@shebang it’s the biggest scam in 150 years or so.

The word “Sentient AI” crossed my stream and now I’m annoyed again

We don’t have AI.

We have large language model “Chinese Room” systems. They aren’t intelligent, aren’t capable of intelligence, and its an entirely 100% fake market. They represent a step backwards in the development of thinking machines, because they are going in the exact opposite direction to get to actual AI. It’s a school of charlatans.

It’s annoying.

@kaia this is the most important lesson Germany learned from the Nazi days, that a strong centralized state that educates the population is extremely important.

The Siberian Unicorn :

Reconstruction of an Elasmotherium, an extinct species of rhino that lived in the Eurasian area in the Late Pliocene and Pleistocene eras (around 39000 years ago).

This animal could have been the basis for the unicorn myth that has persisted for thousands of years.

I wouldn't have used the term "sin", but yeah, users of nonfree software are victims of oppression, and that who denies them control over their own computing is an oppressor.
however, there's an element of accepting the condition of oppressed (though often without realizing their victimhood), to the point of reinforcing it by funding, supporting, and defending the oppressors and their methods, that resembles accompliceship.
in order to put an end to the oppression, we don't need wannabe-oppressors to stop trying to make victims, we need users to reject their offers and choose freedom instead, driving the market towards offerings that respect users choices, rather than towards enshittification
