Fun fact, DEDSEC is a type of memory used in Soviet era mainframes.

I’d step back at that launch

That’s 128GB RAM, the GPU has 24GB VRAM. Ollama has gotten pretty smart with resource allocation. Smaller models can fit soley on my VRAM but I can still run larger models on RAM.

I’ve installed Ollama on my Gaming Rig (RTX4090 with 128GB ram), M3 MacBook Pro, and M2 MacBook Air. I’m running Open WebUI on my server which can connect to multiple Ollama instances. Open WebUI has it’s own Ollama compatible API which I use for projects. I’ll only boot up my gaming rig if I need to use larger models, otherwise the M3 MacBook Pro can handle most tasks.

The use of CSAM in training generative AI models is an issue no matter how these models are being used.

This is tough, the goal should be to reduce child abuse. It’s unknown if AI generated CP will increase or reduce child abuse. It will likely encourage some individuals to abuse actual children while for others it may satisfy their urges so they don’t abuse children. Like everything else AI, we won’t know the real impact for many years.

Jokes on you Slack, I’m not intelligent!

Religion has competition now, AI is also profiting from hallucinations that lots of people believe as fact.

Haha, that was literally the exact same point I stopped reading. I have emails older than this system and they weren’t stored on floppys 😂

I can’t verify this story with any reputable sources. Is this real or just boomerbait?

how would anyone know if a particular name is being unused?

I have a couple of nice domain hacks and I use them for email and random services I run so the root domain appeared to be abandoned. I received so many messages from people wanting to buy them I just started pointing them at other sites so they would stop hassling me. I’ve had one of these domains for nearly 20 years and it’s my main email address. I’m not selling because it would be a year long full time job just to update all my services 😅

I was just quoting COP because they said not to quote them

Vlan I think

Lol exactly, how dare you have a nuanced opinion!

I thought Twitter’s infrastructure was going to collapse within weeks after Musk made all those cuts and changes. I was obviously wrong because Twitter’s infrastructure didn’t collapse. I’m not speaking to the user experience on Twitter but from a purely infrastructure perspective, Musk was right and I was wrong.

And does that make Mistral the new OpenAI?

The FAA failed to regulate Boeing. I’m pro regulation and laws that protect people’s privacy. And if this company and the individuals within it break the law they should receive appropriate punishments with fines tied to international revenue.

My point is that the laws should relate to privacy independent of the technology. The “ban face recognition” narrative misses the point and doesn’t address the threats. Facial recognition technology can be used in ways that don’t threaten individuals privacy and non facial recognition technologies can be a threat to individual privacy.

It’s cynical to assume this company is breaking privacy with no evidence. But it’s fair to say there needs to be greater punishments and regulations

I doubt they would implement thing on every vending machine. They can still derive some useful analytic data from a smaller sample size

I have in other sections of this thread. I don’t want to copy and paste but I’m happy to answer any specific questions.

You pretend to care about consent and privacy and then mention my daughter by name here. You’ll notice I share photos and details about my daughter from accounts on servers I control. There is an implicit agreement in the fediverse to respect people’s privacy. I obviously don’t rely on that implicit agreement because some people do unethical things as demonstrated in your post. I protect my daughter from legitimate online privacy and security threats, I don’t play privacy and security theatre.

This vending machine is taking biometrics off of everyone who walks past

You have no evidence of this and there is no mention of this in the article. This also doesn’t make any sense from an implementation perspective.

GDPR doesn’t apply in Canada unless you are trying to operate business in Europe.

You’re correct that GDPR doesn’t apply in Canada, it’s just that GDPR is usually the strictest compliance so it’s usual for companies to meet that compliance as a minimum.

Compliance only matters if you can’t afford a fine.

GDPR fines can be tied to global revenue.

When your beliefs don’t align with the facts, consider changing your beliefs instead of doubling down on your opinions, making things up, and doing unethical things. Please try better.
