Decentralisation.
I will never use any other kind of social media again.
Slightly? It's openly racist
Why is Cachy more independent than Arch?
It will change society. It won't improve skills.
Studies already show the opposite at play. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872v1
If the LLM could teach you how to code, but couldn't do the coding for you, it would be a tool for improvement. But it isn't used that way. Instead of saying "teach me how to code this", people are more inclined to say "code this for me".
On top of that, they're controlled by corporations who are not in the slightest bit interested in your welfare, privacy or economic success. They will invade your privacy, fuck over the environment, fuck over people and load their LLMs with propoganda and barriers that serve their political and social interests.
And as a bonus, they're a nightmare for the environment.
Having said all of that. I agree, they are going to fundamentally reshape society. But it's like the industrial revolution. Yeah, we ended up with a more efficient society, but it didn't make people freer, it further entrenched wealth in the hands of the wealthy, whilst fucking up the environment. That's what LLMs are going to do.
We could do them differently. That implementation isn't inherent in their nature. But we won't do them differently, because the people pushing it want the shitty outcome, because it's not shitty for them.
Think of how shitty and scam filled the early internet was. Did we abandon it because of how shitty it was at first,
It wasn't though... That was mid to late term internet
I can't produce testosterone anymore, and I've got a few years worth of injections spare. After that runs out, I guess it's menopause time...
Our setup uses a domain pointed at a dynamic (but stable) IP with a script to update it periodically

You have to be a permanent resident first, and Australia is really stingy about giving out permanent residency. Basically, you need to have the right skills, the right amount of money, or the right family member.
If you don't have them, paperwork won't help

This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!
And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

This Kookaburra, was staring at the chips of a guy who had laid down on the grass and closed his eyes. A moment later, the heist succeeded!
