  • There’s a similar fear indeed I feel regarding it, too…
    I do also recall the following blog read:

    There is a darker, conspiratorial interpretation of today’s hardware trends…
    That’s paranoia… or is it? If you think that dystopian…
    The reason I’m writing all of this isn’t to create panic, but to help put things into perspective…

    Meanwhile, we should be careful, since there’s fear and anxiety, yes… yet rants, politics, and some scopes of information flow are either unintentionally spread (e.g. by someone who is deep into trends flow) or intentionally/specially designed to be used for manipulative effect to de-focus you/us from our viewpoints, create fractures in dreams, hopes, and derail us from chosen, genuine, always important actual paths for actually meaningful and magnificent miracles… our duties, beliefs…

    When you’re watching television, you’re watching the news, you’re being pumped full of fear, there’s floods, there’s aids, there’s murder, cut to commercial, buy the Acura, buy the Colgate…
    Keep everyone afraid, and they’ll consume…

    When someone was willing to drown with me, I really didn’t want to drown anymore…

    ~ Marilyn Manson

    Therefore, it’s always important to keep the peace in mind, and keep the infinitely marvelous light closer to the heart flowing within brilliant Jazz of steady notes of fathom…

    Come and go, please…
    And watch it swallow me…
    I bleed…
    Toe the line… Toe the line… Toe the line…

    There’s… hope…

  • Thank you, @destructdisc@lemmy.world ! ^^

    I read it yesterday, but did’t publish here considering someone else did already. Yet, apparently… you just did!


    This is all… such a… dear… sorrow… no words may express it…

    I’ve been in Linux for around 20 years now…
    And this is freaking f… awful to see…

    The thing is that these projects, as Linux, Aircrack, cryptography, exploits I’ve been into for many years… created by actual developers who learned, who managed… who achieved… had been inspiring me to also learn, to discover, to achieve…

    Now? It starts to mean nothing.
    Now, there’s someone lazy who “achieved” something being lucky enough for their stupid prompt for a model to generate a desired output.

    It’s worth nothing. It’s worthless.

    The fact that once hackers/effortful/artists/people, now don’t learn, don’t discover, don’t communicate, don’t share, don’t publish, don’t think for fudge sake… with their head/mind on their shoulders atrophying… don’t achieve, don’t deserve their name mentioned since they didn’t write it but their/vendor’s models did…

    This AI infestation? This ruins all of it, it overwrites the Git/human history with actual ingenious people leaving behind…
    Devaluing everything…

    Such a sorrowful time to live… and see/feel of this… with so many indifferent and careless people… who just need a result without any understanding and realization how it actually works or was derived…

    I cannot still wrap that around my mind properly…
    I try to think less about the history being obliterated, people getting forgotten, ingenious ideas devalued…

    Also note that the python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding. I know more about analog filters – and that’s not saying much…

    Yet, there’s also “copyright”:
    - https://github.com/torvalds/AudioNoise/blob/main/LICENSE

    How is that a copyright if this project was created by a machine/algorithm, not him?
    How is that inhuman output worth a copyright that is supposed to be for humans only?

    Just to clarify, I appreciate Linux and the Community for the ineffably magnificent history… the operating system, the freaking marvelous effort and love within all it… I’ve been literally living in Linux for decades or so, I adore working with Linux… being a developer in security and finance systems…

    It’s just… it’s just… so much gets devalued and ruined… and faster, faster, faster!
    Where the heck are we all so hurry at? Hello?! Anyone?!

    You don’t even get time to live this life already, and now with the history getting rewritten on our eyes, code written with no names on it, music slopped, “slop-articles” published, “artworks” set in video-games… everything with no soul no effort in it, nameless…

    In the end, we do we. I’ve been making my life with the beliefs in the precious value of achievements of human lives, be it code, algorithm, music, artwork, art, human experience…

    Creating exploits, findings holes, adjusting security, break unbreakable etc. these are all achievements and you live with them.
    You then could remember, after 10 years or more, that You achieved it. It would give you strength to continue living, a purpose.

    It’s been giving me the purpose to continue living, too…


    There are still Developers and Communities who still apply warmth to my heart… the Hope…

    - NetBSD may have found a new role: The AI-free FOSS OS

    Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta’s Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

    Artists as the following video author though still give warmth to the heart… the dear hope… which is heartfelt, dear Soulfelt appreciated…

    Thank you… very much… dear Developers, Artists, People… who still believe in the history, purpose, attitude, humane Art, the love…
    Please do stay safe… and I wish you success, stability, and peace…

  • Roger that. Thank you for the clarification that you meant the actual term, and not just the fact of no mandatory payment and it having an the source available for public.

    I get what you mean, yet frankly, I do not believe such projects may be always free that are supposed to always be up-to-date for another system they have no official relation to, and keep it as a responsible hobby other people depend on.

