Yes.

I’d also want a standard, so that it wouldn’t be monopolized into one bigger platform, like with GMail.

And probably servers should have some kind of zero-knowledge protection, so that such a client-side filter would be the only one applied to the information. Maybe with ability to subscribe to filters published by someone else, of course, or kill lists, but always preserving transparency and choice.

EDIT:

I think NOSTR is kinda similar, only it has public keys as identities, just so. In general its cryptographic mechanisms are used as intended, but in a very ancient way. It’s too simplistic.

New Freenet (Locutus), I think, is going to be a platform where one can make such an application and a thousand others.

An engine component separable from the UI (which was XUL and thus Firefox initial advantage that gave it popularity), deeply extensible via plugins, tunable (it would be so frigging cool to be able to turn off sections of EDIT: … what’s currently called web standards, say, drop HTML5 or JS).

What it was needed for when it was popular.

Not a Chrome alternative with a different engine.

Somehow every time I mention XUL and XULRunner people mention that one can use PaleMoon or that XUL is incompatible with some security and stability changes and so on.

I know that. I don’t mean literally XUL, I mean low-level access to the engine. Allowing it to be used for things like old Conkeror and such, or just customizing Firefox as deeply as it was possible in olden days.

Ideally everyone would be able to set up rules as to who and what they see.

Something like (pseudo syntax initially like SQL, but went off track):

IF sum(this.poster.posts.karma) < -100 OR this.score < -10 OR sum(this.poster.opinions.rating WHERE this.poster.opinions.source IN me.friends) < 0 THEN false ELSE true END.

I thought they were the same bar

Well, working from home it still requires discipline to optimize distractions, but it’s at least possible.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

That would be ASPD.

The impostor syndrome and such are crazy though, when working remotely from my dust and cockroaches box.

When talking about people with ASD that’s called unmasking and is one of the main goals of therapy.

People are different. For me some purple actually is good. As opposed to green on computer displays. Real green is very good, of course.

Any non-neutral color is hard though.

Having problems with sugar is not subjective

I’m autistic, so talking about “common sense” might be funny, but - IP is technically an extension of contract law to a very abstract area. If we are being this rigid, then sovereign citizens must too have a say in politics. If we are being this rigid, then I want all Turks gone (or sworn fealty to me, LOL) from Khodorchur, Dayq province of Western Armenia. If we are being this rigid, then all governments in the world are illegal.

You get the idea.

And if we are, then why won’t we be even more rigid and ask how can one own a number? Which is ultimately any intellectual property. Piece of information is not a blockable resource.

And if we are not, then I don’t see any public value in an institution that harms people.

And there’s none, this is purely a device of power. When you realize this, and look at other such devices of power, you also realize that your society (as one that, well, imposed such IP laws on most of the world as a condition for economic interaction) is not free.

Shut down themselves even better.

I know those terms. I wanted to edit it, but was too lazy. You still did understand what I meant, right?

We don’t call a shell script “AI” after all, and we do call those models that, while for your definition there shouldn’t be any difference.

The real Skype was fine.

This Skype, I think, is just an ugly version of Teams.

Someone in here has once linked me a scientific article about how today’s “AI” are basically one level below what they need to be anything like an AI. A bit like the difference between exponent and Ackermann function, but I really forgot what that was all about.

Is WoW still that popular though?..

No. You are damn fucking well illustrating what I said, though.

This doesn’t make any sense.

Ahem, well, there are obvious things - that 2x2 modulo 3 is 1, that some vaccines might be bad, that’s why farma industry regulations exist, that pi is also unknown p multiplied by unknown i or some number encoded as ‘pi’ string.

These all matter for language models, do they not?

And you want an Ai that doesn’t offend these folks / is taught based on their output. What use could that be of?

It is already taught on their output among other things.

But I personally don’t think this leads anywhere.

Somebody someplace decided it’s a genial idea to extrapolate text, because humans communicate their thoughts via text, so it’s something that can be used for machines.

Humans don’t just communicate.
