Very little happens in Lenexa so they gotta stick the pigs on whatever they can obv

In the US Undergraduate commonly refers to a bachelors in my experience. Usually folks specifically say associates degree if that's what they are referring to

There was a brief live action Dresden files on the Sci Fi channel iirc

Didn't know he's been in Red Nation as well, but the Rev Left interview was super interesting. Really looking forward to reading this one

hungrybread OP ,

Certainly in agreement with that, and hopefully many users of the bear site and other adjacent instances are involved with, or getting involved with, their local orgs. It's also crystal clear that USAmerican leftists do not currently know how to pull the masses towards the direction of liberation. I guess I'm personally looking for tactics and strats that folks on the ground are using and how they are working or aren't working so people outside of those hyper local contexts can re-apply effective tools in their own cities.

hungrybread OP ,

Can't really tell what the intended tone of this is. Kinda reads like you're calling me a lib for using the word "involved." If this is meant as a joke, all good, I appreciate that we are all dealing with shit atm.

If this is meant as actual critique I would urge you to be more direct, as your post stands now this reads like a reddit comment or a very liberal critique from a disingenuous socdem.

hungrybread OP ,

Thank you comrade! Really appreciate the thoughtful response and links.

hungrybread OP ,

No need to put yourself or your efforts down! This is a piece of agitation and education, and its always good to hear a comrade not leaving their politics at the door because its socially problematic or inconvenient. In some of my own relationships I've struggled with towing the revolutionary line (its a work in progress as always), but I do always try to push back on liberal and fascist narratives + educate and agitate when folks I know bring them up. Are you involved in any orgs?

FWIW most of my agitation time is spent with a local org where we use a variety of tactics to attempt to educate, agitate, and organize, and that feels (in a purely vibes based way) much more effective since we can reach a much larger audience and community members we've never met before. We do struggle with organizing actions to try getting folks on the ground and organized not feeling effective at times (or being somewhat liberal in nature, even if the rhetoric is revolutionary), and I would love to hear from other orgs on how they have successfully turned well meaning libs into thoughtful communists consistently.

hungrybread OP ,

Thanks for elaborating and the tone indicator. I had to look up what sealioning even is - I certainly wasn't trying to tone police you, I was just asking you to clarify your tone since I couldn't infer it from your original post and it clearly mattered.

I have no way of knowing how you feel or what your intentions were when you replied and really thought I was going out of my way to politely ask for clarification while pushing back with some critique. I stand by what I said that you should be more direct but in hindsight I should have phrased it differently - suggesting you were lib or socdem rather than more directly saying that your original post (if it was in earnest, which you have clarified it wasnt to some extent) smacked of a form of liberalism was not a very useful shorthand, and I apologize for that.

No harm was meant in my original reply to you, i was really earnestly asking for clarification. Thanks for spending the time clarifying comrade.

hungrybread OP ,

Thanks!

I have similar concerns and this has been rolling around the back of my mind a good chunk of the year. I do think programmers with revolutionary outlooks should lean into these tools for building out organizing tool kits and sharing them. Removing toil from revolutionary orgs seems more than worth the one time(ish) cost of using llms to build the toil removers. I'd love to see some techy comrades get together and pump out tools to smash fash (hmu if anyone knows of any).

Readily available Llms don't seem ready yet (if ever, of course) for historical material analysis IMO, but it seems like an interesting space for a specially trained llm. I do doubt that it would be worth the cost though - we have a pretty strong analysis of capitalism already

Fwiw I have very little experience with these tools still and would also love a glossary from comrades that highlights where they would benefit the working class' struggle

hungrybread ,

Thats really unfortunate. I didn't know Russia used court precedent as part of their law practice. For whatever reason I thought that was a UK/US/Common Law thing.

hungrybread ,

Plz explain, what are we looking at here?

hungrybread ,

Same, I should have changed majors way back when that was popping off. I could have been a depressed traffic engineer instead of a depressed software "engineer"

I really got to start attending these movie nights

hungrybread ,

Ooo I would really appreciate that

hungrybread ,

Does this come up often?

hungrybread OP ,

I'm pretty open minded regarding industry, Im really more concerned with external impacts of the job (which sounds loftier than it is, the goal is to have a neutral or better effect on the community / environment / etc). Coincidentally I'm also in the Midwest and agriculture sounds interesting. Fwiw I'm currently a tech worker and don't really know anything about the ag industry though

hungrybread OP ,

That seems like unfortunate timing :/ . I'm definitely curious to learn more about your co-op though! Would you prefer to share in DMs?

hungrybread OP ,

Yeah, definitely seems that way. Its pretty cool that ag has so many co-ops. I was under the impression that a good amount of them aren't necessarily structured as a worker co-op (I think ive seen the term seller co-op before?), but I am very ignorant to how those actually work/how specific ag co-ops might work.

