  • I'm excited for peer to peer technology, because it brings us closer to what the internet was originally supposed to be like.

    I've recommended Keet (chat app) a bunch of times on lemmy earlier, which works really well and that is cool, but that is just a showcase of what's possible with p2p.

    Streaming media, sharing files, communication, browsing wikipedia, etc etc - this can be done without spying middlemen or data centres in between. Some cool demos here 09:45 https://youtube.com/watch?v=BTCsSwCpGP8&t=776

  • Similar to bittorrent yea, there's more tech info about the primitives here https://docs.pears.com/

    The UI is like normal chat app, with dm's, group chats, voice calling, file sharing, etc. I recommend you try it out and see for yourself (no phone number or email required)

  • You could make a room in Keet, put your videos there and invite your followers in? No server costs or file size limits since it's peer to peer. I'm in several rooms with video files of 1-2g, works great.

  • Can't we do anything as google is killing AOSP and custom ROMS

  • They're not a multi-billion dollar company. If you don't like it, then don't use it. That's your choice.

    But please stop talking nonsense about them not addressing real problems. Because they are. And they deserve credit for that. Not whining about the imperfections of a work in progress.

  • They're actively trying to solve:

    • e-waste and making devices last longer (contributing upstream)
    • escaping data harvesting and surveillance
    • offer an alternative to the mobile duopoly

    I'm baffled that they even bother, given how much people complain about it not being good enough. But I'm glad they do, and I think it's awesome.

  • ...And that people take the bait and anthropomorphize it, believing it is "reasoning" and "thinking".

    It seems like people want to believe it because it makes the world more exciting and sci-fi for them. Even people who don't find gpt personally useful, get carried away when talking about the geopolitical race to develop agi first.

    And I sort of understand why, because the alternative (and I think real explanation) is so depressing - namely we are wasting all this money, energy and attention on fools' gold.

  • AI wearables are quietly listening to everyone in Silicon Valley

  • Seems we are talking about different things here. By "perfect" I assumed you meant "complete", as opposed to an IM-log, e-mail, letters or other async communications.

    For people with medical conditions such as dementia, of course, this could solve real problems. I'm not saying we should pull the brakes in every case. My only point is that more data doesn't equal "better" in every case.

    Forgetting things are an underappreciated part of being human. Of course accumulating knowledge with science etc is what drives humanity forward. But when living our day to day lives, forgetting stuff is not just a bug, it's a feature. It enables us to move on, letting go, and revisit memories more organically and qualitatively. For example the rush of nostalgia that hits you when you randomly hear a song from your childhood. Compare this to prompting your local AI with "give me a perfect list of songs from my childhood".

    For example it's interesting to listen to accounts from savants with near perfect memories who talk about the struggles of remembering everything.

  • Would it?

    A chatlog of what everyone has ever said to you? Every misspeak, miscommunication, he-said-she-said, emotional comment? What problem would it solve?

    It might solve some problems, and introduce a shit ton of new ones. As technology always does.

  • In Norway, laser weapons are being used to remove sea lice from farmed salmon. The Stingray Laser System uses cameras to scan the fish, identify lice, and then deliver a laser pulse to kill them.

  • Don't remember whose quote it was, maybe Hannah Arendt, that the real tragedy of tyranny is not when people self-censor what they say out loud, but when this leads them to filter out those thoughts from arising at all

  • The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now)

    Jump

  • I get that people who sell AI-services wants to promote it. That part is obvious.

    What I don't get is how gullible the rest of society at large is. Take the norwegian digitalization minister, who says that 80% of the public sector shall use AI. Whatever that means.

    Or building a gigantic fuckoff openai data centre, instead of new industry https://openai.com/nb-NO/index/introducing-stargate-norway/

    Jared Diamond had a great take on this in "Collapse". That there a countless examples of societies making awful decisions - because the decisionmakers are insulated from the consequences. On the contrary, they get short term gains.

    Looks like a routing issue, it works when navigated to from the index page without a full reload.

  • If I was China, I would be thrilled to hear that the west are building data centres for LLMs, sucking power from the grid, and using all their attention and money on AI, rather than building better universities and industry. Just sit back and enjoy, while I can get ahead in these areas.

  • Dude, I decided to make a personal note with lots of similar links regarding privacy, so that I can provide the source when I discuss these matters with people. But yours in much more thorough - and public. Thanks for saving me a ton of work!
