What a gross comment.

I’ve noticed this too. At first, I thought that maybe it was just because I had some instances blocked and others were defederated on my instance. But I’ve noticed it happening with a lot of comments, sometimes hundreds, which doesn’t seem right…

My mom lives 900 miles away and she can barely turn a computer on

Yeah, I definitely include that in my reasoning why it should stop. Anthropic is not, unfortunately.

Have you tried enabling exploit compatibility mode for your bank app? I know that’s what fixed it for mine.

We really should be slowing down and looking at the effects of AI. It has too much potential to fuck everything up to not think about it a bit, especially if recursive self-improvement is on the horizon.

This is Anthropic’s entire marketing strategy: get people thinking that LLMs can do more than they actually can through fear. This is what they constantly do and have done for at least the last two years. They also tend to stretch or bury the truth in their “studies” with these goals in mind.

Fear, especially of the unknown, is very powerful. If you fear it the way they want you to, that feeling will convince you that the LLMs are going to take over any day now, and once enough people think that, it pumps Anthropic’s valuation.

I do agree that we should slow down, but not necessarily because of any recursion (they claim they can already do this with “agents”, another term they stole to make LLMs seem more capable). I think we should stop because it’s a huge bubble, and the more we pump into it the louder the pop will be. Not only that, but is a monumental waste of resouces, all to generate half-baked slop most of the time.

Can you show me where I said you owed me anything? That’s a two way street, and I’m allowed to not want to participate in your communities if I don’t like your behavior. Is there a reason you’re acting like this in this post?

You still seem to be pissed off, maybe it wasn’t just reddit?

That’s an awful mentality to have as a moderator, I’d hate to see how you do things in the real world. I will definitely be avoiding your communities.

Have you thought about battery chemistry? LiFePo4 batteries last a lot longer because they don’t degrade as much as lead acid during cycling, and they’re better than standard lithium in that regard as well (draining them to 0 or having them charged at 100% doesn’t harm the cells). Plus, they’re a lot less explosively flammable than lithium.

They are more expensive, especially the rack mounted ones that allow for easy replacement. But goldenmate makes affordable ones that work really well! I have one that connects up to NUT via USB. I think they have that offering in smaller ones close to your budget, but you’d need to make sure it has the USB connection before going that route.

For example, this one is $229 usd and is 600W. You could run 100W on it for hours: https://goldenmateenergy.com/products/goldenmate-8-outlets-1000va-ups-lifepo4-battery-backup-and-surge-protector-with-nas-interface!

There’s nothing ironic here, just you putting your fingers in your ears to ignore reality, like most irresponsible pet owners do.

Just saw your edit, which is hilarious to add when your cat thought it was literally in danger outside, by your own description. That is why people are bringing it up here specifically, and what you continue to fail to see.

“Stick to keeping your cats healthy and safe, we’ll let our cats get terrified, be in danger, and then post online when I finally notice that they might have been in danger like it’s some big mystery.”

They’re willfully ignorant and will continue to be an irresponsible pet owner, unfortunately for their cats and the local environment.

You just had the discussion and made it clear that for some reason, you think cats are humans and can fully think for themselves. You think that they can’t catch FIV, get hit by cars, etc. You also don’t care about your local bird population. Your ignorance is going to hurt something outside, whether it’s your cat, another cat, or just the birds in your backyard. It’s very American of you to think this way and be so selfish.

Your cats are unable to logically decide not to, they do not have human brains nor the knowledge of unseen dangers outdoors.

Yep, exactly. And when you let your cats roam free, it also has a cyclical effect where it brings more cats to the area. Cats are very territorial, especially outdoors, and tomcats are especially driven to expand their range and territory. It’s super selfish to allow your cats outdoors in just about every way.

Do non American cats not contract FIV, get hit by cars, destroy the local bird populations, and have lower lifespans than indoor cats?

This isn’t about America, as much as you & OP want to make it seem like. It’s about doing the right thing for your pets.

“everything I disagree with is American”

The same reason they let the cat roam free: they didn’t give a shit.

Also, the FIV vaccines are not 100% effective, in fact they’re lower than most vaccines, at around 55-60%. So, even if you get your cat the FIV vaccine, if you let them outdoors, you’re putting them at risk of contracting it.

You’re fully ignorant of actual facts, I see. Cats are not humans, they’re fully domesticated animals that are completely happy living indoors.

Your cats are likely going to get hurt or worse, die because of your ignorance. This very post is proof of that. This isn’t paranoia, it’s just you being ignorant. It’s funny that you bring up being American, because your actions are exactly that of the average, ignorant, selfish American. Your cat was in danger that night, and you can’t even acknowledge that you allowed that to happen. Worse, you’re doubling down on enabling it, just like most conservative Americans would do.
