Cool! Any theme that could be a good match?

There are lots of scientific groups that work in the so called soft sciences that apply the usual methods of the hard sciences. It’s not about soft or hard, it’s about good or bad.

So it seems that letting LLMs to write sloppy posts for us can be useful after all. May be c/privacy should implement an automatic AI reformating XD

Interesting, I’ll check it out. I see the flapak release, will you make it available from flathub?

Posteo has an anonymized payment system, so you could pay with credit card and your payment information won’t be linked to your account.

I moved to Linux, use Freetube, LineageOS on the phone, listen all day to internet radios from the command line, browser with uBlock add on and it’s been years since I saw or listened an ad.

It struck me how seamlessly AI can now mimic human creativity, to the point where it’s nearly impossible to distinguish between human-made and AI-generated content.

And let any non trained people to subjectively judge if the content is AI generated? With the latest versions of video generation models we are already in the situation where only software can tell if some videos are AI generated or not. Lots of channels will be wrongly tagged.

No, IMO. For a real private android experience you have to switch to Lineage or Graphene and F-droid apps. I’m writing this from a Galaxy A5 2016 with LineageOS with F-droid only apps in one (main) profile and WhatsApp and a couple of other (in my case, sadly unavoidable) proprietary apps in another profile.

Here is a list of supported phones by LineageOS in case you are willing to switch.

Should I do the same if I want to expose an OpenAI compatible API to access an LLM to chat remotely on local technical documents?

It feels awesome.

May be it’s the app, I use Jerboa.

I don’t get the downvotes. The article explains that many researchers pointed out methodological issues in the tests measuring microplastics and the implausibility of some results. An the criticism was made writing letters to the respective journals that published the results, i.e. at the highest level, even some authors admitted the possibility of mistakes in the results. Sounds good news to me and honestly having microplastics in the brain equivalent to a credit card was hard to believe.

Brother HL-1212w fully FOSS USB only monochrome laser. If you have a router with USB and openwrt installed you can share the printer over the network. Cheap old printer but works great for just printing.

Using vanilla LineageOS and apps from F-droid which are open source you are fine. Most spyware and malware come from apps so LineageOS with F-droid is huge step from stock android concerning privacy and security. And improved version is GrapheneOS but I don’t think is a necessity for the average user, if that’s your case.

Most people are against AI because of what corporations are doing with it. What do you expect corporations and governments are going to do with any new scientific or technological advance? Use it for for the benefit of humanity? Are you going to stop using computers because coorporations use them for their benefit harming the environment with their huge data centers? By rejecting the use of this new technological advance you are avoiding to take advantage of free and open source AI tools, that you can run locally on your computer, for whatever you consider a good cause. Fortunately many people who care about other human beings are more intelligent and are starting to use AI for what it really is, A TOOL.

“According to HRF’s announcement, the initiative aims to help global audiences better understand the dual nature of artificial intelligence: while it can be used by dictatorships to suppress dissent and monitor populations, it can also be a powerful instrument of liberation when placed in the hands of those fighting for freedom.”

That’s perfectly fine if anyone just doesn’t want to use it, but he’s “strictly against” it and he’s searching for reasons. Pretty irrational IMO. It doesn’t surprise me, it’s the general trend regarding almost any subject nowadays, and you can’t blame AI for that.
