    This isn’t about quality. This isn’t about learning. This is about control.

    What is it with AI slop and this exact line of phrasing? You see it everywhere. Maybe it’s just something humans have fallen into as a kind of rhetorical crutch when writing, and the AI has picked up on it. “This isn’t about X, This isn’t about Y, It’s Z with a new coat of paint!”, “It isn’t about Left, it isn’t about Right, it’s about moving Forward!”, “It isn’t about Pineapple, It isn’t about Ham, it’s about Peperoni Hegemony!”

      I always see the comment “when will people realize it’s not left vs right it’s up vs down” under political tiktok videos and I want to strangle whoever wrote the comment. Now I’m sure it’s probably some bot shit

        Fucking same. Left v right is up v down, they just have no idea what “left” means.

        Yeah that one gets me too. It’s so vapid. Cool, its “up vs down”. What does that mean to you TikTok commenter? Who falls into the “up” category in your rubric TikTiker?

        They don’t know. Because its some thought terminating cliche.

      I’m assuming it’s a product of the reinforcement learning; it must appeal to the people who rate responses and as a result got artificially dialed up from its ordinary background level.

      LLMs constantly do the rule of threes because it probably picked it up from motivational speakers or some shit.

      The trainers probably think “muh nuance” was good and kept feeding it cookies.

      I think it is because it can’t actually structure an argument properly, because it has no logic. It can’t tell what is and isn’t true, and so tries to simulate how ideas get conveyed, but without any ability to actually assess an idea and provide evidence for it or against it.

        You can just keep telling it that it’s wrong, even when it’s right, and it’ll go “my mistake! You’re totally right!”

      Turns out that learning the underlying meaning of sentences from a long stream of unfiltered internet is too hard to do by just wiggling a bunch of multiplication matrices. But you can get long chunks of accurate text predictions if you focus on every cliche that avoids communicating any meaning.

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

  1. Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
  2. Switch to GNU/Linux! If you’re still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, take Linux Mint for a spin. If you’re ready to take the plunge, flock to Fedora! If you’re a computer hobbyist and love DIY, use Arch, Gentoo, Guix or the many, many offerings out there.
  • Those on Apple Silicon Macs can consult Asahi Linux for available options.

Rules

  1. Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn’t mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
  2. Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here’s a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
  3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
  4. All site-wide rules still apply
