I think the fact I already have eight downvotes for suggesting that lemmy is stupidly anti-ai kinda proves my point

Let me just put that here for you to read again

well put, thank you :)

You can use it to log to a defined file in userspace. You don't need to "reattach" to the process because all of the output goes through this util. Use signal handling to control the process.

I only started using it a year or 2 ago, but I do agree with you. Every time I've opened it the past few weeks, it's AI this, AI that. I've basically stopped opening the app because it went from cool tech news with interesting discussions that made me feel like I was learning stuff, to repeated discussions about new AI models.

"Do whatever you want, fuck you" kind of mentality -- great for rugged individualism, bad for building something bigger than yourself that persists

Oh, that's some nice sophistry (a strawman, or putting words in his mouth) on your part - nowhere did Recursing call anyone stupid.

Don't be disingenuous and you'll be seen in a better light.

That's some pretty good insight that really makes more sense than anything else.

I'll be quoting you.

That’s what happens when you curate a space to worship:

1. Market efficiency
2. Individualism
3. Technological development

…while insisting that those values are apolitical, and only ideas that conflict with those values are political.

Lobsters is the enjoyable alternative.

Never visited for the discussions. Isn't its main purpose to be a community curated list of interesting articles/news?

Yeah, the techbro worship has turned me off of HN. I remember when Show HN used to be neat FOSS projects made by real people. The last time I looked, it was all AI and purely for money.

I still use RSS from HN and got very good at ignoring continued torrent of people suffering from AI psychosis but even then I never bothered with comments there. Just a bunch of people who got into tech for all the wrong reasons. You’ll get more insight on a topic from a single expert on Mastodon than from an entire comment thread there.

It just proves that people disagree with you, for whatever reason. Could be that they don't like to be called stupid. Who knows.

AI existentialism

Also, on this point… LLMs are not going Skynet. There’s about a zero percent chance of that.

And they will not use up all resources building the datacenters out, that’s going to flop. Again, zero percent chance.

…Am I worried about future developments? Of course. But that’s not where “AI” is at now, no matter how they brand it; we are many architectural leaps away from that.

But there’s a reason Altman and such push the existentialism narrative: they are trying to make themselves seem important. It’s a red herring, a wedge issue, gaslighting all-in-one, and a big fat lie. The risk is from corporations taking over or destabilizing society, using this dumb tool, as they already have with others like social media.

If that’s what you mean by “AI existentialism” posts being taken down, well, good. They should be. That’s just pseudoscience playing into Tech Bro narratives.

I hate to come off as rude, or to have misinterpreted you, but I feel very strongly about this. Every second we indulge in the “LLMs are going AGI” narrative is handing power over to psychopaths presenting themselves as our saviors from that.

It’s downright misleading that LeMMy is so anti-AI. You’ll feel right at home at HN, lots of PR from tech companies taken at face value, no annoying questions on truthfulness, financing, sustainability, legal, societal or environmental factors (you know, the BORING stuff).

Blocking the domains is one of the first things I do on a new social media platform because there were too many bots spamming bad articles. Same for substack.

I’m personally glad it’s causing more people to notice instead of being sucked into the fad-chasing and thinking it’s real.

That has been Hacker News since the beginning, different people just notice at different times.

I met so many young people who wouldn’t shut up about things they barely knew about because they “heard it from the experts” on Hacker News… in 2013.

I might be misremembering, but I think DHH was celebrated as a coding genius constantly on HN back in 2006 when Rails was initially coming out. They loved that he was the ultimate tech bro. I wonder what they think of Omarchy…

It’s always been the same kind of garbage.

Ubuntu still has compatibility for stuff that others dont.

Mostly custom images with weird patched vendor kernels like for ARM or RISC-V, but they also ship the snapdragon images.

On the Asahi front, the hackers chose Arch and Fedora so that was a loss for them

The MIT license? Care to explain?

I go there once a week because it has become like Reddit. You cannot create an account anymore if you use a VPN as you will get shadowbanned.

used to up until a year ago, got fed up for the same reasons, also the political discourse was too techbro-y

I have a feeling that the real human users are much more radicalized than it appears on the surface. Early comments on posts are relatively fire breathing eat-the-rich sentiment and those get suppressed after a few hours.

Lemmy is so anti AI it's annoying but also kinda entertaining. It's funny seeing people get so upset that they laughed at a meme and then they realize there's AI used in and they get all butthurt.

Maybe there is something wrong with me but the "bad things are actually good because revealed preference" people and similar are the highlights of that site at this point. There is just something fascinating about it.
