Really surprised by this LTT video. They were direct on the points that lately, in the mainstream, there has only been rubbish.

It's time to call a spade a spade. ChatGPT isn't just hallucinating. It's a bullshit machine.

From TFA (thanks @mxtiffanyleigh for sharing):

"Bullshit is 'any utterance produced where a speaker has indifference towards the truth of the utterance'. That explanation, in turn, is divided into two "species": hard bullshit, which occurs when there is an agenda to mislead, or soft bullshit, which is uttered without agenda.

"ChatGPT is at minimum a soft bullshitter or a bullshit machine, because if it is not an agent then it can neither hold any attitudes towards truth nor towards deceiving hearers about its (or, perhaps more properly, its users') agenda."

Excerpt from 'Dark Wire.' It's a good read.

I wanna host something like Invidious/Piped on my SBC which can allow me to consume YouTube slop without ads.

Normally my flow for consuming YouTube slop is to download the video using yt-dlp which is then made available via jellyfin. Sometimes I view YouTube videos from my computer's Firefox but today I was shown ads despite uBlock Origin which has left me scarred and deformed (metaphorically).

I would like to run a YouTube frontend on my SBC as a backup. Public instances have not performed well for me. It would also be good for devices that don't let you use adblockers in some capacity.

I have looked at Invidious and Piped. While they are great to use, I found that their stack has a lot of components which I am hoping to avoid since they can be hard to manage.

So I'm wondering if someone here runs something like this locally for private use. Any input is appreciated.

Decarbonization of the energy, transportation and industrial sectors by 2050 is a formidable challenge, and getting there will require significant use of nuclear power. But whether nuclear power figures into a country’s future energy mix or not, rigorous planning is needed to determine the clean energy composition that will work best depending on country-specific factors.

The publication, entitled ‘From Knowledge to Action: IAEA Toolkit for Sustainable Energy Planning’, was presented during a side event held on the margins of a meeting of the G20’s Energy Transitions Working Group in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Amazon’s use of AI and robotics in its warehouses isolates workers and negatively impacts union organizing drives, a new report finds.

The report, conducted by Oxford University research team Fairwork and the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, aimed to explain how AI impacts warehouse workers by interviewing employees at robotic Amazon warehouses in the U.K.
