Very cool! So much potential for interesting stuff in this algorithm. I also recently made a minimalistic browser playable cellular automata [1] implementation for a game jam - I think it's relevant enough to link here, might be interesting to some.
I was seriousy shocked of all the abuse when I had to install a new winblows laptop for a relative. How is any of it legal? How the hell did we let it happen? Mindblowing.
This is huge, and unfortunately not surprising at all in the age of massive ever-growing out of control tech monopolies that do whatever the fuck they want. Whatever reads in the TOS now, they can and will just reword it when they need it. There's no trust.
Every service and utility gets enshittificated sooner or later, it's a given at the moment. I deleted all my private repos, github and all other MS services should be avoided in the future.
I would love to contribute. I don't know much about federated ecosystems, though. If you do, could you point me to the right direction? (Google is shit as you know.)
I installed Matrix and Synapse to my local server, but the installation process is not good, and the usability is bad. Clients are super buggy. Unusable, basically, as information got lost all the time.
I'm a game designer and a low-level game engine programmer, grumpy about slow hard-to-use software, so maybe there's a higher chance of doing more good than harm, lol.
The American culture based on greed and violence started to rot the western civilization from inside. Massive out-of-control monopolies continued to balloon to unbelivable scales. It was the beginning of the end for both the USA and the Putin dictatorship in Russia.
The pace of innovation kept growing exponentially as predicted. In the 20's humanity has reached a crossroads with technology, and will have to choose the path. Four choices. Two forwards: either a utopian or a dystopian type II civilization. Two backwards: technological degress or extinction.
edit: probably shouldn't say something like this in a mostly American forum. :) but this is essentially the world view in my local information bubble.
I had the exact same impression. Is anyone working on similar projects and planning to open source it soon? If not, I'm gonna start building one myself.
I will be supporting this ecosystem in any way I can. If you want to be empowered rather than enslaved by AI, you should consider supporting it too. Every fighter counts!
Just as I was complaining about the worst monopolies taking the lead on AI - Mozilla comes to the rescue by announcing independent open-source AI ecosystem. This is great news!
What a HUGE shame that the worst and greediest american tech monopolies are leading us into this new world. It feels extremely dystopian. Let's hope the OSS community can build something with the llama models.
