IMO there is something inherently psychopathic in algorithm-driven social media.

That you have to adjust all your communicative output to ”trick” a number generator capable of faking human emotive response to become noticed, is..

With regard to #scraping for #ai, I think it is reasonable to assume the big AI companies will scrape everything.

So it makes sense to build new forums of #art expression #online only behind walls of strong #humanverification

And when I say strong, I mean it.

To use such a system, the user would have to provide a pulse, electric conductivity of the skin and other life signs and do so long enough with an implementation vetted by the strongest security ever scrutinized to even permit login.

Threatening Russia’s control of Crimea—and inflicting grave damage to its economy and society—will, of course, be difficult. But it is a more realistic strategy than the proposed alternative: a negotiated settlement while Putin is in office.

Putin has never agreed to respect Ukrainian sovereignty—and never will. If anything, Russia’s rhetoric about the war has become more annihilationist, invoking the Russian Orthodox Church and suggesting that the conflict is something like a holy war, with existential consequences.

Any negotiation in the current circumstances would at best leave Ukraine crippled, partitioned, and at the mercy of a second Russian invasion. At worst, it would eliminate the country altogether.

No sustainable, long-term peace can emerge from negotiations with an aggressor that has genocidal intent.

Ukraine and the West must either win or face devastating consequences.
(EXACTLY!)

My thesis on proof that we’re NOT living in a simulation:

Continued bafflement of scientists about rules that seemed simple breaking every time they zoom smaller and smaller.

When we’ve found out everything, THEN I’ll have reason to suspect we’re in one.

Aika villiä että joku yritys kokee että vammaisurheilijan tukeminen olisi haitaksi imagolle. Tietäisinpä mitkä yritykset ovat näitä vastauksia antaneet niin joku voisi näyttää niille mikä on imagohaitta.

Good comment on #Ukraine by Timothy Snyder:

”This isn’t 1939, this is 1938 but Czechoslovakia has chosen to fight.” …

”In that world where Czechoslovakia resists, there is no second world war.” ..

”There would have been a conflict, but there would not have been a second world war.”

We are in 1938, and we can prevent World War Two by helping Ukraine win!

Hallitus tuhoaa määrätietoisesti niin hyvinvointivaltion perusteita, kansainvälisyyttä kuin kansalaisyhteiskuntaa. Samassa yritetään löytää keinoja antaa iskuja oikeusvaltiolle.

Tämän orkestroivat perussuomalaiset ja persuuntunut Kokoomus, mutta kaiken tämän mahdollistajana hallituksessa notkuu sitä samalla kritisoiva RKP.

Muu saa mennä, mutta sipsit sentään säästyvät.

I guess I’ll start preparing for a Trump victory. Not because I think the donald is doing good, but because what Biden is saying about #israel may cost him the election.

This latest dismissal of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in particular.

Liberals understand the importance of #ruleoflaw. And undermining that just out of hand with broad strokes and bravado.. Is just digging dirt from under everyone’s feet.

Jaa-a.. Pitääiskö noista kansanedustaja Vornasen uhkan kokemisen kommenteista päätellä, että eduskunnassakin aseen kantaminen oli hänen mielestään perusteltua koska kommentit on olleet sitä luokkaa?

Aikamoista.

Trump is telling us exactly what he plans to do if he gets another term. He is framing his return to power as an authoritarian effort, and he is overtly using Nazi language and symbolism to drive home the point.

This wasn't a mistake. It isn't a joke. American freedom and democracy are on the line in 2024. The main headline in Trump's ad asks: "What's Next for America?" Trump's answer: authoritarianism and fascism.

At the shop the other day, my daughter asked me: ”Why are women’s fragnances all about gentle lavender & soft peach, while men’s are about ultra max fresh?” and complained about the strenght.

I told her many men like to project power. The absolute kind that’s there whether you like it or not. I speculated the strenght of the smell could be similar to having loud car.

I also thought that many must find that attractive, since it continues to sell. Because I definitily wouldn’t lie to my kid.

OK, I submitted an abstract for kernel summit track: "TPM2 story so far...". It would be from the angle of thinking it more like a protocol or contract that all kinds of hardware and TEE's can speak than just a chip per se...

Not that motivated to travel, so not a huge disappointment if not accepted :-) But yeah I have an angle and will prepare that one properly if accepted. So done my duty I guess at least...

They are completely missing the point of their product.
#ChatGPT and other #ai #chatbots are not our friend, and we don’t want them to be!

(If you spend a lot of time „talking to“ chatbots, please go outside where people are. Seriously!)

It is a tool we use for super annoying tasks —write an ALT-tag for an image, fix my shell script, translate something. And we still have to double check everything it does. We can’t and we won’t trust it. (1/2)

LOL #tiktok measures retention BY THE SECOND.

I mean ”Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the results” has never been clearer.

I bet even now at least ten thousand 12-year old kids are studying their retention metrics underneath the blanket, hiding from their parents, trying to figure out how to squueze out an extra second from their next content.

If you want to make a good society, you gotta make sure the people who got the bam bam bada boom are the good guys.

The kids are not dumb. They’re built to figure that stuff out, they see where is the bam bam and they go there. Next generation society follows from that.

Human children learn #language in order to be able to communicate about a fundamentally internal experience presented to them by their brain & body.

Today, we are making machines learn language in order to present a convincing simulacrum of possessing ived experience.

Whatever artificial general intelligence is, i’m quite sure it is not the above.

I know everybody hates the oil companies, and for good reason.

But their drilling knowhow could be the dark horse in the race for decarbonisation.

The potential for advanced geothermal energy with supercritical water techniques hold the key for unlocking vast amounts of carbon-free energy that is as stable as fossil fuels.

We are sitting on a ball of hot magma heated by nuclear radiation and movement of the moon.
