I haven’t actually issued it over to my ereader yet, but I have a Boox so I will probably just use the Kiwix android app

Have you actually smelted and alloyed useable steel from ores before? That’s a choice skill to have practical experience with at a small scale.

This is a good reminder, I need to upload my Kiwix backup to my eReader. I keep a Wikipedia essentials download, survival and medical encyclopedias, and a bunch of “from the ground up” engineering resources backed up offline.

This is the entire goal of Palantir, presictive policing using mass surveillance data on citizens. Tie in digital ID and you have an even worse version of the CCP’s Social Credit system.

(the best) Local LLMs are FOSS though, if bias is introduced it can be detected and the user base can shift away to another version, unlike centralized cloud LLMs that are private silos.

I also don’t think LLMs of any kind will fully replace search engines, but I do think they will be one of a suite of ML tools that will enable running efficient local (or distributed) indexing and search of the web.

You’re joking right? “making up answers” in the case of search results just means a dead link. If you get a good link 99% of the time and don’t have to use an enshitified service, that’s good enough for 99% of people. Try again is the worst case scenario.

Also, you know what would make this all even worse? Laws requiring that people prove their identity in order to consume content or pull videos… just like age verification laws now being passed in several countries. What a coincidence.

Not to mention that the scraped indexes can and should be shared. Unfortunately what OP is seeing may be a move to thwart this type of brute force scraping, and might resolve as dynamically assigned domain addresses, where the URL of a set object is temporarily assigned and streamed only to a single or group of IP addresses that request it within a given timeframe before being rotated out until found in search again and then reassigned a new URL, etc. This is a frankly stupid use of resources, but can effectively be used to prevent crowdsourced indexes from proliferating, and to punish IPs or even MAC addresses or browser fingerprints associated with downloading and reuploading videos which almost certainly have stegnographic fingerprinting embedded that associate with who the video was served up to at the time it was downloaded.

What do you mean? Primary source always has best voracity in cases of government programs.

As far as format I’ll use a link post in future.

Thanks for reposting, prior wasn’t federated to my instance.

Expect a rise in teens on the Fediverse as this all escalates. Makes me wonder if a well moderated teen targeted instance with very public and transparent admins wouldn’t be a good idea right about now.

Yes, tests like this are super important. Basic income is going to be ine of the great political opportunities of our time.

A great video essay on the topic from an American fan: Why disney wants to erase this beloved cartoonist from history

Simple difference: spiders chemically synthesize long chain fibers not amorphous filament, the fibers are self supporting with tension, whereas hot printed plastics deform under gravity.

You could theoretically print this way with a printer that had a flow reactor nozzle that mixed the reagents for fiber formation on demand instead of a hot extruder, I have yet to see this but it seems likely the textiles industry is working on it somewhere.

But how do you then reply to those posts back into the platform of origination from the outside platform?

But what about messages? When you say “scraper” what would that look like in the context of receiving and sending direct messages from one platform to another when one of the platforms closes their API?

Worth pointing out that Chaotic Moon’s products are temporary adhesive circuits, not subdermal tattoos. A phone that sticks to your skin might be a bit more palletable that one that has to be implanted, jist think about the obscellesence nightmare that would be.

Wow, I had no idea about the Facebook/MySpace message bridge bot. Definitely shows the power and importance of the various bridge/mirror projects like Bridgy. It says that the same kind of bot would now be Fedrally illegal in the US, but I haven’t seen any specifics about that, and seems like the EU just made it mandatory to enable through APIs.

I have thought a bit about this and how to breakout of silos, and it seems like now with LLM tools accessing the browser it will be nearly impossible to prevent messaging and posts from being cross-platformed, though the compute cost would be higher than by using the old API method.

Also MySpace was one of the first platforms to use a built-in targeted advertising model, and partnered with Google for both adserve, indexing, and search. To say they didnt sell data is the same as saying Facebook doesn’t sell data, they were the data user, selling ad space based on profiling users.

Ummm… when he sold MySpace he literally sold our data to NewsCorp?

Murmillo has the most styling helm, so I’m going for that.
