Sounds like the SA dude was the only thinking individual on stage AND the most observant one. Who tf invited the other child-minds ?

Cool that you are still alive and kicking - respect on all fronts !

‘Excuse the ignorance’, no problem, we all start from the same cesspool of Capitalist propaganda, and I don’t have all the answers either, but I can put you on a much better information track if you want it. Your post is a bit ‘heavy’ on the propaganda side, so ‘What we are told’ is the key sentence here that I need to talk about.

Not sure where to start really, but here goes (excuse lack of details and sources for this long one): Firstly, ‘socialism’ is more a temporary mode of production towards full communism - a peoples community at nation-scale, no oppression by rich fascist fckers, no monetary hierarchy. Socialism or the end goal of Communism does not dictate, strengthen or even have a specific need for surveillance/censorship. In fact, the closer to Communism, the less the need for such things - unless the citizens are being attacked from the outside by the usual fascist fuckers. There certainly can be a lot of surveillance, but not to control people - to safeguard people. That is what you see in socialist/communist nations, and you feel safe, not surveilled by capitalist removed that want everything you got. Society are being discussed in these nations. There are no2little surveillance-capitalism that surveils only to harm you in a full communist society. I doubt that anyone are perfect, and mistakes absolutely have been made trying to get away from the Capitalist oppression and eternal wars, but they are just better for people than fascist (Capitalist controlled) nations. The whole point of socialism/communism is to create a society where ordinary people can prosper without fascist psychopath owners entering/controlling every part of your life - to suck you dry for THEIR benefit. Common ownership of resources/production is just one level of socialism - pro-social systems, Communism is the whole package, a society by the people, for the people.

I’ll just assume that you already know that US and their Western vassal nations are neither ‘democratic’, free’, have ‘free speech’ or any other silly dogmatic/marketing words. US elites colonises other nations through several attack vectors: Military projection/playing opponents against each other (They learned how by the UK), monetary pressure/favourable trade-‘agreements’ and buying of local corrupt elites and ‘power-positions’ (academia, media and ‘Epstein’ types etc) in society, ‘business schools’ as small propaganda centres that churn out hundred thousands capitalist/free market believers every year that fight vehemently for the Epstein class’ favourite economic system, but another strong one being control of information/propaganda. You have already noticed that while searching.

You can read about how they do these things in the Chinese paper called 'Colonization_of_the_Mind. There are oc many other documents, papers, books and documentaries etc that describes how it works, so its not a secret - just hidden/removed from the information sphere as you have already noticed (search engines, Wikipedia manipulation and you name it, they manipulate it). Oh, and NO western society are interested in ‘privacy’, but still supports systems that can go through socialist/communists firewalls. THAT is the whole reason for soc/com firewalls and their own social networks+censorship of US propaganda (T-square and Uyghur nonsense and so on), not that they are ‘hiding the truth’ for their citizens as US propaganda would claim. To understand this, you might need to follow what wars - and their purpose - US have been at for almost a hundred years. All socialist/communist nations, or just those that didn’t want US scum elite to own their nations (hello S.America) have been in a cold/warm war with US ALL this time. US elite never stops - no matter what they say in public. Most ‘enemies’ now agree that US are ‘agreement-incapable’ as they always make deals, but consequently break them when needed.

Let’s be honest: US are good at it !! No firewall = no information defense = US will colonise your nation. ANY nation that doesn’t have a ‘firewall’ with their own social networks SN etc WILL be colonised eventually. It can happen many ways, but for SN, US, through google/yt, facebook, X, (and even on federated sn) creates groups of local dissent based on lies/censorship of truths, and they trigger uprisings through coordination with other CIA attack-vectors. ALL color-revolutions was nothing but US showing their information-management powers. Pretty scary stuff tbh…

EU and other (Nato) current US vassal states did not know what hit them, and the last 30 years we have seen EU citizens go from having true Communist and Socialist parties and interests, to now only have propagandised neo-liberals/globalists - all just Capitalists. And we are almost at US low-levels where a good hearted Communist that only want the fascist shitters to stop extorting and manipulating peoples lives for their own benefit - the best for ordinary citizens - are called ‘Commies’ and ‘Tankies’ and almost spat on. Remarkable work by the US propaganda apparatus (biggest in human history) ! PRC, and DRPK fared much better although they have been attacked by US forever.

