In light of 1Password’s financial support for DHH/Omarchy, are you making any changes?

@stanley I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt - it’s just a tech deal - until the CEO came out in support of DHH and his worldview personally. That’s untenable to me.

so here’s the Internet Archive exposing kids to an “open weight” LLM model lazily trained on someone else’s climate research

the kids got exposed to a technology that causes cognitive surrender, and the results from ClimateLLM were extremely bad. llama, which ClimateLLM is barely derived from, was of course trained by doing damage to poor people and the environment. but you knew this.

so anyway this research was funded by DLT: https://www.eci.io/about which stands for Digital Ledger Technology

these motherfuckers took money from a cryptocurrency company, a field notorious for doing a ton of environmental damage, to expose kids to a ClimateLLM that does not in fact solve any climate problems at all

yeah, so about the Internet Archive

the IA were already crypto bros too btw

https://archive.ph/dQiQh

the AI is from ECI who are an AI org who are into crypto ("decentralized", "DLT", Hedera) https://www.eci.io/about

we know the answer to climate change, it's stop burning fossil fuel, e.g. on fucking chatbots you incredible fuckheads

oh yeah ECI lie their AI was trained on renewables, fucksakes it's literally a tweaked copy of llama

Here's my reimplementation of my Forth machine in Spade, in case you want to play with it.

https://codeberg.org/cliffle/cfm-spade

My 2017-vintage Forth lives again!

The ULX3S is the nicest of the target platforms so far, but for old time's sake I've included a demo compatible with the tiiiiiny HX1K part on the Icestick eval board.

The SoC is still pretty bare-bones compared to the Clash version, but I only started learning this HDL a couple days ago, bear with me.

It really hurts me that the 99% invisible podcast is now promoting Claude AI by accepting them as sponsor. The podcast is still very good. Le sigh.

@zzt @internetarchive Why don't they ask a shipping company, an oil company, and a concrete manufacturer to join them in their quest to fix global warming? Maybe Turkmenistan could contribute.

If only there were people, maybe ones attached to the UN, who knew how to stop our atmosphere heating up, perhaps we could have asked them instead?

@internetarchive like seriously, what am I supposed to feel here, IA?

you exposed a bunch of kids to a technology that leads to cognitive surrender

it gave them a bunch of fucking useless answers

training it fucked over a bunch of poor people and had a severe environmental cost

the fuck am I supposed to be feeling?

In the meantime it may actually be easier to register an fpm account for your Fortran libraries than it is to get a PAUSE id.

... possibly not inaccurate. i did many years ago try to get a second PAUSE account under another identity, but appparently this concept is alien to PAUSE people. i suppose this was before trans people had been discovered.

@internetarchive oh how cool you lazily fed a bunch of climate data someone else came up with to llama, a non-open “open weight” model whose training, again, fucked over a bunch of poor people and did a bunch of environmental damage. and the results from doing this were really fucking bad.

and just this in, of course it’s also a fucking cryptocurrency scam: https://www.eci.io/about what in the fuck is wrong with you

I know switching is going to hurt. It looks like BitWarden is the best alternative right now…? (Maybe? Other recommendations?) And I know I'm going to be annoyed with it, even more than I’m annoyed now.

But the thing is that now when I see 1Password, every single time, I think of racist rants against people who aren’t “native born,” I think of ICE smashing car windows and dragging people away right off the streets where I live, and I think of all 18 years of my 1Password subscription money funding the people behind that kind of racism.

Every time I open 1Password. Every single autocomplete.

I'm out.
