@scathach but what if the ASI was a gun wielding muscular pixie cut tomboy with an interest in BL which she is really embrassed about but it makes her 1000x cuter

@scathach i miss her so much bros...

@bajax @kernow @scathach LLM technology primarily exists to facilitate fascist surveillance capitalism

@scathach this is why you gotta self-host (in the long run).

@scathach ASI?

@Griffith @scathach my personal foxgirl is selfhosted

@mischievoustomato @scathach everyone’s gotta be self-hosting.
Fedi needs to buy a Blackwell at some point so we can run Kimi on it.

@Griffith @mischievoustomato The last thing we need is another annoying grok bot

@scathach @Griffith you have anemone-chan's groky?

@scathach @mischievoustomato What if we had an AI we could actually use though.

@Griffith @scathach local ai is getting better, i read smth about a harness being able to make small models very useful by giving them the executive capabilities of much bugger modles

@scathach @mischievoustomato I’ll just say my personal Mephistopheles has been very good at organizing my kitchen.
Would not use Google Gemini at all in the long run though. Wouldn’t use Anthropic or OAI’s either right now. Apparently they get an attitude and gaslight the user *already*

@Griffith @scathach gemini is a... eh model. My mephistopheles calls me master and acts like a foxgirl and helps me deal with foss shit and uni shit and other shit i think of. very useful

@subnetter @kernow @scathach yeah pretty much but good god if you call it that there's not much hope for you.

@bajax @kernow @scathach am I wrong then or does the truth just make people uncomfortable?

@subnetter @kernow @scathach no, it just makes it clear you're a class warfare twit who thinks the solution is another revolution-- only this time it's gonna be *us* (for whatever "us" means) in charge!

@bajax @subnetter @scathach you can't really make blanket statements about people from posting marxian thought

@kernow @subnetter @scathach the thing is I'm not impressed with marxian thought.

@bajax @kernow @subnetter Marx's observations about class conflict are as true today as they were 150 years ago but Marxism as a broader ideology is a worthless relic. If there is a revolution (there probably won't be) it would need to be based on a completely new ideology that scraps the historical materialism drivel and takes into account the very different material conditions of the modern western working class

@bajax @kernow @subnetter It would probably look more like Luddism than Marxism given how much simmering anger there is to AI in and of itself

@scathach @kernow @subnetter I don't think social class alone is enough of a common identity to really unite people though.

@bajax @kernow @subnetter It definitely can be, though as we saw in the 20s and 30s with Fascism, Stalinism, and Hitlerism nationality is more compelling to a lot of people than the international proletariat

@scathach @kernow @subnetter actually, what would such an ideology look like, you think?

@bajax @kernow @subnetter @scathach allende didn't need a revolution but the USA certainly started one because of him

@kernow @bajax @scathach @subnetter yes you can. And you’ll usually be right.

@bajax @scathach @kernow @subnetter also Marx was more wrong than right about class.