Ukraine on the other hand… (oh-oh, did you think that was a clear case of bad Russia? It’s not, sorry, but you can skip this section if you are too convinced/angry!) …Ukr did not have a firewall either, and didn’t have a chance. CIA with Victoria Nuland et al. as lead spent at least 5b$ to manipulate Ukrainian corrupt elite, history-books, create nationalists and everything above - all to become an angry proxy warrior against US’ enemy Russia. All of Maidan etc was just std CIA ops. It’s all documented, but US can create a deliberate echo-chamber - a lynch-mob - in the entire US vassal information sphere, that wont even look at information that goes against the official CIA induced narrative.

I better stop here, as I’m already way beyond what is ‘acceptable’ claims in the western echo-chamber, but I should add that ‘Trump’ does the exact same in foreign affairs as ALL his predecessors, so that means that US foreign policy - what I have loosely described above - continues unaffected by what side of the US oligarch uniparty - sorry, which ‘administration’ - have the presidency. They are the same, and not in charge of much really.

It doesn’t look so, but I have not written anything controversial here - at all. A few errors and missing angles oc, but nothing horribly wrong. If you want closer to ‘truth’, then look away from all pro-US outlets. Look for socialist/communist wiki’s as they are not manipulated, look for independent journalism that are not sponsored by the elite, look for those Scientists that dare to go against the narrative, look for anyone that does NOT repeat what US gov says is the truth, and never watch western ‘news’, follow for-profit SN’s and for profit media - ‘for profit’ beats real journalism every time. Finally, ask here and ask all the so-called ‘tankies’ for what they know - they are the most knowable geo-political followers I’ve ever met. Expect that ALL western information is colored by this crap narratives from the last many decades, and expect that everything is much much worse than what you are ready to accept. If you use AI, then make sure to ask for a system-critic perspective, or it will default to all the western propaganda also.

If you can break out of the US Oligarch echo-chamber, then we’ll see you on the other side…

Cool. ‘…NPO, or Near-Packaged Optics’

While not the same, the folding logic technique that stacks several processing layers on their new cpu’s, also focus on data-transmissions and thus saves on heat, quicker transport, and a few other secondary benefits.

It seem like Huawei rethinks communication on all HW scales. …and that thinking ‘kind of’ goes for Chinese AI models also. Impressive that Huawei/China can jump in and teach old dogs some new tricks, imho…

Wonder if we will get active-computing ram where data+simple compute mostly stays on ram, active computing screens or other ‘crazy’ optimisations on traditional designs. At least I’m confident where it will come from…

I’m not sure how it stacks up with the rest, but for web: https://mapcarta.com/

“Explore the globe with Mapcarta—the open map that unites the world through the collective knowledge of OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other open projects.”

There is no rational humanitarian choice between the two futures. The 2077 scenario has to go away. Simple as that.

I, we, have to reject, boycott and fight all big proprietary AI Corporations and support, so they can’t create the 2077 - or ‘Blade Runner’ - version of our future. Global Communism is the natural state of living together when we can design the future we want. We can produce anything we need in an intelligent circular eco-system instead of hoarding/fighting for artificially scarce resources, while thrashing our whole planetary habitat at the same time. We can setup the environment and systems for everyone to prosper and flourish with the passions they have.

We no longer need to ‘compete’ at all cost, and we are not in a hurry for anything except solving the problems our current system generate. We don’t need to fight against everyone else for our basic livelihood and security - we just need common access to shared resources. We can do better than insects and other low-cognition organisms that can’t fathom, or redesign their world, and thus need to compete for survival - all the time…

Let’s choose not to behave like that any more.

