Early attempts to describe "what the web is" or "how the web works" settled on something of a paralleling/concurrency/difference engine. I'm not understanding how current end user LLM'S lend any capabilities to web end user functions. Less processing power was likely used by each instance than its takes to play a video game to give an example.....

Then it is a contemporary search engine based on 40 year old technology degraded for modern times. Vectoring to search multiple possibilities then forming a response is what search engines did very well in the early 90's. You could even use switch arguments to traverse vectors then changing the meaning of the query with arguments and return values. Technically you did not even need to have a human readable search string at all. Search engines degraded in to human staff constantly updating a database of likely responses to specific search strings and I think just behind the hype, smoke, mirrors is the same deception while the LLM is capable of handling the task.

I have a creeping suspicion that people are judging the best model on how much they approve of human responses saved in a database.

I remember the attempts to control libc distributions. With that congressional libc* immediately comes to mind.

To isolate one region from another and not have one privately owned "cloud" to trade user data between private interests "subscribers".

Doesn't seem like the ENTIRE scamable crypto front end was developed just to exploit this ...?

Closed source platforms still trading users creds to develop "user expeirence" (open source too).....

And how much money does China, Russia, Canada, put in to fox news?

And then early io_uring proposals had some hardware calls that made it look a lot like spectre/meltdown after the fact. But outrage at the time scaled those back.

Said it before.....i get it, by why that way? You are one of the maintainers, fine. But it's hard to believe it wasn't purposely flawed, bugged to be bypassed. My Opinion.

It's the fastest way to create an insecure error prone database.

Only just to declare " The earth isn't hot enough because direct sunlight has been known to kill cockroaches ......"?

That's what war is for and why it's so neat and legal. You can't "turn off " a nation. You can enslave a nation for the same purpose, "turning then off" so logically the the headline of this topic at that point is " should we begin to think about a state of autonomy for AI...?" since going to war/turning off seems impratcical, as we in general have no idea how this age of slave is outperforming us......

Then should your cockroaches be as well fed and plentiful in your home because your neighbor has an infestation ? Because your neighbor happens to be the president? That can be taken many ways with concern for the welfare of said fat cockaroach somewhere on the list.

I don't see your point and you might be misrepresenting other points? If it were simply a matter of moving to another server on bluesky it would be a common solution. Also mastodon underlying platform allows a distributed backend for instances it seems allowing a level of autonomy. Then moving to another server includes the option of physically hosting your own which is further evidence of the distributed nature of the back end. Then of course the fact that Mastodon is based in Germany in my opinion makes that distributed nature feasible due to data handling laws? You cant do that on bluesky since it was developed to be based in the United States?
