To those of you with nothing to hide: One day you might have. Because you don’t make the rules. (mullvad.net)

The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop...

I agree with the first part of your comment, I don't understand the second. Some sort of pedophilophobic rant?

Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week (www.tomshardware.com)

Microsoft has been pushing hard for its users to sign into Windows with a Microsoft Account. The newest Windows 11 installer removed the easy bypass to the requirement that you make an account or login with your existing account. If you didn't install Windows 11 without a Microsoft Account and now want to stop sending the...

Top 10 Generative AI Models Mimic Russian Disinformation Claims A Third of the Time, Citing Moscow-Created Fake Local News Sites as Authoritative Sources (www.newsguardtech.com)

That's not surprising as LLMs are fancy word prediction engines, engines that can be very useful in many applications, but that aren't designed to output what's true, just what words look right together.

Why would they go with RCS though when Google's proprietary messenger is the only Android client for that standard? Why not something open, like Matrix?

What's that?

If you want to make it more unique than 'just another ChatGPT client', you could try adding local model support, not sure how difficult that would be.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I use Jan already, and I like that it's a native app rather than a webui, I don't really like webuis. I wasn't saying there weren't any local model apps, but that there are far less than glorified ChatGPT clients.

And if they were going to make theirs cross platform, it would in fact be the first FOSS local model app for Android. (Layla Lite exists but is not FOSS).

Cool, thanks!

I banned my daughter from using the iPhone she bought. It made her a better person | Em Rio (www.theguardian.com)

I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

RCS is the wrong standard to use though, as there isn't a single FOSS Android RCS client. They should support something like Matrix.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

That wasn't what I was saying though. I was talking about what should happen, not what is likely to happen, and criticising the EU for pushing for the wrong thing.

This has the potential to be really cool if the software, including the AI, is local and open source, and the hardware is easily repairable.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

Is it? Even if it is, it's probably dropping in favour of win10, rather than Linux.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I wish I shared your optimism. Most likely most regular users won't care about not getting security updates, some of the ones that do will switch to Linux, but the majority (of the minority of people that care about getting security updates) will probably switch to win11, macOS, or ChromeOS (which might as well not be based on the Linux kernel seeing as it's so locked down).

Well, we haven't solved the hard problem of consciousness, so we don't know if size of brain or similarity to human brain are factors for developing consciousness. But perhaps a more important question is, if it did develop consciousness, how much pain would it experience?

I don't why they even care so much, there are open source, comparatively powerful LLMs without these restrictions. Or you could just search a search engine for how to make meth. I didn't think the knowledge was illegal, just putting it into practise.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

If Open AI was the only LLM, your argument might make sense. But they're not, there are lots of FOSS LLMs with no restrictions. Even if 'Open' AI managed to fully censor their own AI, there would be lots of other models for people who don't like censorship to use to, for example, generate a pseudoscientific article about the Nazis. But also, a human could write that article without AI. And people would rightfully call it out as bullshit. It doesn't really matter if AI wrote it.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

There are FOSS image generators too, I don't see your point.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah, it doesn't support Nationwide in the UK either, so no go for me too. Maybe there should be a standard, open protocol for connecting to bank cards to pay, so each company doesn't have to separately approach every bank?

You can actually make it look exactly like Chrome, Safari, whatever you want with userChrome.css. Mine currently looks like Safari.

Well fortunately it doesn't matter what you think, and people will keep developing and improving open source AI nonetheless.

Is that 128GB of VRAM? Because normal RAM doesn't matter unless you want to run the model on the CPU, which is much slower.

I have a Asus laptop with a GTX 1660 ti with 6GB VRAM. I use Jan for LLMs, only the 7B models or lower are small enough for my hardware though, and Krita with the AI Image Generation plugin for image generation, most things work in it, except it fails with an 'out of VRAM' error if I try to inpaint an area more than about 1/8 of my canvas size.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Any tips on how to get stable diffusion to do that? I'm running it through Krita's AI Image Generation plugin, and with my 6GB VRAM and 16GB RAM, the VRAM is quite limited if I want to inpaint larger images, I keep getting 'out of VRAM' errors. How do I make it switch to RAM when VRAM is full? Or with Jan for that matter, how can I get it to partially use RAM and partially VRAM so I can get it to run models larger than 7B?

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Why should they have to support Windows 10 when Linux would run fine on your 'old' machine? That really puts the 'yours' back in your computer, no need for a company to do it for you.
