  • So big scary warning, but nothing than “audit your shit” to address it? I’m not an expert, and in fact just got ollama w/deepseek running on my machine last night… but like, isn’t it common courtesy to at least suggest a couple of ways to mitigate things when posting a “big scary warning” like that?

    Especially given deepseek’s more open nature, and the various tidbits I’ve seen indicating that deepseek is open enough to be able to tweak/run entirely locally. So addressing the API issue seems within the realm of possibility…




  • Makes me wonder what other things get lost to time or get overlooked because a larger group controlled “the narrative”.

    Recently watched a documentary about technology being used to scan the Amazon, which revealed an “unknown” city that used to exist in the heart of the Amazon, as well as revealed evidence that pre-European Amazon was very similar to early-settlers’ New England - mostly farmland, rather than vast forest with evidence of large tracts being managed, and purposely shaped for agriculture. Also revealed that one native tribe, which now is just a small village and a couple hundred people, sits on top of a site that was once a major city. Swallowed up by the jungle and time.

    And each of these respective pieces of peoples’ history happened at a time merely a few generations ago, yet we have barely scratched the surface of recovering what was lost.



  • As much as I dislike TikTok and short-form video in general, I really don’t think this falls on TikTok. The idea of middle-schoolers discovering they can choke themselves out has been around as a “thing” since at least the late 90s.

    We knew it as the “Space Monkey”. And yeah, the whole idea was to chokehold yourself until you nearly/did pass out. I suspect it has more to do with the timing of learning things like biology, and the immaturity of middle schoolers finding the idea of blacking out to be funny.

    So uhh… hypothetically if one were to live next to a cornfield and acquire some seeds from said field cough somehow cough, would those purely hypothetical seeds grown in one’s garden then constitute corn piracy?

    Asking for a friend of course.