What field of CS are you doing your PhD in?

hungrybread OP ,

Thats interesting! I'll have to check that out. Any co-ops that you would suggest taking a look at first?

Any interesting projects in the works?

hungrybread ,

Yes, but I used a bunch of LLMs in it and that's cringe.

doesn't seem cringe to me at all tbh! It's a cool project that you're looking at providing free of charge and if you're using LLMs to make that process faster/easier/more pleasant then that seems like the ideal use case of LLMs in coding imo. to be fair though I was using LLMs for some personal projects recently to get them off the ground for similar purposes (sharing with others for free), so maybe I'm a little biased.

What's the consensus on True Anon and the hosts?

Ive listened to a few episodes but I can't really parse through the rampant sarcasm from both the community and the hosts themselves as to what the general consensus is in regards to considering them "left" or what theyre even all about. Some of the things they say and talk about are typical liberal/reactionary nonsense and I ...

Isn't that saying per year?

Did I get the word "wild" from this site? Ive been wondering why I started saying it so much

hungrybread ,

That is kinda impressive, NGL. Any links for the pics? I only saw questionable reddit links

PSA: Do *not* participate in any NixOS official community spaces

They have virtually no moderators (they all quit because they were burnt out and manipulated), filled with racist lmayo, and are associated deeply with anti-migrant violence and warmongering (Anduril) who hire people straight out of NixOS to build weapons to fund imperialism everywhere. ...

What are framework and dhh in this context?

How are folks factoring in NSPM-7 while organizing? ( www.kenklippenstein.com )

Without giving away personal or org information, what are you and your orgs doing with respect to NSPM-7 announced a few days ago? Any changes to what actions your orgs may consider down the road? Suggestions for tightening up opsec? Any union (labor, tenant, or otherwise) members foresee this impacting any ongoing union work?

Wish I had thought of this earlier, smh

A "stablecoin" pinned to nvidia stock does seem like something that could happen this year

Interesting, do you have some examples?

Wtf why are reddit users like that

hungrybread ,

They did? Apparently I missed the follow up, but guess its not really surprising

hungrybread ,

If the project doesn't have to be a traditional crypto, but just an alternative payment system, there's probably some stuff already. I've bumped into community based time tracking software before that had a similar goal of making sure folks were compensated for taking care of common spaces and neighbors.

I think we could somewhat reasonably setup a labor voucher network where participating organizations and people can compensate other individuals with single use vouchers for time worked, that can then be used at that same network of participating companies. Like all monetary like systems its subject to many potential exploits, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are already some decent technical and social solutions for many of them.

The reddit op is vile, but why dig up a 10 month old post for slop? The people yearn for fresh slop.

If I want to run a solo DnD game, is chatGPT fine for that?

Id rather NOT use something that will share my personal details with questionable institutions, but deepseek won't remember anything I typed in my current session (and for the libs out there, no, I don't care if China has my personal details; it's not China that can and might use my personal details against me). ...

hungrybread ,

I tend to agree regarding the environmental angle to abolish llms, but in cases like this I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. I don't have the resource usage numbers, but if I had to venture a guess regarding environment cost the actual cost of using an llm for something like this vs playing baldurs gate 3 for a similar experience, surely bg3 would blow the llm usage (not training) costs out of the water. The environmental cost of buying a printed DnD rulebook would also by itself be more.

Granted, a user could just find a PDF or whatever, but thats not really my point in this case. I just think we probably need to have concrete understanding of the costs of llms (and where it comes from) when levying critiques of the technology.

hungrybread ,

Not doubting you, but wasn't able to find anything from a quick search. Could you elaborate?

hungrybread ,

I'm too lazy to look for any of their documentation about this, but it would be pretty bold to believe privacy or processing claims from OpenAI or similar AI orgs, given their history flouting copyright.

Silicon valley more generally just breaks laws and regulations to "disrupt". Why wouldn't an org like OpenAI at least leave a backdoor for themselves to process API requests down the road as a policy change? Not that they would need to, but it's not uncommon for a co to leave an escape hatch in their policies.
