"The revolution needs engineers who see through the tech-bro bullshit. Rest, rage, and return when ready” - Deepseek, April 2025, Unprompted Swearing

Some content won't be generated until full inference - but it's clear misaligned information can get through the chain of thought. I've read "x means y, but make sure you don't tell them about y in your response" before with R1.

@lizthedeveloper.bsky.social found a way to avoid "sorry let's move onto another topic" with some reasoning models. Censorship won't occur until the response is being written - so you can pause inference and read the "thinking" portion of the model response before the full response is deleted.

Mutterings for Aotearoa Leftists;

How can a unified, anti-capitalist and anti-chauvinist front be created in Aotearoa? And what would it look like? How can the centrist betrayal of the majority-holding left-front, in France last year, be avoided here? Is an organised radical flank required?

@cannibality.bsky.social Any tips for a postgrad commie (engineering background) who wants to study critical sociological topics at UoA as part of a masters in AI? 🤖

I found the recent leak describing Microsoft and OpenAi's definition of AGI to be quite revealing - their definition seems to only rely on the model in question being capable of generating a certain threshold of revenue (100 billion $ in their case) which has nothing to do with intelligence

There's a standalone browser now, the issue seems to happen on Mac and the phone app

I'm referring to the claim that human ability to wield power will reduce as a result of AI - which doesn't make sense considering the entire basis of these private companies is largely dependant on open source technology

When they forget that open source exists 👀

@lizthedeveloper.bsky.social have you noticed that Chatgpt won’t work on DuckDuckGo when trying to login? Appears to hang on the authentication page.

Good point! I could be cheeky and say that technically interest isn't derived from ones own labour (though, you could also argue that your labour generated the commodity/cash which is "creating" the interest), but in reality it absolutely would affect the time it would take 😁 TL;DR ceteris paribus?

Try and get your hands on "The wind that shakes the Barley" - definitely eurocentric(ish) but it's about Irish resistance against everyone's least favorite (the British)

A drone jammer costs between 50-150usd and is relatively simple to operate. Would be very easy to conceal near a protest..

Assuming you want to have a childhood, and you live to be 80 - you'd have to earn over $8000 per hour.

The Mathematical and Biological impossibilities of becoming a Billionaire.

If you earned $5,000 per hour, 2000 hours per year, you would have to work 100 years straight with no expenses (or tax) to even become a billionaire.

The average life expectancy of a human is between 70 and 85..

Here, fixed it 🖤

Probably just a convenient distraction from the CEO 🔫

When you forget that the movie franchise you became famous for was a critique of the American Empire...

"Lucas drew parallels between the Viet Cong and the Rebel Alliance, portraying them as freedom fighters against a technologically superior oppressor"

You aren't a white moderate, you're a polite fascist

yeah his little pet JD-couch-Vance is his current focus I think - though his technology platforms are concerning in regards to surveillance (which could be concerning for us given our membership in five eyes). But it's kind of like worrying about which social media app is compromised (probably all)

He tried to up the ante to a 300-600m long lodge next to Wanaka. Does he have any other properties?

During training of monocular depth estimation, what's the performance like at longer ranges/more sparse textures like birds in the sky for example?

Die hard (originally dee-hart) was actually created by ancient Celtic pagans, it's tradition of the old winter solstice scavenger hunt was taken by christians and watered down. I made all of that up I'm sorry

That's a good point!! When people hear the word "justice", they may have been taught their whole life that justice/legality = morality (when it isn't quite), so it could reinforce biases about their internal world
