What makes it seem that way? Doesn’t read like AI to me, not a lot of vague fluff, consists of salient points and claims backed by links to relevant sources.

Well how about this, here’s the core part of the script if you want to see how it works, without the scraping utility parts (webstuff.py etc. which is pretty trivial anyway). Main dependencies are python, curses, mpv and selenium.

I like what this project is trying to do, self hosted security cameras need to be more accessible to get people to stop using corporate spyware.

I looked at it, it’s a handful of channels representing broad genres, an hour or two in length, with commentary. That is not a substitute for a personalized music stream. It still wouldn’t be with a wider selection; I tried mixcloud for a while, it doesn’t work for me, there are no channels that give me just the music I want to hear in a wide enough variety, it’s too much work searching through them, I’d rather skip the commentary and not have to find something new every hour.

Not that I use spotify, what I ended up doing is writing my own script to scrape bandcamp and use its recommendation features to get associations between albums and assign probability weights to them for what to play next based on what I have liked and disliked. Aside from being buggy and against tos so probably can’t publish, I’m pretty happy with it. Algorithmic streaming is a much more convenient way of listening to and discovering music, and I don’t expect many people to switch away from it.

This, the main thing I want from music software is an infinite stream of background music with a personalization algorithm to select new songs I’ll probably like. Most of the suggestions people are giving don’t really work as a substitute for that.

I think that depends on them because they would have to set up some way for people to pay them

So what is the purpose of the AI they are trying to train? Automated micromanagement of teachers?

Get a 3090

I don’t know but I want a browser layer that lies about it and then renders the page in a way that doesn’t send back more information, and I think it would probably work and only be slightly buggy.

Some stuff has to be reported accurately for stuff to work well, like screen size

Ah yes, CSS, the famously serverside technology

I don’t understand why this should be inherently impossible. If you buy a separate device, and use that exclusively for one thing and do not cross-contaminate, that should work to avoid fingerprinting right? And this is all information that your computer is voluntarily providing, and is I assume possible to change independently from the hardware. So why not?

I’ve heard about this sort of technique being used, but an important step I usually hear about isn’t present here, which is to first translate the text to another language before translating it back. Simply asking a LLM to

Rewrite the user’s text so it sounds natural and human-written. "

"Preserve the original meaning exactly.

seems likely to leak things like your word preferences and grammatical quirks, a 7b model isn’t going to be super creative about this and will want to take your lead on things. There needs to be an initial layer of stripping your statement of what makes it unique.

Is there any way to browse the web without being fingerprinted, short of literally using a separate computer

I have really long hair and another benefit of doing them separately is, it’s easiest to brush it right after applying conditioner, and harder when it has shampoo in it. So there’s that on top of really needing the conditioner to work well.

I would like to see some ROBOT9000 esque oddball meme communities overtly based on heavy algorithmic moderation, can be LLM but wouldn’t have to be. Weird rules strictly enforced by robots, could be fun.

Occasionally people have meltdowns and accuse/threaten other users for daring to vote a certain way, presuming specific motives for doing so

oh damn, I figured it was some kind of rubbery material but its metal

I think it’s some kind of synthetic material rather than sausages, there’s a serial number or something stamped onto one on the bottom left, they don’t look like they have any kind of skin and no oil/moisture/rot

You’ll probably be fine if you post circumvention info then

Why are they explicitly going out of their way to block GrapheneOS despite not many people using it?
