Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

It was a joke, it’s a heavy thread and I was trying to inject some levity. Take a breath. Hope you had a happy Halloween my friend.

Trying to think of what hobby could have you driving so much. I guess it’s safer to cut back than find more victims closer to home.

It’s going to be much worse than 2008 when the AI bubble pops. Most of the economy is in a recession that’s getting worse every day. But spending on AI is propping up the rest of the economy. Once that house of cards crashes down we’re going to be in a world of shit.

Servers in US and Canada is an issue for a lot of people.

Proton sponsored far right YouTubers.

Money is power

You’re right, this is “why did you make me do that” level of warning.

How is tuta getting money? I don’t see pricing info.

The “free forever” model is troubling.

When people show you who they are, listen.

There was a lot of copium flying around after the first red flag. I told people then, best case scenario is he’s a naive idiot to think a Trump cabinet pick is good for anyone other than Trump and his cronies. Worst case scenario he was trying to cosy up to an anti-democratic fascist.

Here we are with red flag 2 3. How many people are going to keep injecting that copium? Or are we finally listening to the man when he tries to show us who he is?

Edit: I was unaware Proton got caught sponsoring Fascists on YouTube.

It’s mostly redundant, but bots pre-date LLMs and this is explicitly stating that no LLMs will ever be allowed. Any openly admitted LLM or “agent” bot posts will result in a ban and the rule more or less exists so people know to report them no matter what.

Unfortunately enforcement will likely be limited to openly admitted LLM bots. I don’t plan on banning any account based on a suspicion. This rule was created because there are LLM bots making posts and openly stating they are “agents”.

This is an extra “this is a human community, don’t bother asking” rule for LLMs. The whitelist was missing when I took over, thanks for reminding me. I had intended to remove the link.
