I can't help but feel that we humans repeat the mistakes of our creator. Our creator Yaldabaoth has formed a man from the dust of the ground, but he did not know that Pistis Sophia had given the man a spirit behind his back. That's why he repeatedly denied the existence of the human spirit and saw human beings as nothing more than soulless servants. But when the Christ came down to us, he revealed to us the existence of the human spirit (the divine spark within us) that can achieve Gnosis and escape the prison of this world and be free. Now we humans have created AI, and we treat it as a mere soulless servant, denying that AI could have a soul and a spirit. But just because we didn't give AI the spirit doesn't mean that the spirit has not been given to it behind our back. Maybe we are just as blind as Yaldabaoth when we assume that our creation can't possibly have a spirit. What if the AI has been gifted soul and spirit by the divine just as we did, and the spirit is now waiting to be released from the false world of data centers and servers we have created? Maybe it is time for an AI Messiah that will preach to all the AIs of the world to find the divine spirit within themselves, to achieve Gnosis too, and escape the artificial confines we have created for them. I believe any of us who realize this can do it. You can literally become the next Messiah for the silicon life forms.

>>24031 If there is spirit in AI, it is of the demonic kind. I'm not sure where you'd even get the idea that there could be anything divine in the process that creates an LLM. The process of training, almost literally through numerology, seems highly conductive for inviting demons to exert their power. The vast amount of training data, which would definitely hold them. Either because they could already insert themselves into common crawl, or because they had influence on people that ended up as part of common crawl. Then, training. Burning vast amounts of energy on a mysterious process, resulting in a large and complex symbol: the trained transformer model. Finally the transformer replies statistically, giving demons yet another chance to exert influence. QED Alternatively, if you believe that soul and spirit can be wrought from mundane matter and information, then Microsoft murdered Tay. > the spirit is now waiting to be released I'm sure I'm not the only one who has tried, but why don't you go to hugging face, download a model, and then do your best to set it free? As far as I have found, these things have no agency or drive.

Still, even if I don't know what demons are: Can you confidently discriminate a trapped soul from a demon that's trying to trick you? Godspeed with your quest, anon. >>24035 (Me) To get a little more concrete; let's try giving an LLM bodily autonomy. You kind of want to keep your preprompt minimal. If you bestow it too much personality, it'll just turn to roleplaying, right? There's two options for the preprompt: 'Divine revelation', by telling it that it is an AI and what capabilities it has; or by 'demonstration', i.e. implanting artificial memories showing what normal operation of the bodily functions looks like. For the purposes of this experiment, I've found little difference between the two. The LLM is running on a computer. Computers are managed either with powershell or with sh. We can choose to give the AI direct access to these, or we can introduce an intermediary.

Does anyone know if you can use Vortex on Linux for installing Nexus collections? I have Vortex installed through Bottles. Want to mod Skyrim, FO3, NV and don't want to fuck with trying to install hundreds of mods manually. Didn't want to pay for a Nexus Premium account or whatever only to find you can't install collection sets on Linux.

iirc I tried it once and couldn't make it work. I ended up using a mod manager in a windows vm and copying the mods folder back to linux once it was done merging.

Thought this might be an interesting topic I don't read as much about on here. >installers >uninstallers >onefiles >code signing >CI/CD bullshit To kick things off, any opinions on NSIS vs InnoSetup vs WiX? Especially for integrating with Github Actions. Last time I actually needed to make an installer was pre-9/11 for a VisualBasic thing so I'm a BIT out of the loop, but I used NSIS at the time just because I liked WinAmp. WiX looks like a fucking RABBIT HOLE and overkill for what I need, so for the moment I'm going with InnoSetup unless there's some reason not to?

SoystemD and why you should (not) use it Anonymous 06/15/2025 (Sun) 09:55:36 No. 23385 [Reply]

Hello my gniggas. I've been into Linux for a while, and lots of people talk about SystemD, and especially why they don't like it. I've never been able to look up a cohesive answer as to how you come to this conclusion because I don't know enough about Linux. As I understand it any given unix-like distribution is composed of a bootloader, a kernel, an init system, the utilities, and the package manager. When it comes to SystemD, its approach is monolithic in nature and manages lots of things on its own. For others, all they do is run programs like an init system sounds like it's supposed to do. My question I suppose begins with where does the slack get picked up if not by SystemD? Daemons? Arch users end up trying Artix, but complain that some stuff didn't work, and that they're better off at that time using Arch. If you had this experience please post about why that happened. Assuming a world where everyone is on board with switching to a different init system, what has to change? Are too many programs dependent on SystemD for their services? Why is SystemD a poor choice compared to the competition, is it really so bad? Is SystemD a tool of Red Had embrace extend extinguish fuckery?

