God Emperor of Mastodon (new account)

@michal@sapka.pl

This is my new, future account. While most interaction still happen on the bsd.cafe one, I aim to migrate fully here.

I am posting mostly culture, emacs, bsd and anti-ai based ramblings. I don't curse and I try not bait people into pointless anger rages.

I am a nerd (or dork? I don't know), a software engineer and I started to hate what technology has bacame.

This is a self-hosted, single-user instance running on snac2.

Pardon the source

"Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told lawmakers that open-source AI is moving down a “very dangerous path.”

His warns that once powerful models are released openly, companies lose the ability to monitor misuse, revoke access, or update safety guardrails."

@michal@sapka.pl MMmmm mhmm. Right. We hear this all the time. They, of course, don't mention the advantages of being able to own your stuff, like to avoid surveillance, control biases, and otherwise avoid corporate control.

    @golemwire @michal Microsoft had some success with calling open source insecure for decades, I guess Anthropic Is deploying the same strategy for the open weights models.

      Microsoft wasn't working under an openly corrupt government back then.

          You won't become CEO if you can't lie. You won't become a billionaire CEO unless shameless lying is your game.

              @michal I'm amused how one simple trick to check is a thing a propaganda or a bullshit — works incredibly well here :drgn_blush_giggle:

              Just replace the main subject with something other, already existing in our world, and if text looks like as an utter idiocy or hipocrisy — then the original is the same :drgn_blush_giggle:

              Like: "Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told lawmakers that open-source OSes is moving down a “very dangerous path.”

              His warns that once powerful operating systems are released openly, companies lose the ability to monitor misuse, revoke access, or update safety guardrails."

              P.S. Sorry for a lot of emojis, but I can't resist to insert them here :-)