I definitely support Deepseek in its cause, and reject proprietary Corporations and their narrow-minded insect-like doctrines and visions for our common future…

Earlier this year, the Army announced that it was “bringing back the war horse”.

Might just be because Ukraine ran out of vehicles, tried Horses, and in the few vids I’ve seen, Russian drone operators tried to avoid hitting the four-legged animals…

I kind of hope they’ll out-compete the archaic Western Nobel foundation. Nobel neo-liberals don’t do much good for Science at all, and the whole thing is soaked - ‘reaked’ - in classical western elitist wrappings…

Yes baby ! What a great page. Thank you, to this Brennan dude(tte) for creating it, and quick apolls to others for me primitively raging against every sign of this nazi/fascist club/product, and the whole nazi/fascist enshittification/normalization of ‘open source’.

One nasty surprise in secondary list: ‘suckless’ - oh well, can’t win them all :-(

Let’s post this great page as a standard reply to all posts/mentions of omacom/omarchy going forward, so all those not knowing, can be warned about what it really is !

[ait] (warning - AI topic tag) Dear anti-ai, if you can muster it, then please lower defences slightly for just a sec: It’s really time and energy consuming to follow and document this yucky movement as they are now heavily funded and work/move constantly 24/7. Brennan is a super cool Human, but can’t work on this always, all the time. We might need an active agentic system that also work constantly 24/7 to track the whole fascist/nazi network, all its players, update the lists and make it easier for ordinary good peeps to reject and boycott it all. Supervised by a human oc.

Interesting, and impressive to just whip up a new learning architecture single handedly like this ! There was a paper on how to inject memory into the last layer(s) of a normal transformer architecture. Seemed a bit ‘hacky’ but not sure which is better. No matter, In a few months we’ll have several architectures and techniques to choose from, that all replace/augment primitive RAG systems, so the missing parts of the artificial brain is being developed everywhere.

It is incredibly cringe to hear US Epstein/Empire defenders think that China and their millions of highly skilled engineers can’t re-discover/re-invent all semi-conductor tech and catch up to the US controlled sphere.

I think the bigger problem is that people completely inflate what a human brain is and can do. IF we have an overinflated idea of what a brain are and can do, then any llm/AI will always be an ‘inferior machine’.

There are the ‘free will’ group (ability to do otherwise, in exact same situation), that thinks we have some ability to do anything other than ordinary cause & effect in our brains. Cause and effect is automatic, can’t be avoided, and kicks in from the first bit signal that either enters our brain extrinsicly or intrinsicly. Everything from there just compounds and gets evaluated not much different from a mix of current llm architectures. The fact is that we are biological computers that have evolved many layers of computation that all leads to action states - ‘behavior’ - whether it be movement or thinking.

There’s the ‘consciousness’ group (not well defined concept), that think that being conscious is something cosmic, everlasting and super special. There are a few theories on this fluffy concept, and they mostly - to my knowledge - consist of information theory. A slightly primitive analogue would be images that comes in so fast that they become a sequence - a movie. At some point in evolution, we reach a stage where our brains detects themselves in a balanced feedback loop. This little feedback system has a ‘standing wave’ quality where input signals match our cognitive capacity, and our brains now have an ‘outer loop’ that can recognise its own activity. My guess is that consciousness is a gradient that starts very weak and very early in evolution of all life, but is not ‘special’.

Then there’s the ‘machines can’t be intelligent’ group. A bit difficult to scope what this group thinks, but ‘intelligence’ is also not very well defined in the big human diaspora, and they refuse to see a brain/body as a computing device (our whole body is a part of our ‘brain’ as everything are completely inter-connected). ‘Learning’ - or continual learning/habituation’ for current AI is still crude, but getting better.

