How many trees to send some text? Lol, my aging phone depletes its battery more if I don’t use it xD

I just have a high level of distrust of FAANG, and of proprietary software; I still use most stuff I’m not very extreme in practice

Who’s to say that local LLM model won’t be used when we leave our device on standby, to ease a usage spike from other users? It’s technically possible, the things stopping many companies are the potential legal trouble (but there’s an ever longer TOS for that), different levels of morality, company culture, etc.; many botnets were from simple games installed by regular people connected on a residential line. Some VPNs have been caught using their clients line as an endpoint for other clients in different countries

You could say it’s a ridiculous thought for now regarding this “hidden” Gemini local LLM, I just feel like it’s a possibilty.

Bingo

Probably a ridiculous notion but personally I wouldn’t feel 100% sure my device isn’t joining a distributed bot net ai datacenter for other people’s slop generation, burning my energy, my battery, my ssd (higher temps shorten their half life) without my consent

It’s from KDE so usually Linux

Edit: …realising there’s also Dolphin Emulator and now I’m also confused lol but still feel they’re talking about KDE file manager vs Win Explorer

I also think it’s infantile behaviour, crowd/group mind psychology where they collectively act worse than the individual; IMHO the bully/cat caller gets pleasure in reaffirming their role within the group and will continue to do so unless somebody from the group itself strongly challenges them (complains, warns them, etc) or something else goes badly for them from bystanders intervening.

They pretty much don’t care about the response from the victim unless it’s “entertaining” and reenforces their clown act

Not a psych worker, just my 2c

BTW it reminds me of the phenomenon where a crowd freezes instead of helping an injured person, since there’s too many people and little “per capita” pressure to help a stranger in need

Yea and they’re increasing too, skirting immissions regulations by being imported as agricultural machines

I’m sure it’s fiiine, lots of babies are doing it. They can’t read your PSA anyway so it’s all good :P

They canceled my delay!!

This is correct. From Larousse:

Familier. Abandonner brusquement quelqu’un, quelque chose quelque part : Il m’a planté au coin de la rue.
