I don’t have to get past the preface to read things like:

" I should also give some space to Amotz Zahavi’s idea that altruistic donation might be a ‘Potlatch’ style of dominance signal: see how superior to you I am, I can afford to make a donation to you!"

But don’t worry, I’ll read the entire book and highlight what I think is most despicable. Is it just a Lemmy post? Yes, but this matter is important to me.

I’ll think of it as if I were writing a scientific article of low reach.

Edit: Further down the PREFACE:

"Similar feeble thoughts have been strung together to produce the impression that Darwinian social theory is reactionary in its political implications. "

. He calls his theory a Darwinian social theory! This is a joke!

Moving on.

The Market God predicts that the 8-ball will say ‘Yes’. The 8-ball says ‘No’.

The selfish gene is about applying a darwinian solution to humans. It’s where the memetic experience comes in. The Nature reporter themselves talks about the “Replicator”.

I’ve read it twice, the last time being 2021, but maybe I’ll have to read it again to resist this shit mainstream Science is trying to feed the world.

Social darwinism is wrong. The human will show itself in all its beautiful complexity despite dumb simplified theories.

Any restablished connection sends telemetry data.

“Esse país está pra alugar.” - Raul Seixas

Em outras palavras, o alquiler do mundo digital é lucrativo pra essas empresas e não é novidade. Essa organização pesada do futuro do mundo, guiando o que é possível, o que é possível no mundo “físico” e o que é possível saber. É horrível.

Um verdadeiro mundo cyberpunk onde algumas empresas ditam tecnologia e política enquanto ficamos presos em torno de carros voadores.

Vale a pena “degoogle” se você quer ter um smartphone “degoogled”.

So the narrative now is humans are not needed anymore? This is BS. It’s just difficult to deal with BS that comes from the University of Berkeley, but people will prove stronger than BS again.

Look at his suit. Ugh. Is it a gift from Elon Musk?

I think those tech moguls are really betting on the political power of AI. That it can overturn elections, hack powerful systems, change regimes, advance science incredibly.

All of which are social achievements. Except the moguls themselves and their projects are not social at all.

So they bet: “Our projects are so politically relevant the money won’t matter.”. And it ends up mattering, maybe. I don’t know, I’m no political scientist.

No curses are being lifted tonight.

Ollama is an open-source software platform developed by Jeffrey Morgan and Michael Chiang in 2023 for running and managing large language models on local GPU infrastructure and through hosted cloud models.

I don’t think it has anything to do with Meta

More billion (or trillion) parameters give exponentially less return, and they keep adding parameters (which also increases the cost exponentially) anyway. This is just one of the infinite signs that those companies don’t give a single f*** about society or the well being of the population.

Test yourself on Ollama now, since the servers are way more stable as of now. Deepseek-4.1 is just as good as GPT-6.

Edit: you have to create an interface with tools for using Ollama Cloud, and this isn’t exactly directly available as of now, so keep that in mind before signing in.

ChatGPT, prove to me that Sam Altman is an idiot.

I’m quite glad OpenAI is showing its Elon Musk (or Grok) face. It makes me understand why Elon Musk was an original founder. Thank you for showing your true colors always.

You know, since we’re on this topic, I think a small LLM powered by tool use would be cool. But things need to be better. For example, will you rely forever on DuckDuckGo that for instance relies on Bing? That’s a bad idea. Someone needs to get CommonCrawl or make new datasets and power it using tool use. Tool use + a small LLM would be useful for many uses that people have for LLMs. That would cut energy use and the need for large DataCenters a lot. Isn’t that what you want?