There are other groups that hinge their anti-AI stance on the real harm the combination of Capitalism and llms generate: fear of big pscho corp - which is real, fear of loosing jobs - which is real, ‘Slop’, real and so on. These are all true, but they are all artefacts from Capitalism, as already existing problems. Without Capitalism, there is no problems in this group, but instead of attacking ‘C-slop’, ‘C-unemployment’, C-copyrights, C-climate issues and other already existing Capitalist threats, patches and behaviours, they see the real and insane acceleration of this already yucky behaviour through this new ‘AI’, and simply hones in on the new technology as the ‘bad guy’. They have drawn a line in the sand, that they will not cross. AI will never become intelligent or useful. It’s imho not that intelligent to attack the visible artefacts of a Capitalist system that causes it all. Always attack the root-cause, not the effect.

The article here tries to illude to the fact that there is more on top of the first layer of next token prediction, and that is also true. We already know that these algorithms are trained on a ‘projection-layer’ of our cognitive activities - our language and behaviour, but that they lack the evolutionary scaffold that causes that behaviour, so we could argue that AI is just a repeater of that projection only, and would never reach what our brains can compute. But that is not really true from the transformer model and onwards. Earlier ‘AI’ just (sorry for simplifying) learned entities and their relations and spit out weird content, but the transformer introduce ‘position’ between entities in the first layer. ‘position’ in our actions are a primitive temporal ability that constantly adjust output actions on the likelihood according to time, and bam! we had the first reasonable sentences. The next thing is resonance/dissonance, or ‘certainty/uncertainty’ that currently are only detected by scaling up the entity+time layers. sudden uncertainty = surprise, and the ability to react to surprise, stop->adjust cognitive scope->re-engage are the holy grail of intelligent AI.

These are the basics of an intelligent machine, but we need more. We need to run continuously, to navigate the problem-scape we are in, be able to self-adjust the amount of information so it matches our cognitive capacity and be able to return to a ‘self’ state etc (cognition is just navigation of internal states until surprises are resolved or deferred). The absolutely most crude cognitive ‘navigation’ is something like ‘moltbot’ or similar primitive architectures. It basically consist of the llm being yanked back to the “Do this” list every N’th minutes. It will become enormously better very soon. ‘Cognition’ and all other features of our brains, is just the right engineering and it will come to surpass us at some point as it already does in many areas.

I’m sure I forgot something important in this outline, but I think that the longer people stay in one or more of these denial-groups, the harder it will be to get out, the more they will sound hysterical/coping, and the bigger problems they will create for themselves later. People can believe what they want oc, but the less they’ll use AI to fight the things they don’t like in this society, the more AI will allow all the rich pschos to continue their constant sick power seeking behaviour that thrashes our world via their pet ideology - Capitalism, and we’ll all have much higher chance of ending up in a “Blade Runner” dystopian future.

Personally I hope the anti-AI groups learns to swallow their frustration, turn around and start using AI and all new technology to shape society in a better direction, organise, prevent more Trump’s, or Biden’s, prevent the existence of any of their Oligarch ‘Epstein’ fckers - the whole Epstein Class that quietly sit in the back and pulls the real strings of the president puppets. These pscho fckers WILL use AI 24/7 to their exclusive benefit no matter who/what are harmed, and we should all try to prevent that any way we can. We can’t fight back with sticks and harsh words alone…

However, that is just what I believe and want.

Not surprising at all, and re. Chinas coal, then it is being processed into other types of energy/resources in ways that are completely new to the west, so not polluting. China are in control of the situation, and have even used surplus resources to help out other local nations against the repercussions of the US elite and their blind-sided western populations.

Sorry for the long comment, but the above article relates directly to current geo-political events where US are attacking China. The article - one among thousands - shows that US are failing, and I don’t think I can summarise the connecting events shorter atmo:

For those of us that have followed the US oligarchy’s war on the rest of the world for a long long time, and followed how they constantly tried to sabotage China’s rise, it has been a huge relief to see that enemies of the US Epstein class - “The Empire of Lies” as it is also called - have prepared for everything that is happening now. They ALSO knew what was going to happen, and what the standard/predictable CIA playbook were.

