outputs. Google also waited until September 28, 2023, to introduce easy options for publishers to opt out, which made it impossible for publishers to negotiate fair deals for that content, the ADLC found.

"Until this date, press agencies and publishers wanting to opt out of this use had to insert an instruction opposing any crawling of their content by Google, including on the Search, Discover and Google News services," the ADLC noted, warning that "in the future, the Autorité will be particularly attentive as regards the effectiveness of opt-out systems implemented by Google."" https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/03/google-to-pay-270m-after-secretly-training-ai-on-french-publishers-content/?utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_brand=ars
