MeccanicOS: a complete workstation on a stick, use it live or install it. Built on NixOS: fast, uncluttered, secure, keyboard driven, encrypted, with sane custom tools.
This project is clearly vibe slopped to hell and back but this would be good to analyze for ideas to optimize my NixOS config. Sometimes those clankers can hallucinate useful ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Over on programming.dev, in this comment, you posted a chatbot’s analysis of the flake. You then deleted it, perhaps after reading it and realizing that it was inane and uninsightful. At the same time, you’re over here getting into a fight over the word “clanker”, which you used to refer to the very same chatbots whose output you uncritically posted.
I understand that you have some inner turmoil, and that your behavior is merely an external facet of your emotional processing. However, I think that it’s important to understand that the chatbot never has any ideas; indeed, it cannot ideate or cogitate. As such, your fencesitting is not gaining you any actual insights. To the current example, before you deleted the chatbot-output comments, I noted that the biggest and most insightful takeaway that the chatbot found was the ability to build a NixOS configuration locally, SSH to a remote host, copy the configuration to that host, and switch that host to the new configuration without rebooting; this is a standard part of NixOS which is in the man page, the official wiki, and the unofficial wiki. I get why you deleted the original comment, but I don’t get why you posted it unless you genuinely believed that it was full of “hallucinate[d] useful ideas.”
Why do people always use “clanker” as some weird stand in to make faux-inappropriate comments? Like it’s always “Well, I’d like to do a racism today but want to make sure I can get away with it on technicality.”
The problem is, the copyright advocates already dehumanize the people behind the machines by default, equating them to the machines, so when they use a slur against “machines” they target the people utilizing the machines, not the actual machines.
Using “acceptable slurs” and dehumanizing is the default modus operandi of radlibs.
The original comment said “Sometimes those clankers can hallucinate useful ideas”… do you really think that they meant to say that the people are the ones hallucinating, not the machines?
This comment would make sense if it was in reference to anything resembling a human. It’s dehumanizing language for something that people claim exhibits creativity and makes art. Fuck clankers. They’re not people. Literally. Data centers are cooking the planet and you’re mincing words about how we refer to what will eventually kill us. It’s not racism. AI isn’t people and LLMs aren’t a race. Go all the way away with this.
While I dislike LLMs as much as the next guy, I actually find the use of the term “clankers” to be the opposite of dehumanizing. Admittedly, I think I may be on the more empathetic side, but when I see/hear it used it feels like you are trying to be discriminatory to a race or group of people. I have never considered LLMs or AI to be sentient but that recognition of a pattern triggers an empathy within me that is missing without its use.

Comparing people experiencing racism with computers does not sound like the appropriate opinion you think it is.
The problem is, the copyright advocates already dehumanize the people behind the machines by default, equating them to the machines, so when they use a slur against “machines” they target the people utilizing the machines, not the actual machines.

As far as I understand, “Clanker” targets the AI, not the person writing the prompt. You can’t dehumanize an AI
Damn man, like if it bothers you THAT much, either log off or stop using AI.
Calling a robot names is racism?
Lol. Lmao even.
Last week I heard someone call local LLMs “house clankers” so gonna say there is at least a connection.
In that specific case it would the be exchanging of clanker with the n word that would be racist, not the clanker in itself part.
But yeah thats wack af
The race being… AI?

ai is not going to kill, the bourgeoisie is.
“guns don’t kill people” vibes
people don’t kill, guns do it vibes
Why do people performatively reply to comments to self-righteously nitpick about the terminology someone used?
Not quite the jab you think it is. This is the comment I posted earlier but decided to soften to protect your white fragility for the public… 🤣
Edit: The fragile white hypocrite @Mordikan@kbin.earth has started downvoting all of my comments! 🤣🤣🤣
I mean it shows you’re unhinged. You’re exhibiting stalker behavior, you understand that?
