vectors, points, the difference between those things is irrelevant to the code that runs on your puter, it's often the same data structure. so why care?

this "analysis" is accurate in regards to the dangers of libertarian neofeudalism and at best mediocre in regards to AI. If you claim that thinking cannot be computed, without providing an explanation of how thinking works, you're saying thinking is magic. https://www.johannesjaeger.eu/blog/machine-metaphysics-and-the-cult-of-techno-transcendentalism

the first step towards seizing the means of production from capitalists is to reject their push for ai, which is a vehicle to take computational power from consumers into a subscription service.

so a while ago i started developing my own 2d platformer game engine. i recently decided, that i also want slopes and all other sorts of things that don't have a rectangle hitbox. so i need some way to created and represent different geometries for the game. yesterday i created a small tool called shapemk. shapemk is a rather simplistic tool: mouse buttons are exclusivly used to create and delete points, the keyboard is used to switch modes and quit-save the program, it must be launched with the dst-path as parameter. It is the anti-thesis to so called "user friendly" software, and it is great. it's not finished yet, but 95% done.

funny how all the SJWs who thought corpos were on their side in 2015, got hit with a sledgehammer in the face. If you are one of them, i'm sorry that you had to find out this way.
Google is not on your side.
Meta is not on your side.
Microsoft is not on your side.
Amazon is not on your side.
Netflix is not on your side.
Apple is not on your side.
Tesla is not on your side.
All what these corpos did, was leveraging your "activism" to place an ad so they could increase their profits. You have more in common with the sweaty xenophobe gamer, than with Jeff Bezos.

I like where this is going https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/poets-are-now-cybersecurity-threats-researchers-used-adversarial-poetry-to-jailbreak-ai-and-it-worked-62-percent-of-the-time/
i love to see poetry as a weapon

You may have good reasons to dislike LLMs, but i'm very happy about prompt injection attack vectors popping up. This almost feels as good as stack-smashing befor aslr, stack cookies and all that crap got common

do you also differentiate by the type of task? A friend uses ai to do boring things like creating a gui frontend for a cli tool. Produced a shit ton of code, and he can go back and work on things he actually likes

i get why they have huge problems with tech corpos making profit of other people's work through LLMs. i don't like that either, it's exploitation. But this isn't new, exploitation is and always has been fundamental to capitalism, just like automatization. To draw the line at LLMs feels dishonest to me.
I also don't think art is art, if it is created with the intention to make a living from it. I know this is a radical position, but to me only hobbyists can be true artists. Art is art, when it is not a product.

Why can't leftists read the room to see that we can abolish copyright and ip laws if we push for LLMs hard enough

no income vs 20$ income, which would you pick. capitalism sucks, most people cannot afford 200$ on non-essential stuff
