Cheers! Thank you

Is there an open source solution? I actually stopped using my Canon camera as a webcam because the software was so shitty, now they want me to pay to use it 🤣 All they’ve done is stopped me from ever buying another Canon camera again.

This post makes me respect Proton even more. It’s a well articulated position.

I would love to have the option to set the algorithm, like if I’m feeling sad use an algorithm that optimizes for happiness, if I’m feeling lazy use an algorithm that optimizes for inspiration, etc. This is the future I want

Loops is great but it’s not a TikTok replacement for the average TikTok user. The average TikTok user likes TikTok’s algorithms

Nice try Mr Altman 🤔

Thank you and nice haiku

I just downvoted you to be funny

How does a leaf leaves leaves? What am I missing here?

lol, Google is an advertising company, this will be a nightmare “feature”.

It’s hard to think about anything else

100% we have a smart food-motivated cat and she’s lots of fun to train

TCP-over-HF is very slow, even with a lot of compression and low resolution the max throughput is about 4 memes per hour. I want maximum distribution of my memes so I wouldn’t use any encryption.

I’d immediately go into the basement and start memeing. I have redundant internet connections for these kinds of situations so I should still be able to post memes. I’m locally hosting a Mastodon instance so I can post even if the internet is down globally. I also have a TCP-over-HF setup so that I can post memes anywhere in the world without intermediate infrastructure. If humanity is completely destroyed, I would start memeing and rickrolling on cave walls for future generation

All the pieces are there, uncensored gen AI models exist for both text and images. But it’s not clear to me how you want these things to connect or how you want to interact with the framework. I’m guessing there is some existing platform that you’re trying to replicate locally? But without any context it’s difficult to help

Tell me more about your use case.

These are more strawman tactics.

you are arguing that Ukrainian draft officers are having to beat and kidnap men to send to the front line because Ukraine is more accountable to its people

I’m not arguing this point.

I am arguing that it is necause they have a manpower shortage

I have never denied that Ukraine has a manpower shortage.

You are ridiculous

And then you call me ridiculous when I didn’t make the first point and don’t disagree with the second point. This is textbook strawmanning.

I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith using these tactics.

Again, you’re strawmaning. I never argued that Ukraine is a “proper democracy”.

My argument is and continues to be that the Ukrainian government is more accountable to it’s population than the Russian government. Therefore the Ukrainian government must value the opinions of the Ukrainian population more than the Russian government values the opinions of the Russian population.

You’re argument about Syria is a red herring fallacy. I never argued that authoritarian regimes are immune to their population’s opinions. I’ve been arguing that the more authoritarian a government, the less accountable the government to their population.

At this point, I think you are either incapable of logical reasoning or arguing in bad faith.

I’m attempting to align so that we can move our discussion forward. I’m just going to assume that you agree with the following statement.

The Ukrainian government is more accountable to it’s population than the Russian government.

Both democracies and authoritarian regimes have drafts. The difference is that democracies can not continue an unpopular draft because the government will be voted out.

The more accountable a government is to their population, the less that government can afford to enact unpopular policies.

You seem hung up on the fact that Ukraine has a draft. What’s actually important is, does Ukraine have a draft that is supported by the population? If lots of drafted individuals become casualties then the Ukrainian government risks losing the support of the population and being replaced.

This is less of an issue for authoritarian regimes. That is my point and that is a major reason the Ukrainian government values it’s manpower more than the Russian government, there are larger consequences for casualties.

Do you agree that the Ukrainian government is more accountable to it’s population than the Russian government?
