Lexend. It’s a font designed with research to have variable widths to aid legibility.
It's cool, but I personally prefer Atkinson Hyperlegible Font for that usecase
As a Terminus fanboy, I love it! Thanks for sharing!
All the fonts I have mentioned are free and open source! They're all licensed under the OFL license. I hope you like my suggestions :)

But over time I started recognizing a lot of the same usernames, and it really just hit me that you guys are some of the most empathetic and loving people I’ve come across on the internet […]
Totally agree. I've been on Lemmygrad since before GenZedong was quarantined on Reddit. There were only a few of us, but I could immediately recognize a few other users when I made posts. Almost every conversation has been great here. It's something I didn't notice on any other centralized social network. And the fact that this community feels like an authentic community is also incredible.
This might be a super sappy post, but you know what, I don’t care. Making the switch from Reddit to lemmygrad was the best social media decision I ever made […]
While this may be a "sappy" post, I think these posts are necessary for people who use Lemmygrad to understand that it has an impact on the lives of other comrades. Many people come to this community for advice or just to vent. It's something that would be impossible on Reddit because of the toxic nature and dark patterns that hide all the most successful social networks to succeed.
any user who fails to do so will be found guilty of liberalism
Dammit, I'm late :c
Happy birthday anyways! @[email protected]

GNOME FTW 😎 enjoy your new hardware!!
Looks like a GNOME-based DE, yeah.
In this case, perhaps using AdNauseam could be useful for you.

It's sad to see this, but I'm not surprised. Ultra-nationalist Indians usually have this attitude on all social networks…
Fair enough 😅 I know the participants are cringe, but I have shared it because I would like to hear your opinion from a Marxist perspective. GeoHot is an accelerationist and Connor I think tries to be "apolitical", you know... lol
Anyway, I've put in the description of the post a summary of the transcript in case someone wants to know what they say without having to watch the video.
What’s more, any countries that try to put brakes on AI development will quickly find themselves at a disadvantage from countries that don’t. For this reason alone, AI will be seen as a national security concern by all major nations
In fact, we have seen that Americans are becoming increasingly fearful of AIs, in contrast to the Chinese, who generally trust AIs. This could be due to who has control over AIs. In the US, citizens are thinking about the most dystopian version of a large-scale implementation of these intelligence models because they know that the government will use it to further repress the working class. In China, government regulation of AIs generates trust because they trust the government. But as I mentioned in another comment, an open source AI for the whole population would be useless if such code is governed by a libertarian license like MIT/Apache 2.0, because of how easy it would be for the ruling class to appropriate this work to privatize and improve it to such an extent that the original code could not be measured against it.
This would allow for unprecedented level of economic planning efficiency.
Yes, in fact, isn't that what the Chileans had in mind when they came up with Cybersyn? With the technological advances of our era, especially in the field of AI and so on, it would make sense to go back to this idea. China has the potential to implement it on a large scale in my opinion.
Then the model is trained to interact with the physical world through reinforcement and this leads it to to create an internal representation of the world that’s similar to our own. This gives us a shared context that we can use to communicate with the model trained in this fashion. Such a model would have actual understanding of the physical world that’s similar to our own, and then we could teach it language based on this shared understanding.
Regarding what you mention, I have a question (maybe it sounds stupid), but assuming that these AI learn and develop in a particular environment and become familiar with it in a similar way to humans, what would happen if these AI interact with something or someone outside that environment? That is, for example, if an AI develops in an English-speaking country (environment) and for some reason interacts with a Spanish-speaking person, the cultural peculiarities that the AI has learned in that environment are not applicable to this subject. Do you think it could give a false sense of closeness or technical limitation? idk if I'm making myself clear or if this is an absurd question 😅
I fully agree. And not only that, I'm also intrigued to know what licence GeoHot would choose to launch such an open source AI. If he chose the more libertarian option, he would probably use the MIT license. If so, any powerful entity could take that AI as a base, lock down the code and build a malicious AI based on the open source AI. In the end, all efforts to "democratise" open source AI would be in vain.
Good bot :)
What do you think about this debate?
Let me give you some context. Two important figures in the field of artificial intelligence are taking part in this debate. On the one hand, there is George Hotz, known as "GeoHot" on the internet, who became famous for reverse-engineering the PS3 and breaking the security of the iPhone. Fun fact: He has studied at the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.
On the other hand, there's Connor Leathy, an entrepreneur and artificial intelligence researcher. He is best known as a co-founder and co-lead of EleutherAI, a grassroots non-profit organization focused on advancing open-source artificial intelligence research.
Here is a detailed summary of the transcript:
::: spoiler spoiler Opening Statements
- George Hotz (GH) Opening Statement:
- GH believes AI capabilities will continue to increase exponentially, following a trajectory similar to computers (slow improvements in 1980s computers vs fast modern computers).
- In contrast, human capabilities have remained relatively stat
Dessalines and Nutomic would agree lol
Wooohooo let's gooo 🥳🍾
The Leftsthetics community is being misused and I think we should reorient it
Hi. I wanted to talk about an issue that has been bothering me for a long time and that is the quality of the publications that are being made lately in the Leftsthetics community.
I have a specific problem with the user “Роძэя ΟЬяэяо” who I think has not understood the purpose of that community very well. The description of the community reads as follows:
For propaganda posters, art, influential photos, and anything else that promotes the aesthetics of revolution and the Left.
The problem is that this user does not upload anything that has to do with socialist or Marxist aesthetics. With so many artistic and aesthetic expressions of this movement, I don't understand how they can use the community to upload memes, which are also in Spanish. They also share famous quotes from great thinkers but again, is out of place in this community. In fact, this user currently moderates the Latino Marxist community and they have not even oriented it