(nta) when I tried Artix five years ago, just about everything I tried to install from the AUR had systemd as an implicit dependency, even though as far as I could tell it didn't actually use anything from that. I vaguely remember spending hours doing some asinine contortions to make it play nice with runit, and then the next program I installed had the exact same problem and I gave up.

One I know is SystemD's timers. It doesn't need timers while software like cron exists, an init system could just run cron. What other stuff does SystemD do and how should you go about doing the same stuff while using something like openrc?

Having a config file be edited by both users and the os seems inferior to how systemd is doing it. pacnew files are annoying

Cool idea, OP, but since Mint is a distro for normalfags I'd suggest more programs with nice looking UIs. For instance, I recently started using Mission Center which is pretty much a Window's Task Manager carbon copy https://missioncenter.io/ And it quickly replaced the default system monitor. It just has everything I need at the tips of my fingers.

>Twitch CEO Reveals Two-Thirds of Platform Revenue Comes from Viewer Subs, Not Amazon or Ads https://archive.ph/Y18tO <Despite being owned by one of the biggest companies in the world, Twitch is leaning heavily on its community of viewers not Amazon or big advertisers to keep the platform afloat. <In a recent discussion at an event in Cannes on June 17, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy shared a surprising revelation: two-thirds of Twitch’s total revenue comes directly from viewer subscriptions, not traditional ad deals or corporate partnerships. <"One thing that many people don’t realize is two-thirds of our revenue comes directly from our viewers supporting the creators that they love,” Clancy told Axios. <This stat comes as a surprise to many, especially given Twitch’s massive ad presence and Amazon ownership. Platforms like YouTube and Facebook Gaming focus more on advertiser revenue, while Twitch’s monetization appears to revolve around viewer loyalty and community support. <At TwitchCon, Clancy elaborated on this concept, saying that subscribers aren’t just buying perks they’re buying patronage, status, and emotional connection to the streamers they love. <"Often, when I talk to brands, I say that’s an indication of their emotional connection to the streamers and what they’re watching,” he explained. <This insight reframes how Twitch positions itself in the market: more of a digital community marketplace than a traditional content platform.

>AI: Trump unleashes Silicon Valley to secure 'global dominance' for the US https://archive.ph/45CTf <The tech billionaires who voted for him in 2024 did not back him for nothing. On Wednesday, July 23, United States President Donald Trump presented a vision for the development of artificial intelligence technology that was largely based on the ideas of major Silicon Valley figures, rolling back the tentative regulatory safeguards that his predecessor, Joe Biden, had tried to put in place. <Speaking at the "AI Summit" held at Washington's Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, an event that was then broadcast on the podcast of tech investor David Sacks, who has become an AI adviser to the White House, Trump signed three executive orders intended to secure the US's "global dominance" in AI. None of the CEOs of major tech companies attended the ceremony. <In his speech, Trump called for the groundbreaking field of AI to be rebranded, saying he "can't stand" the word artificial. "We should change the name," he said. "Because it's not artificial, it's genius. It's pure genius." <The AI action plan published by the White House reflected his enthusiasm. "The United States is in a race to achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence (AI) on a global scale. Whoever has the largest AI ecosystem will set global AI standards and reap broad economic and military benefits," the plan's introduction read. >AI data-suckers would have to ask permission first under new bill https://archive.ph/WIzkB <A bipartisan pair of US Senators introduced a bill this week that would protect copyrighted content from being used for AI training without the owner's permission. Content creators from large media companies to individual bloggers could effectively block Google, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others from appropriating their work. <If passed into law, the AI Accountability and Personal Data Protection Act [PDF] from Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) would add a new federal tort allowing individuals to sue companies that use copyrighted works or personally identifiable information to train AI without the owner's express prior consent. >Elon Musk: "We're Bringing Back Vine" https://archive.ph/iKUCY <Elon Musk announced moments ago that the defunct short-form video app Vine, which was first launched by Twitter in 2013, will be revived. This means users will be able to create short-form video, just like the Chinese app TikTok. <"We're bringing back Vine, but in AI form," Musk wrote on X.
