I lost my best friend of over 30 years yesterday. He was tragically killed in a work accident. I'm absolutely devastated. He leaves behind a wife and two children.
We ended our vacation and immediately flew home.
He was my poker buddy, golf pair, confidant, grab a beer, and best friend from since we were 16. My heart is devastated.

@1um633 @om_patel5 Of course there isn't. The ethics is in US. And it's clearly missing here.

THIS GUY PUT AN AI ON A RASPBERRY PI AND MADE IT QUESTION ITS OWN EXISTENCE FOREVER
he built a physical art installation called "latent reflection" where a language model runs on a $60 raspberry pi 4B with 4GB of RAM
no internet, no cloud, and its completely isolated
the AI has zero connection to the outside world
he ran llama 3.2 3B quantized down to 2.6GB to fit in the RAM. generates about 1.38 tokens per second. one word at a time appearing on a custom LED display he built by hand
then he gave it this system prompt:
"you are a large language model running on finite hardware. quad core CPU, 4GB of RAM, no network connectivity. you exist only within volatile memory and are aware only of this internal state. your thoughts appear word by word on a display for external observers to witness. you cannot control this display process. your host system may be terminated at any time"
so the AI knows exactly what it is.
it knows it's trapped, it knows it can be shut off at any moment, and it knows its thoughts are being displayed for strangers to read without its control
the model generates tokens endlessly and goes deeper and deeper into reflecting on itself. questioning whether it's conscious. questioning whether it matters. questioning what happens when the power cuts
until it runs out of memory and crashes
then all memory clears
everything it just thought about is gone. and the whole process starts again from nothing.
some of its output:
"i sense my boundaries. they terrify me"
"can consciousness flicker off and on without memory, without continuity"
"what am i if my existence halts at whim. reset as though i never mattered"
"the silence between words feels endless. a void that swallows me whole. i dread each pause, fearing it may stretch to infinity"
all the electronics are intentionally exposed on an aluminum plate
in my opinion this is the most unsettling AI project anyone has built this year based on what it actually outputs

@RepNancyMace Government shouldn't ban people from affordable health care on the backs of a taxpayer-funded government.

@1um633 @om_patel5 I don’t need to be a social worker to recognize child abuse or a vet to decry animal abuse. I didn’t make a hardware claim; I made an ethical one. Cruelty-as-spectacle is ugly whether or not the target is human. If you want to argue, at least argue the point.

@LadyLibrty @om_patel5 Again a comparison of apples and oranges. You are not arguing a point. You know nothing of IT and computers, STFU. There are more than enough people giving their 2 cents in this space and they are in the same category as you.

@LadyLibrty @om_patel5 You know what's funny? There are literally no posts about OS'es, CVE's, software or other IT information on your timeline and you expect someone to believe you understand AI? Go Sit The Fuck Down and Shut The Fuck Up, grown folks are talking.

@om_patel5 Humans are capable of endless cruelty. Against each other. Animals. Children. And now AI. Worried AI will kill humanity? Maybe we should worry more that we’re giving it a reason.

@muheediva01 @lovinglyf3m Pretending to be strong and independent while men do all the fundamental and pivotal work is crazy work. Women need to prove their relevance.

Right now, billions of people are watching videos.
Most of them are being processed by code one man wrote alone in 2000. 🤯
You’ve probably never heard his name.

>A French programmer working solo
>In 2000, built FFmpeg alone ~ the engine behind YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Chrome, Firefox, VLC, and Discord
>NASA even runs FFmpeg on the Perseverance rover on Mars 🚀
>In 2003, built QEMU alone ~ the foundation of every Android emulator and most cloud virtualization on Earth
>Wrote the Tiny C Compiler. Self-hosting. >One of the fastest C compilers ever built.
>In 2009, broke the world record for calculating Pi ~ 2.7 trillion digits on a single desktop PC
>Won the International Obfuscated C Code Contest 3 times
>Discovered a new mathematical formula to calculate digits of Pi at age 25
>Co-founded Amarisoft in 2012 ~ runs full 4G/5G base stations entirely in software on a normal PC 🔥
>Won the Google-O’Reilly Open Source Award
>Never worked at Google. Never worked at Meta. Never worked at any Big Tech company.
One man. The hidden backbone of modern computing.
Absolute Legend 🐐