Everything that happens right now have been predicted, and heard/read directly from the arrogant western oligarchs, so there was little surprise for anyone but the ordinary western population that, through the oligarch owned media, thought that we were the good guy’s. We weren’t, and never was. The reason we thought so, was because US have created the wildest propaganda apparatus, and the most docile/in-fighting/misinformed population in human history - quantity + quality that have never been seen before !

In fact, all the current geo-political conflicts, are really just the US Epstein class panicking and attacking China with everything they got. They had to first weaken Chinas friend/energy provider, Russia through Ukraine (and then command EU oligarchy to take over), and then cut off fossil fuels/energy from Iran, to chinas production machine. They will try to block Chinese trade through other straits if possible, but its no longer likely to succeed. The US elite have completely failed on every single front they have created and the US is no longer a unipolar hegemony, and will only sink deeper and deeper towards poverty, though they will make sure to drain/sacrifice their vassal nations as much as they can first.

However, only the western populations and smaller nations with corruptible leaders were this blind-sided, and an incredible amount of westerners actually believe that all of this was purely Trump/Maga’s fault - despite it going on - and accelerating - for over 100 years - WHILE activists was telling everybody about it ! They still don’t realise they have been, and are being manipulated - badly…

So, atmo, Western public narrative/emotions are still filled by the “Bad Russia” lynchmob via a standard CIA manufacturing consent campaign, despite an absolute shitload of counter evidence showing what actually happened in Ukraine, and other places in the world. That evidence is not shown to the western population via oligarch owned media, so anger in the created lynch-mob/echo-chamber are predictably hindering the mob in wanting to discuss what happened, or even just listen to those that try to break the US driven western narrative.

Front 1: The now hated Russia already knew that US created Ukraine as a nazty proxy-warrior to harm Russia, and prepared for the coming Nato attack over many years. Nothing US or their EU vassals have instantiated have surprised them in this conflict, except perhaps the suicidal insanity of the EU vassal leaders, or how bad Nato fighting really is. Russia have completely drained out all of Nato’s resources, and we now see them turn up the heat while completely controlling the very angry but functionally lame EU/West. There is no ‘stalemate’, and there never was, so no matter that some peeps don’t like it, it was a Russian attrition War at its finest, and the war was already won from the beginning. Russia is doing great. Too bad that US and their bunkers EU vassals have killed so many innocent Ukrainians - “For the Empire !!” :-( Nobody needed to die and Russia did try many times to seek deals, but US elite wanted to continue until the last Ukrainian.

Front 2: Iran also knew what was coming, have prepared themselves very well, and have pummelled the other nazty US proxy-warrior, Israel, and all US bases in the area. They also knew that US would try to control either their Oil, or block Hormuz strait to weaken China. Their preparedness and conversations with other ‘enemies’ of the Epstein class have completely upended US M.East power structure, Izrael and the corruptible golf nations, and there’s not much US can do now except hand over nukes to local criminals/terrorists that they support/control. Iran is still functioning and selling Oil to China. There is no ‘stalemate’, and there won’t be. Iran is harmed, but are in control of the situation.

Front 3 - the main one: China also knew that US would trigger this ridiculous stunt. After all, they have been the target of US terrorist actions on the belt&road projects for many many years, and anyone could see that US economic Ponzi-scheme only survived on wars, aggression and exploitation/extortion - like extort/steal Oil from Venezuela - just everywhere on the globe. US, or the CIA tried to get a Taiwan proxy warrior up and running, but didn’t have time to finish the job, and bc the Ukraine campaign have drained them, US Oligarchy had to trigger attacks against all friends and supporters of China instead + attacking China financially with tariffs and worthless blockades. Not a scratch have come to China yet.

