       @mntmn Same club. I only use AI for snippets of code - which of course, I have to then edit quite a bit to bring it to good shape.I mostly use it for stuff I'm new to, like Vimscript. Speaking of which Vim here - it has been my editor of choice for more than 20 years now, so the habit runs deep.

       Let's remind ourselves that we moved away from dictatorship because dictatorships are unstable.The American dictatorship will also fall, not because its immoral, not because they're cruel, but because, an authoritarian system fails by design.#us #trump

       My experience with replacing Big Tech is to simply have more options rather than trying to take it out of your life in a single dayHave a more privacy focused browser - like Zen or HeliumHave alternative search engines like Mojeek, DuckduckgoHave alternatives for social media like MastodonStart using alternatives and fall back to the big tech tools when unavoidable.This in itself will cause significant data collection damage to them#bigtech #resistance

       @EUCommission I see a lot of initiative to support open source out there in Europe.I have a simple suggestion, whatever you do, make it open-source and make AI training and inference available to regular folks.Don't build a single, centralized model.

       @n_dimension @cstross @EUCommission @0xtero I don't trust you wulfy - and I don't like the tone of your arguments, seems exactly like tech bros who talk down to others.But anyways, if you distill the model, there's no need for a data center, so who cares.Might just need one or two data centers for training purposes.Regarding putting things into orbit - the costs would be silly at best unless you do all kinds of jugglery like ship the model with 100 other useful thingsLast comment /ignore
