It’s so, so bad. I hate it so much. It makes me angry every time I have to do it. Especially when I try to do some sort of action that’s buried 3 menus deep but it decides to sync something at that moment and just pops you out of whether the fuck you were trying to do.
Don’t be a whistleblower. Just exfil the data and drop it somewhere.
Maybe the imagegen model was feeling anti-fascististic? I must admit, that does seem to be a rarity.

I mean… yeah, DARPA will probably be one of the first adopters of that stuff, it’s true. But DARPA is pretty much always a first adopter of any new tech, because they’re basically the research wing of the US military, and they have effectively infinite resources at their disposal (note: I am not debating whether or not that is a good thing here; simply stating that it is a thing). But just because they’ll likely do something military-ish with it first doesn’t mean that it’s a “bad” technology. The internet itself was, after all, initially a project of DARPA’s predecessor, ARPA, and was initially named “ARPAnet”.
Analog as in analog signals vs digital signals. Reductively: circuitry designed to operate in a continuously variable electrical domain, as opposed to circuitry designed to operate in a clocked binary domain.
Analog is (with a LOT of handwaving) way closer to how biological neural nets (that is, actual neurological tissue) operates. This is one of many domains where the exploration of biomimicry could yield some incredible advantages in a lot of areas.
What is “the Streisand effect”, Alex?
If it was “experimental” and “not enabled”, why the fuck did you push it to the totality of the devices’ user base, fuckerberg?
Or just realize that nobody fucking likes LLMs as much as the Captains of Industry want us to believe, and that the true power of this technical domain lies in more targeted and bespoke ML model generation and usage.
ML is good and enables - and has enabled - some genuine generational leaps in science and technology. But LLMs are such a fucking waste of the technology’s potential. Not to mention, I’m extremely irritated that (largely due to Nvidia cornering the market) everyone is super gung-ho about a digital approach which amounts to brute-forcing neural nets digitally with shitloads of memory and highly-parallel compute, when it’s obvious to anyone with more than a passing familiarity with electrical engineering that an analog approach is going to be FAR more efficient in terms of resource and energy usage.
Politicians are usually completely fucking clueless about the nuances of technology, but there’s something in the water in the UK that seems to make their pols reach for the stars in that regard.
If it’s not enabled and “exploratory”, then why the fuck did you deploy it, fuckface?
Suck my Huang, Jensen.
Dead internet theory goes
yep, that’s right -
it goes in the square holewe’re boiling water!
Fair point - but at the same time, in the US, as much as I wish it were not the case, outright seizure of corporate assets outside of flagrant criminal abuse is simply a non-starter. And even then, it often ends up being a non-starter. Sure, they may be forced into bankruptcy, but the government generally never does an actual takeover of a company, because tHaT’s cOMmUniSm. And there are a number of companies that deeply deserve to be taken into custody by the state, at either the federal or state level (PG&E immediately comes to mind).
That is, in fact, my entire original point.
I guess you weren’t around for the bailouts that happened during the 08 recession, because exactly zero corps who got bailed out are even fractionally owned by the public.
This is the weirdest fucking timeline I swear to Cthulhu
