I like the notion of pulling together people who are alienated by AI (or late-stage capitalism bullshit in general). I really have an indie web project to launch, once I've scored a new job, which sounds more unlikely than ever after this read.

Shame noone mentioned Gram. Seems like it really deserves the attention.

I think I'll take my clues and abandon my attempts to build up a nvim/vim config. All I want is decent modal editing and LSP support without having to descend into plugin hell. Gram might do that for me.

I just don't think they're smart enough to make a dent in an actually competitive industry, no matter how much espionage they got.

They may throw some cash around and buy their way into a niche field that actually has a business model, but I don't see how the espionage potential would help them much. To break into a difficult domain based on that, you would need the smart humans who can tell you what you are looking at.

Maybe it would be possible if you assume competent shady management, that is willing to invest heavily in human capital and systematically violate every privacy policy in the world. I think that's just not how they operate.

I think we have already seen what direct replacement by AI companies looks like, and it's not pretty. Want an image for an ad but you're too cheap for a designer? There's a chatbot for that. Want to represent yourself in court? There's a chatbot for that. Slopplications of that sort did capture some demand for services, hardest felt by writers/graphic designers because you can more easily get away with a steep drop in quality there (for a little while).

I don't believe a takeover of that sort can happen in more sophisticated cases. Critical knowledge in SW (speaking from my wheelhouse) isn't some guarded secret-burger-sauce-recipe kind of knowledge. It's vast amounts of knowledge, organized and made actionable through effort and built-up skills. It's not knowledge they would have to replicate, it's labour. And I don't think they can privacy-violation their way to replicate a domain-specific knowledge worker from a chat history.

Wow, no upvotes. None of you did, then? Shame, it really holds up well. And you will get my previous comment.

So, who else did rewatch Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World recently?

Ich bin gespalten zwischen zwei Optionen:

1. es wurde eine Steuer bestellt die bestimmte Einnahmen erzeugt, und ein Ministerialbeamter hat Kategorien draufgepackt bis die erreicht waren
2. die Bürokraten wollten eine möglicht simple Regelung und realisieren gerade mit Grauen wieviele Lebensmittel in flüssiger Form verkauft werden

Trink Wasser du Pleb

This rational animation channel seems to focus pretty non-stop on AI-risk crank talking points. Can't tell by skimming if they're engaging critically, but it seems unlikely.

And now you're apparently inspired to make a cutsiefied rendering of a slop machine running prompts, which is likened to a child being encouraged to explore.

I don't wanna shit on the art or anything, but it seems like the general AI psyop is getting to you a little.

Mit Mint wurdest du schon gut beraten. Man kriegt die stable Debian-Basis und den gut gepflegten apt-Paketmanager. Und im Gegensatz zu Ubuntu ist der ultrakompatible Flathub Store schon vorinstalliert, wo du fast alles kriegst das nicht schon auf apt ist. (Im Zweifel rate ich aber immer zu apt, die Apps laufen meist runder und brauchen weniger Speicher.)

Having gone through the setup as an SSL terminator, it did have a bunch of unnecessary pain, though I now like my setup a lot. I'll have to blog about it once I set up my blog. I can't speak to the performance, though I would care about that once I run something more involved.

After looking at caddy a little harder, I can't help but notice some sneerable qualities...

I'm using acme.sh for that. It also supports Hetzner API btw.
