Sweeet I’m glad it helped!

Have you tried the workarounds like disabling some exploit protections for the app? It can be finicky but sometimes it’ll make it usable

The rest of the world isn’t in a state of perpetual war. The rest of the world isn’t toppling governments to install subservient leaders. The rest of the world doesn’t have 800+ military bases around the world. That’s just the US and NATO. They are the imperial core and they operate differently from the countries that are anti imperialist or being imperialized. Hope that helps

Even the most vote-blue-no-matter-who Democrat ideology is fundamentally imperialist and genocidal. Don’t kid yourself. That’s always been the function of the US military

There’s an immense difference between a conscripted person dying in a war versus a volunteer soldier dying in an aggressive war of choice. You’re arguing for sympathy for the modern equivalent of the fucking SS on their way to roll through Eastern Europe

They have some territorial disputes, but certainly my read is also that it’s mostly vassal behavior. Don’t wanna piss of the bosses

My point was more so that the argument that humans can be modeled with math & physics implies that LLMs are/could become intelligent, conscious things, since they’re also based on math, is nonsense. These are statistical prediction algorithms; they work nothing like a nervous system or a conscious living being. They can be impressive in narrow use cases, like all ML, but they cannot actually learn or perform novel tasks. I don’t think this rules out the possibility of creating some sort of true artificial intelligence, but the current approaches are structurally unable to ever get there, and the conversation above makes really weak points to the contrary. But this was too many words so I figured my other approach was better for brevity lol

Edit: “AI” slop bros stay mad lmao

As a mathematician, it should be noted that the mathematics of physics aren’t laws of the universe, they are models of the laws of the universe. They’re useful for understanding and predicting, but are purely descriptive, not prescriptive. And as they say, all models are wrong, but some are useful

“Side load” is just language used to mean installing software outside of the official approved vendor store. Linux lets you install software from wherever you want, you’re not locked into a vendor or manufacturer ecosystem. So in a sense all you do is “sideload,” it’s just normal non-corporate OSes call that “installation”

I’ve got a GLiNet router with OpenWRT, running adguard on it. Best router experience I’ve ever had. I wonder how quick this ruling takes effect, might be smart to buy another while I can lol
