But usually it's some long manifesto about loving a baby or experiencing hunger or something. I'm not saying I disagree or that I believe that AI is "conscious" I'm just not sure what the point of the debate is and what this word 'consciousness' (that philosophers have anyway been debating the meaning of for centuries) has to add to the AI discourse.

I need to spend some more time reading Fable's one but so far I'm quite impressed. This paragraph was also interesting

> And the question this site exists to raise: why not an AI king? It is 2026; the thought is no longer science fiction, and a document written by an AI owes it a straight answer. The answer is no, and the reason is not that the AI would be stupid. It is that the proposal does not solve the power problem — it relocates it, to whoever trains, instructs, audits, and can switch off the AI, which is to say it creates the most concentrated and least transparent throne in history and then asks who holds it. Premise 5 does not care that the throne is made of silicon; it asks, as always, who corrects the error? — and premise 9 guarantees there will be errors, baked invisibly into objectives and training data, executed at machine speed. An unaccountable perfect ruler is a contradiction: unaccountable means the errors do not surface, and errors that do not surface compound (premise 9) until they are catastrophic. What AI is actually for, in utopia, is the opposite role — instrument, not throne: the auditor that reads every public contract for theft, the translator in every courtroom and clinic, the forecaster that prices the migration formula, the tireless eye that makes transparency-by-default searchable by anyone. Mechanical, inspectable, swappable, and subordinate. Take it from the AI: do not crown one.

yes the schedule is full but its not just no space for more trains, more no space for unpredictable trains

https://github.com/MinBZK/mijn-bureau-infra/

They show all the components they use here https://minbzk.github.io/mijn-bureau-infra/docs/category/com... and have set up guides for departments to operate it all on Kubernetes

I'm guessing from my own use of NextCloud, Matrix etc that this will simply be deemed not good enough compared to Google Workspace or Microsoft WhateverItsCalledNow as these things are pretty rough around the edges in my experience, but this looks like a good step in the right direction to me

I left it running because it's my first project ever to get traction in terms of regular users, even though it costs me a few dollars a month to run. It's clearly not good enough to pay for

Regional trains are part of Germany's new super cheap unlimited travel ticket, which excludes ICE and afaik this is why they are now super crowded but I haven't taken them recently so no first hand experience

I'm not doing anything fancy with the scraping so even if no paywall but some botblocking it will probably fail but worked across bbc, cnn, politco, and several other major news sites I tried

These are the two options I see to download https://i.ritzastatic.com/static/1e133ef5057a949b7ddd92e5668...

And the 'main' one that I usually use doesn't have export settings that I can find

For removing noise you might want to look into TF-IDF instead of the manual method described in the post that I didn't understand. It basically looks for words common across the whole corpus as noise or ones that appear within a specific chat much higher than the whole dataset as interesting.

You can also do some fun stuff by finding phrases used asymmetrically eg more by one person in the convo than the other, or over time.

Wordclouds per person are also fun!

I think it was clearly useful for months to people who had tried it and taken the time to understand it, but now that knowledge has spread to the point where wallet holders are convinced it's not just passing fad or hype so now pmf can be "claimed".

I agree it's weird to say "those people have pmf" though, usually it's something you define for yourself

Anyone will hopefully lend you a phone if you're in a pinch but I realized that I don't know very numbers to actually call and it's kinda weird to start using email/Whatsapp whatever on a strangers phone compared to asking to visit one site and make one call

I had a shitty android app that I'm forced to use, I chatted to AI and it reverse engineered a binary that talks to some hardware using Bluetooth and built me a simpler version with only the buttons I needed.

I love chatting to AI.

The people the OP describes are assholes and AI amplifies them. I've met all those people and it annoys me too. The internet and phones made all of these problems worse too but we developed spam filters and trained people not to mass forward stupid meme emails.

We'll learn how to use AI better and develop better controls for people to get away from it too but it's a huge net positive from my perspective
