What ‘Democracy’ ?? I’ll take my chances with a completely AI driven society before any oligarch **nts control…

Correct. Current society brings the worst behavior to the front, but all humans have the capability to behave in many many ways according to environment. Claiming that “Human nature” is a certain way, is one of many very dangerous Capitalist excuses. That way all problems are caused by ‘bad humans’, not a ‘bad ideology’. Problem ‘fixed’, but ANY form of Capitalism = fighting for your life/livelyhood on a daily basis, or die trying. This mechanism put everyone in a merciless race to the bottom of social behavior - ME first attitude, that harms everyone.

Too bad the rich Oligarchs own humanity’s information apparatus…

A fellowship you say ? You have my Axe !

No, “Capitalism” is Destroying a Generation of Students. It is destroying jobs and most other existential problems come from that belief system, but AI - for now - is a tool.

Only in a terrible environments with psychopath behavior, does it do harm. Unfortunately, that describes 99% of all leadership under Capitalism. It has always and will always be powerful people misusing tools/tech for their own individual benefit. That is what ‘free competition’ allows to happen. Live with it, or complain about Capitalism instead.

I don’t know, but allow me a soft rant about the ‘distributed’ part;

Couldn’t selfhosters try to ‘organize’ and share these burdens ? Why pay for external cloud backup, or anything, when selfhosters can just help each other storing parts of others backup. Then everyone have an automatic back-up.

The tools seem to be there, but Its like there are all these super-skilled infra-structure selfhosters that know everything about self-hosting solutions, but they lack the self-organizing ability to sollve these typical - and a bit trivial, lets be honest - problems in a full p2p style. The result looks to be that all self-hostings solution above the threshold of an average individual selhoster, have to be done in the cloud, and everyone is ‘siloed’ in their own mini data center.

But, with existing tools, AI and a little imagination, it shouldn’t be too hard to ‘organize’ a little (though here) design a self-hosting p2p backup solution from existing tools. …or a solution for most of the other cloud services we still rely on…

But maybe its something else ? …to me, it just seems unnecessary for a high expertise self-hoster community that - when combined - are an absolute gargantuan cloud-service infrastructure …to still have such basic capacity issues (no offense meant to op, or anyone!), and still have so high reliance on cloud services. Seems odd to me…

Too bad, but we just have to live with open source being used for shitty purposes also.

disroot.org have all but backup, I think. You have to give a little for larger storage etc, but check them out, they have the right spirit.

Paywalled, so thanks for archive !

Interesting, but unfortunately, they don’t reveal the interesting part on how they are going to radiate away that amount of heat from a low working temperature of ~80+/- C. I would assume they have to concentrate the heat with heat pumps, into a very high point-temp with higher radiation efficiency. But that also cost energy and create heat, so the heat balance in space can be tricky.

I think it is unethical to pay (or demand payment) for things that can be copied freely. It’s a joke, insanity, a depraved legacy/necessity from the Blue Church.

Enough with the Chinese scaremongering. It is getting hysterical !

Skimmed a little, but the conclusion sounds correct. Environmental pressures lowers our cognitive abilities, reduces our cognitive load threshold. Besides the cognitive load problem for all lower classes, people are also filled with bad information/values from their media landscape. Lastly there’s “Spite”.

Inability of the observer: lower stress threshold -> brain deficits. Confirmation bias, anger etc, and can counter a change. Value-disorder: Psychopathy/Spite (make others hurt more than one self), belief in ideological Dogmas that prevent a change towards better. Social/Cultural pressures: being in-group vs out-group Information: Missing or wrong information from a media landscape that doesn’t make money by selling truth/accuracy.

There are other ways of ordering them, but we don’t make ‘free choices’ as is widely believed. Even if we say that we ‘control’ 10% of our behavior, 90% of our choices are always context dependent, and have a cause. Most of the causes originates, or are amplified in current societies.

