Kek.

That could never happen!

looks at western countries and tik toc

Social media is a theater of war. Manipulating citizens of a country slowly and insidiously over time is a huge win that inflicts no casualties on your own populace.

Honestly nuclear isn’t a bad deal for that. Clean, sustainable, safe, compared to non-renewables.

Though old ass reactors seem sus.

I honestly don’t have an answer to that but from my understanding running a web tunnel from your home IP can have negative consequences in relation to your address being flagged as a public proxy.

With the potential to be added to certain automatic ban lists. But more likely than not you’ll be added to a list of potentially untrustable addresses which means you’ll be doing a lot more CAPTCHAS in the future

Well yeah that’s a problem of course but that doesn’t negate the reasoning I stated in other areas of this thread.

I’m not promoting trust in a central authority or government here that’s a separate problem that exists on an entirely different plane.

Yes you who probably has some amount of critical thinking skills can do that. The majority of young generational individuals today, cannot. Which largely negates the “well they should get gud” argument. It’s a systematic problem, you can’t solve systematic problems that way…

I’m not going to repeat myself though, my last paragraph in the previous message is a fairly succinct tldr. This is a principal that’s been applied and works across industries, and is critically important for building “safe systems”

Safe systems being systems that are designed to be operated and interacted with safely. There is a practical infinite number of safe systems that you can find examples of to further drive my point home. We can design systems that provide safety from human behavior and failings, the largest obstacle is usually both the political aspect and the aspect of individuals who refuse to acknowledge that safe systems are important.

Stop feeding the trolls…

End users really need to just be more skeptical.

That’s… The opposite of a solution.

This is how you make systemic problems worse, not better.

Humans are largely morons, you can’t fix this. But you can fix the systems they interact with to avoid their vulnerabilities from being taken advantage of.

It’s frozen for features and changes. Even bugs & issues are shrugged off and closed unless they are big. PRs from others as well I’ve seen.

The maintainer is semi active, but they’re kind of a dick, and tend to minimize problems and downplay others in ways that are borderline toxic.

It’s a shame :/

I like how you just conveniently ignore the part about a dictator oppression.

The key word here is oppression.

A country that is closing its eyes and deserves what they’re going to get is the US. In 20 or 30 years when the US is an authoritarian oppressive State then at that point the people don’t have a choice, just like they don’t in Russia today.

Authoritarian oppressive states don’t just let the people think what they want to think. You are groomed and indoctrinated the moment you receive education until the day you die. The easiest way to control a populace is for the populace to not even know they’re being controlled.

A key factor to that is limiting and restricting access to outside information. Which is what Russia does which is why the Tor project is so important

Maybe our company is an odd one out but I’m pretty sure that number is more like 20-30%…

Out of a team of 10, 2 of us do about 50% of the work. 3 do about 30%, and the remaining five do about 20%… With probably two to three of them doing effectively nothing most of the time.

In our team isn’t abnormal.

It’s only going to get worse year over year as we move towards a dystopian corporation ran future.

The U.S. leading the pack on testing how much a rich person can get away with while directly interfering with a d profiting from the government, which is funded by the people.

It’s just another grift, but this time in the open, corporate sponsored politicians being elected as presidents is going to become the norm. The only thing it takes is money to influence an undereducated populace.

Yep, but now that you have monopolies doing it, they can do whatever they want and abuse their position.

Guessing it’s not a dead/halted project?

No you pretty much have this wrong in fundamental way.

These websites are not using you to train their models. Google is using these websites to use you to train Google’s models.

Yeah but this is reddit Lemmy where nuance and discussions are down voted until they reach equilibrium with the lowest common denominator.

Treating statements like false dichotomies is central to that.

Being incapable of separating a topic from a sub discussion that touches on that topic, and applying critical thinking, is a staple of online communities these days.

Computational demands scale aggressively with model size.

And if you want a response back in a reasonable amount of time you’re burning a ton of power to do so. These models are not fast at all.

You are conveniently ignoring model size here…

Which is a primary impact on power consumption.

And any other processing and augmentation being performed. System prompts and other things that are bloating the token size …etc never mind the fact that you’re getting a response almost immediately for something that an at home GPU cluster (not casual PC) would struggle with for many minutes, this isn’t always a linear scale for power consumption.

You are also ignoring the realities of a data center. Where the device power usage isn’t the only power consumption of the location, cooling must be taken into consideration as well. Redundant power switching also comes with a percentage loss in transmission efficiency which adds to power consumption and heat dispersion requirements.

The big thing for me is privacy and control.

Plex requires Cloud access via accounts.

This is a sitting duck for subpoenas to mass punish media libraries once copyright holders get a more friendly government that cares less about citizens rights (which is coming up here soon).

Nothing about my jelly fin instance leaks my information to anyone else’s servers.

You can’t say the same about Plex.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby.

But better.

Chrome has a massive market share and Google abuses that market share by breaking web standards, and pushing people towards Chrome because “the competition doesn’t work”.

They act in bad faith and abuse their position to more deeply entrench their position in anticompetitive monopolistic ways.

That’s the Crux of it.

Because that’s a typical demographics question for any survey worth it’s salt?
