i dont think its all talk, these are smart people that have been in ai since the 2000s, and they raise good points. current incentive structures are very dangerous long term
@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlogreplied to@jamesjan3profilefollowresearcher, developer, dancer:
they too have every incentive to exaggerate because they are selling safety and/or books on the topic. I don’t believe we won’t see it coming. Any issues that will manifest will be very visible and we’ll have plenty of time to mitigate their impact.
@jamesjan3profilefollowresearcher, developer, dancerreplied to@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog:
they could be making a lot more money by just working at ai firms i fear. the thing that got me worried the hacking incidents lately, huggingface etc. if the capabilities consistently outspeed the development of safety measures, and if the private arms race logic continues, i dont think this is a good spot to be in long term

看来可以发中文。因为没有身份证，所以不能拥有手机号，接着不能注册稳定的email，也就没法注册内容平台，发布内容。hotmail因为我没有稳定的ip地址，常常封禁我的email账号，我的mastodon账号因此也没法长期使用。我希望这是一个我可以长期发布内容的地方
It seems I can post in Chinese. Because I don't have an ID card, I can't have a phone number, and therefore can't register a stable email address, which means I can't register on content platforms or publish content. Hotmail frequently blocks my email account because I don't have a stable IP address, so my Mastodon account can't be used long-term. I hope this is a place where I can publish content consistently.

Thank you. I didn't expect anyone to actually reply to my post. I haven't had a conversation with anyone online for at least several years.

很高兴成为很久以来的第一个人之一，我的朋友！好好的，周末愉快！原谅我的小错误，我正在用翻译来回复。我们都知道大多数时候都不太好。
So happy to be one of the first people to reply in a long time, my friend! Have a good weekend! Please forgive my little mistake, I'm replying using a translation. We all know things aren't always great.

At moms house for the holiday weekend so the kids can see Nana. She has a "premium Plex" account on her tv serving a truly massive amount of content. Allegedly the brother of a long time friend is offering the "service". She says that the service will go down when the host is having outages, so the infra is likely local. I brought my year this weekend. We are going to dig in to this guys operation. Intuition dictates that there is some hand rolled accounting going on. I'd like to see it.

szóval technikailag nem adatközpontnak nevezném a főterminált, hanem maximum vallatószobának MI ügynökök részére, jelenleg el vagyok akadva a Windows 11 telepítésnél, és néhány könyvet és scriptet még lementenék róla úgy biztonságilag, mielőtt belefognék a vallatószoba kialakításába, itt tényleg olyan sandbox van, amiből nincs nagyon merre mászkálni, kivéve, ha direkt kiküldöm valamelyik webes alkalmazásra
So technically I wouldn't call the main terminal a data center, but more of an interrogation room for MI agents. I'm currently stuck installing Windows 11, and I'd like to download some books and scripts just to be safe before I start building the interrogation room. It's really a sandbox here, with nowhere to go except if I send it directly to a web application.

Maybe implementing a subset of Markdown would be a good thing. I am thinking about bold, italics, inline code, and code block, mostly. Oh, and links.

I think so. It could even be made a setting, defaulting it to off. I think it would be useful, especially is self-hosted for a tech community.

I've tested MD and honestly I don't like it. Bold/italics add unnecessary noise/clutter and the font is already monospace, suited for code, so inline code & code fences are not needed. If 3rd party clients want to implement them it's fine but I'm sensitive to visual noise.