    Holy gracious smokes…

    This… this was… unexpected…
    I… cried when I read it… which is… rare…
    Such a… relief… Such… hope… a… miracle…

    Thank you… heartfelt… dear Author… for the ineffably magnificent work…
    I appreciate the Universe… for the Author to exist…

    Thank you.

    There is hope.


  • It is free and open-source on Desktop at this moment.

    Keyguard is a commercial app and unlocking a premium funds its further development and supports me (Artem Chepurnyi) directly. As of right now, only the Android builds distributed via Google Play store have main features locked behind a paywall, other distribution channels have a build with everything unlocked.

    But it makes sense to pay for it, since Bitwarden is a constantly changing system and these projects based on it must always be up-to-date with their API changes, too. This is time and worry consuming, and should be compensated.

    Thank you heartfelt… dear @TootSweet@lemmy.world … for the marvel, effort, human time you invest in… the worries, and work you do… for the infinitely miraculous humane attitude… which is always preciously priceless… which is heartwarming/Soulwarming… The attitude which is sure worth to be proud for, to glorify, and live for…

    Thank you… dear TootSweet, the Community, People… for you being infinitely magnificent as always…


  • This “restriction” probably has more to do with the fact that these models are also “trained” on User/Human messages, so the more swearing/obscenities/vulgarity/profanity there are, in the trained material, the higher the chance these same models will include that same profanity in the output generated back to the Human.

    1. During registration at Ahtrophic’s Claude website, there’s a “Help improve our AI models” checkbox that’s checked by default (you “can” disable it in the settings);
    2. The Claude interface has an “incognito” mode;
    3. There is a free tier available, and as we know, when it’s “free”, then User themselves is the “product”, to quote various CEOs, including Google’s;

    But, even with the checkbox disabled, I reckon nothing guarantees privacy.

    In case of the “privacy”, of course, systems like these that operate under a umbrella of liability are monitored 24/7 by dedicated teams, which is expected/normal for any reasonably popular service.

    From a viewpoint of the algorithm’s creator, this may seem awful, when your algorithm is getting much vulgar attitude, but let’s be real here. You try making that algorithm talk to the human mimicking another human, and now limit the human within your own environment? A human who also pay you for an access, too? This feels unfair, or borderline near fashism, sorry…

    Such algorithms are art under-the-hood, mathematically speaking, and are/should be respected, sure. But, it’s ridiculous/dystopian to prohibit profanity against an algorithm, a bot with banish risks against alive human… It’s simply inhumane to ban a Human for it, I believe. This is an algorithm that must support a Human - not judge it. Only a Human is supposed to judge another Human in person - this is live, fair, and humane.


  • Air can simplify the agent part, but not the four-machine SSH part. At least not yet. Inside IntelliJ, Air can give you a single place to run Gemini CLI, Codex, Claude Agent, and Junie, including running agents in parallel (you can also add other ACP-compatible agents).

    So your workflow could be:

    1. In the Air prompt window, use Claude for a complex refactoring

    2. In the same window, use Codex for a separate implementation task

    3. In the same window, use Gemini for another task or review
      …

    4. Become more dependent on the AI, atrophy gradually

    5. Think less, pay more

    6. Pay more, think less

    7. Pay more

    8. Depend more

    9. Pay more

    10. Give everything to those who run DataCenters or have unlimited access to LLM/AI

    11. Become homeless

    12. Devalue and obliterate your art and history

    13. Devalue and obliterate human art and history

    14. Depend more

    15. Depend more

    16. Depend more

    17. Become biomass

    18. Die

    …so infinitely much is getting devalued, dehumanized, ruined…
    …I’ve been a developer for more than 20 years now…
    …such an ineffably sorrowful time to live…

  • The “generating” from already existing has a particle of a relatively explainable sense in it, unfortunately… to “de-copyright” it…

    Simply put, AI has made it easier than ever to launder image copyright infringement… That, in turn, is where AI is changing the game. Previously, content laundering was about fooling computers. Now, it may be able to fool humans.

    Source

    -–

    These two challenges converge on a single point: the need for transparency about what data was used to train a model. Without such transparency…

    Source

    -–

    The foundational principle is deceptively simple: copyright requires a human author… Writing a detailed prompt is not enough.

    The machines are producing at extraordinary speed. The law is moving slowly, but it is moving. The businesses that fare best will be those that understood the difference in time.

    Source

    Even though the models are based on “fair use” of now unknown artists and people, now scrambled and reconstructed… which is all utterly awfully disrespectfully disgusting… indeed…

    Also known as “AI-laundering”…

    1. Create or fund a non-profit entity to create the datasets for you. The non-profit, research-oriented nature of these entities allows them to use copyrighted material more easily.
    2. Then use this dataset to create commercial products, without offering any compensation for the use of copyrighted material.
