At a load of shit

Holy hell

This comment is underrated.

Make the internet ‘net’ again.

I would suggest that counselors / therpists, in fact, have backgrounds – educational and experiential – that support the ‘slick-talking BS’ you suggest, but that it is only slicktalking BS if you aren’t willing to consider the benefit you get from relating to them in the way they were trained to relate.

This is important because the ‘relating’ is what has an impact more on you socially than the ‘slicktalk.’ It’s the ‘human-to-human’ part that sticks to us longer than self-help books, prompts us to be open and considerate for change, and even supports our eventual ability for understanding ourselves a little better.

There is no ‘relating’ to an LLM. That LLM is weighted, in fact, to provide positive responses that meet the requesting of your text-based prompt.

If, in an LLM therapy session, I suddenly flip the script and write, ‘Now pretend you are a far less confrontational therpaist who understands my feelings on X or Y that we’ve been talking about, and who doesn’t want to press me on it as much,’ then I am no longer even superficially attempting ‘relate.’ The cosplay of therapy is ripped away.

The ‘relationship’ part of therapy cannot happen authentically with an LLM if I can still control the outcome.

It’s only irradiated gold if it comes from the Radioactive Startup Part of San Fransisco.

Otherwise, it’s just sparkling rock.

There’s a psychic in the movie that tells Peewee that the bicycle he lost is in the basement of the Alamo – the joke being that this is one of many instances where Peewee’s naivety gets the better of him, sending him off in another odd direction. The plot continually plays off his innocence.

Nowadays, visitors to the Alamo reference the question on tours as a running joke.

Here’s the post so you don’t have to hop into the article

I own this hat and it is everything I hoped it would be

OP is hittin’ us with the moth-related content we crave (and deserve)

It’s all computer

Based on how much the institutions of the US will continue to uphold, I think we’ll see the impact in 10 years or more. Hopefully, though – granted, hope isn’t an operational term, just an ideal – there will be some measure of course correction within that decade.

Last I recall, friendica was the most solid alternative. It is a fairly feature-complete analogue of Facebook and a few other social platforms. Maybe give it a look!

Nexus phones were the best

GrapheneOS affords you the ability to have completely isolated and distinct phone profiles, where you can install all your required work apps. They are installed separate from your main profile, kind of like second or third phone. No need for a completely different device.

GrapheneOS instantiates an improved version of this feature that Android already offers. It’s a great way to keep things separate. I do the same. Who wants to stuff their pockets or bags with more phones?

You can read about that here.

1. Pixel, and immediately install GrapheneOS.
2. A Linux based phone, like the PinePhone or Purism 5, and run your Android apps (if desired) inside Waydroid.

HELL YEAH BROTHER

Hello! I recently deployed GPUStack, a self-hosted GPU resource manager.

It helps you deploy AI models across clusters of GPUs, regardless of network or device. Got a Mac? It can toss a model on there and route it into an interface. Got a VM on a sever somewhere? Same. How about your home PC, with that beefy gaming GPU? No prob. GPUStack is great at scaling what you have on hand, without having to deploy a bunch of independent instances of ollama, llama.ccp, etc.

I use it to route pre-run LLMs into Open WebUI, another self-hosted interface for AI interactions, via the OpenAI API that both GPUStack and Open WebUI support!

@yogthos, coming in with that good-good
