It’s interesting.

On one hand, she’s just standing in a public space and being compelled to move. No bueno. On the other, the machine is conducting commerce. Do you have a right to stand in front of a parking spot to block entry? Generally no, we say you’re disorderly or causing civil harm.

The real solution isn’t to protect jobs people are basically forced labored into, but fix the system that makes all the benefits flow up.

Ultimately she might end up accelerating the harm if this keeps happening and growing. Somewhere down the line, just as they did to corpos, some idiot judge will approve bots having “personhood”. Pandoras box.

    All hail forced labor? The only “value” AI strip away is a value stamped on the top of your head derived from capitalism. Flipping burgers at McDonalds has value, but it’s no first choice, and the value isn’t extracted by the burger flipper. It’s extracted by the top as the labor is exploited.

    If anything, I’m hoping AI is a fuck you to the current broken, down hill rolling system. The world will never be rid of exploitation, but we can point the harm at machines instead.

    You misunderstand. YOU can’t use the data. Heck, you can’t easily find it anymore either. They’re scanning all the books and ripping them up as we speak too.

    Big companies CAN because they own YOU. Clear?

    Yeah, it’s all the rage now. Qwen3.6 35B or Google Gemma 26B should work fine for the task. Llmfan on hugging face uses the heretic framework to “abliterate” them and remove any safe guards that might prevent working with “pirated” content.

    You can run hermes in a container or vm if you’re worried about the ai hallucinating, though I haven’t seen that happen. Use as high of a Q quant value as you can and run llama.cpp for speed. Or just try a free cloud model with hermes and see if it works.

    The agent installed a bunch of mp3 scanning tools, did an inventory of my library and generated a list of actions for me to approve before it ran. Feels like the future.

    I actually made a copy of my library (for safety) and had hermes agent scan it and fix it so that it would register well with navidrome and be named coherently. It was very impressive what local AI could do. If you have a gpu with 12+ GB VRAM, you can do it local with an uncensored model. Cloud providers can probably do it too, but might throw safety warning.

    Those days are over! Say no to Israeli funding and YES to merging the military industrial complexes together so that you’ll never know where the money goes, let alone stop it.

    AIPAC is also dead! Long live a thousand innocent sounding organizations with “fundraisers” instead. Nothing nefarious, all above board. The most moral people work in the darkness in case you didn’t know.