China have been developing under the radar and are also turning up the knob. Every day we see how China launches new insane technology - far beyond anything in the West - and are completely managing everything US throws at them, sanctions, sabotaging the ‘belt and road project’, reducing fossil energy needed by China’s production via Hormuz closure, and so on. China, have hardly noticed it relative to what the western population is about to experience. The result of the Epsteins attack on China is that US and the entire western vassal system are in an implosive process, while China and its nearest friends are doing well now, and will survive the US elites current panic and violent tantrum just fine. China have already won - without much fuzz really.

Earlier fronts: Unfortunately, smaller and closer nations got harmed by the US elites pscho warring for profit/power and by the western population that gave the green light for it. Many CIA instigated riots were triggered - the so-called “Color-revolutions” were all just CIA manipulation for the Epstein shtters, and many middle-east nations suffered, lost control to terrorist organisations supported by the US etc. Too many to mention, really. Venezuela, and the rest of the good peeps of South America are under constant attack from the Epstein cnts and their Oligarchy presidents.

So, ALL of the above have been prepared, executed and evaluated by every sitting Oligarch President in the US - no matter if “Democrat” Biden, Obomba, Clinton etc, or “Republican” like Trump, Bush? etc were chosen for the Oligarchy presidency. No-one have tried to reverse what the previous puppet from the “other” uni-party did. That alone should raise some eyebrows in the west, but unfortunately, people are still too blind-sided and angry at anyone else but the elite pschos that are running the show. All of the above are documented and well-known for long time activist, anti-imperialists and real journalists (yes, there are still a few in the west).

“You do need to own a copy of the game to play it with OpenTS”

Arg!! I love these passionate re-imaginations, remakes and whatnot of old games, but they are already developing with AI, so why are they not generating a new asset resource that replaces all the original proprietary stuff!

Anyway, I hope we soon get complete asset replacement for ALL the old games Diablo, C&C, Baldurs gate and hundreds of other old classics that all have an open engine that still relies on shtty original copies of proprietary assets. Nobody cares about these corporate parasites anyway, so f’em…

I think it’ll get harder and harder to find ‘pure’ distros. For a while you can maybe rely on something similar to Gnu linux-libre kernel that removes proprietary blobs, or BSD, or Gnu Hurd kernels etc, but linux-libre is already a pain if you need certain hw drivers, and eventually an anti-ai kernel will become crippled even worse, and it will become too hard to keep track of what kernels/parts of kernels is AI assisted code or not.

In the future, more and more new features will be from ai assisted code, and pretty soon, the anti-ai kernel will lose out to ai-assisted kernels in features, speed and soon stability (bug-finding etc).

The same goes for the rest of the distros that tries to avoid ai-assisted tools and code, and you/others will imho get completely swamped by this transformation. In fact, you will most certainly need an agent to keep constant track of this development.

I’m okay with AI, but I kind of feel for those trying to avoid it. Its hard enough just to avoid proprietary crap, and to me, avoiding ai-assists, is an even bigger mountain to climb. I do wish you all best of luck on that journey.

Ps. There ARE fully open models trained on fully libre with open libre data-sets, and for you - ethical data oriented - you could/should? probably accept that ‘non-pure’ situation, and use such an open llm to either maintain an ethical distro, or keep unethical ai-assist as low as you can get away with, for as long as you can.

“The canonical basis rotates the model so that axis k of the hidden state corresponds to a specific spectral direction of the model’s own weight matrices.”

Ouch! Some heavy convoluted words for ordinary peeps. I got ‘observability’ and output ‘alignment/control’ out of it all, and got a sense of it being important to know, so just dumping a few direct links for the adventurous out there…

The Hidden Geometry of Transformer Weights paper describes the ‘spectrum’ part. …sort of.

“stillOS takes the GNOME desktop and configures it like Windows out of the box.”

Seem to be the only thing that makes it ‘special’ ? Not sure that is unique really, but if it makes some users happy…

I’m sure the ‘Empire of Lies’ tells the truth this time. I mean, eventually it must happen… statistics and all ? …well, maybe not…
