Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It is incredibly bleak. A good friend I've got nearly 10 years of work history nearly unrecognizable to me today. At first I suspected substance abuse but when I had a chance to really chat, they confessed to me. It could also still be substance abuse too
It's actually been something that's forced me to shift my perspective. I don't buy the propaganda of the luddification of anti-AI folks, that we'll be like those who refused to learn computers before the turn of the millennium. I actually think the technology is useful in niche and potentially broader situations. I will however never understand why the hell everyone is so comfortable providing their training data to other people's servers FOR FREE??? Some of them even pay for the privilege! This isn't even touching the data heists being pulled off in clear daylight which should at the very least land some people in prison.
I could go on, but... these days I feel more comfortable keeping my thoughts off the Internet.
Reminder to USians to download DeepSeek before it gets banned.
It might not get banned. They might figure out a lowish cost way to bribe Trump. He gets some goodies and they get to stay in the American market.
Well regardless, if you're interested in and have the resources, host your own AI agents locally :)
