🤔 can you elaborate on that?

i personally think that primitive and civilized is a false dichotomy.

Last news, they are still there. Following some recent news coverage, firefighters came for a building inspection while cops might be waiting for a pretext to intervene...

Oi to the working class. I should try to get down there if they're still going.

I am 20, but yes I definitely am more closely aligned to the old down-to-earth movements, rather than modern keyboard warriors. Personally I've been a huge history nerd, and I like mostly old school grandiose aesthetics. But you are right, I'm not very good at PR as you can tell. The problem is that the team is too small, and there really isn't anyone better rn. However, I will keep it in mind, and look for people who can communicate better. Thank you for your suggestion!

you have an interesting thing but I think you should think about finding someone to do the outreach. Im pretty sure brotherhood is harkening back to early union days and that type of thing which falls flat in our modern wierd obsession with language especially around the sexes. Yeah if your older your used to manking meaning humankind and how the old school unions and movements used language but younger folk will be creeped out by the name of the project along with the username. I still think you should always begin making it clear its gpl. One thing to realize is this is most useful for folks the younger they are.

1. To filter out the people who do not read beyond the name
2. Brother is brother. Sister is brother. All is brother
3. Sure

Soooooo, that name. Why is it called that? What about sisters? Can they join?

I admit that I could have been more explicit and comprehensive on the political issues, but it was already too long. But I think we agree on the overall premise. LLMs are a neutral weapon (as all weapons are) but the current landscape of corporatist acquisition of this quite powerful weaponry is a severe disadvantage to the disenfranchised, even at a (as you rightfully noted) geopolitical level, with the colonisation and exploitation of the global South. But my point was that, the only viable response to this, is to seize the weapons, not to flee the battlefield. The criticism of AI usage because its coopts the enemy, is as naive as "you hate capitalism, but still use things made in capitalism".

Unfortunately many of the political issues with AI are left aside in this essay: the colonization of land for resources, for datacenters, the sociological aspects of a machine that trades truth for positive emotions, but one that is most important in an anarchism perspective is the active exploitation of non-white people for the benefit of white people:

AI, structurally, cannot exist without domination. It is impossible to have this technology work without a class exploiting another one.

AI is at its core a political project to anthropomorphize a machine, give everyone the illusion it is autonomous and independent so that it can take decisions for you, but when things are bad the machine is the one to blame, so you have to treat it with respect. This pseudo-human isn't independent of course, it is completely under the control of other humans. The domination is the project.

Whether those humans are fascists or democratically chosen doesn't change: at its core, AI is humans domination over another human form

Maybe LLMs are useful, in another form. Machine learning has been a damn useful machinery with practical applications. But AI is a political project, and this project is the exact opposite of self-determination

Sunderland has been mistreated and ignored for decades by successive governments. The population is either devoutly red or right wing leaning. Poverty, deprivation poor housing, unemployment and lack of investment make Sunderland a barrel full of fish for Farge to shoot in. This will be a difficult one. Shoulders up, warm vests on and clear voices required!

Yea, whaddya want?
