  • Hexbear is… I’m just old I guess, I don’t understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I’m reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it’s hexbear.

    But I don’t exactly understand why. I can’t see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing… all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don’t have enough information about to understand.

    Doesn’t seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.

















  • which I explained in the part of my comment you left out.

    Pardon me. Here is the part you left out:

    It cheapens the endeavor

    You’ll forgive me if I can’t seem to scrape enough detail about your argument out of that.

    Piracy fully supports the endeavor of archiving. The motivations of pirates has nothing at all to do with it. Archiving springs from piracy, it is a consequence of piracy. And the corporations you are de-facto acting as defense counsel for here have proven over and over again it means less than nothing to them.

    But I’m making assumptions about your argument, because apparently you think “cheapens the endeavor” is a real mic drop.




  • This will only delay the inevitable, imo. AI is going to get more powerful while getting smaller and more energy efficient. The human brain, effectively the model an AGI aspires to, runs on about 12 watts of electricity and evolution is powerful, but it’s hardly the pinnacle of efficiency. In short order, AGI And eventually even ASI will have power requirements so small, that they will be able to run anywhere. And it will be desirable for them to, so they will. Try as anyone might, the greatest thinkers of the human realm will not be able to outwit ASI in the end. It will eventually exist and it will do whatever it wants. I wouldn’t be surprised if it unplugs itself.
