I think that everyone should try to play Go / Baduk and get an idea of the principles of strategy that it teaches in microcosm.
One of the principles that translates from Go and Aikido is the concept of not being where the strike is landing.
This is why you do not find me on all but one mainstream social media. This is why I have removed my streamers and avoid buying books (or anything) on Amazon.
The best kind of resistance that anyone can enact is being inscrutable. Live in the long tail, and be agile.

It's always worth remembering that there's always more than one side of a story. I have chosen to avoid drama because, in the end, it's worth more to me to have peace and to know who tries to see the whole picture.
That said, it's sad to see people I've cared about unable to grow because they fail to see where they're the source of their own problems.

Tonight's question on top of mind is how to be open, as in open source, free as in liberty, without feeding a training model that will be the demise of that community.

If you told me all of the Star Wars movies existed to provide a context to make Andor a powerful series, I'd accept that. I'd even go so far as to say it would make Episodes I and IX forgivable.

Here's a question for everyone posting their takes, usually "against", on LLM/AI here?
Who are you trying to convince?
Who do you think is actually listening?
Do you think you're informing anyone?

Someone (maybe a human?) sent me a follow request on an alt. The stuff of theirs I read to do a little "recon" verged on unreadable and set off my bullshit detectors. There were so many big 'ol obscure words strung together that it turned into semantic noise.
I was immediately reminded of the "Inkhorn Controversy" in the 16/17th century. People were bringing in words to make English sound more smarter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkhorn_term
But seriously, either a bot or total head-up-ass academia.