Our apparent stupidity all come from the environment/society we have ‘chosen’. So yes, we have to change the system that generates all these activated behavioral phenomenons. We are locked in a systemic momentum. A better societal option could be a ‘Resource based Economy’ now guided by AI, but I’ll leave that for others to discuss.

Musk IS a **nt!, but he have obviously been targeted - just see how much Cash, products and media attention he have gotten. Look how much Cash is floating in the Anti-Musk Campaign. Activists usually don’t have money for Ad campaigns and shit, and hacking a prompt at XAI wouldn’t be hard for the right people. Whenever you see activists with new flags, banners and ‘expensive’ stuff, we know that someone have sponsored that event - usually US oligarchs.

So, don’t like Musk, don’t care much what happens to him, don’t need/want to defend him, but we should at least pay attention to the pattern of attacks, acknowledge that such targeted pressure/events against a single person is easy to create and happens all the time - even if completely false - AND can be used against somebody YOU like next ! These information war methods are already used against other Nations/competitors of US/The West, so re-focusing the geo-political ‘change’ apparatus against an internal enemy isn’t a problem at all. They have been ‘utilized’ in Britain (Corbin) and on non-liberal competitors in all the other Liberal/Western nations.

It happens daily…

More propaganda… We have never had a more Authoritarian power as the Western ‘liberal/Globalist’ power. But they apparently have a lot of success convincing uneducated people that THEY are freedom/democracy, while anyone else is ‘Dictators’ and ‘Evil’. Childish and sad…

Trump have the exact same policies as everyone before him - not more, or less 'Authoritarian than all the DEMS that did exactly the same as Trump. All ordinary people should really include some criticism of Liberalism/Globalism, and follow criticism of the Empire known as ‘The Empire of Lies’ (not without reason).

For those that have started to sense the cracks in the Western Narrative, maybe that Russia and China seem to be fine countries, and are interested in understanding what is happening in the world, start by watching Brian Berletic on Youtube. The rest will follow…

Damn, the West are moving like a Snail in comparison ! I guess a society that isn’t purposed by Capitalist Oligarchs/Feudal Lords works quite well after all. Neat…

Oh, the 500ghz is the max theoretical switching (0<>1) limit for Bismuth itself, not for any production chip any time soon, sorry about that. I saw it in either the paper or at ‘Anastasia in Tech’ on youtube. (worth following if interested in chip development).

Jeebus man. All cultural/social or intellectual reasons to believe what we do, Plus all the different versions of meaning, is being dumbed down to only a physical difference in our brain. We are back to finding ‘criminals’ by measuring skulls.

The paper seems like a paid research job - as in the conclusion were fixed. Let me guess, there’s a big controversy in the world, and someone needs to be able to point anything to ‘Authoritarians’ - to ‘Them’ ? As if ‘Lolbertarians’ were less Authoritarian than ‘Tankies’…

Functionality-wise, its a promising ‘personality’ training system. Could be my ‘guiding voice’ when my other agents run autonomously for longer time. Could also be used to create Agents imitating the thinking of some Hooman experts we want to influence some agent sub-system we have, or just creating a domain-expert AI.

However, it have the option to connect to a seemingly(?) closed-source ‘AI network’, where people can buy services, create NFT’s on personalities and similar market garbage, so I won’t be using that part - open or not.

Just ordinary Capitalist incentives taking priority again. There are unfortunately monetary scams on all levels of Science, and it is breaking Science. All we wanted was a pure Scientific incentive of ‘Closer to Truth’ - not ideological ‘Money before Truth’…

…and they just replaced Silicon with Bizmuth in another study (>500ghz, smaller, more efficient). The West have already lost the ideological competitive race they still fantasize about…

Friendship between western people and other people around the world is important to stop political warmongering, so its pretty cool with all the new Westerners getting the “China not bad” experience, and also that we all see how far and advanced China has become on so many fronts (Still having work to do, oc). Let’s hope the two information spheres and people can mix a little now, and some of the deliberate and honestly hateful misinformation can be dispelled.
