FOSS will give Tesla a run for its money. It works with many newish (2018 onwards) cars. The hardware costs $1k versus $10k+ for Tesla autopilot.

At the moment you're best bet might be to go for an electric bicycle, you can get relatively open technology, for motors, controller circuits and battery packs.

I thought this was interesting but didn't know what thread to put it in. There's not hardware general thread and it's not something that deserves it's own thread.

I believe both sides can be quite extreme so here's my balanced take:
>supplementary use of AI (chatbots, TTS, NPCs, enemy AI, RPGs, level generation, self-driving cars, AI assistants and code generation) are pretty based actually as long as they produce correct outputs and don't get you into any legal trouble
>non-commercial use of AI is also fine and can create something unique and interesting (memes, AI covers, AI dubbing)
>AI art is mostly slop except for some rare exceptions so people should at least be able to easily filter it and it should be marked appropriately
>commercial use of AI other than what was already mentioned is NOT cool and leads to more layoffs, more enshittification, more plagiarism and more mass surveillance
>proprietary AI software is ALSO not cool since it can be spyware that sends your data to the NSA

>they no longer have an edge over AI
That's just not true. The recent DLSS 5 disaster proves this. This technology is simply not the same as AGI: it does not understand anatomy and lighting, it cannot create something original, it constantly forgets small details, it uses literally random pictures from the Internet as a training data (including AI-generated ones) which leads to output quality degradation and it often gives inconsistent results because it's just a random image generator that doesn't understand what an art style is.
>Most people should just accept that humans aren't as special as we think.
I'm not saying that humans will always be special but for now AI is like a monkey stroking a brush againt the canvas. It's not intelligent enough to have the same creativity and vision as humans do. Believe me, I want AGI to be real too, it feels lonely for the human species to be at the top of evolutionary development. But until AGI is made I do not think AI will make as good of an art as meatbags do. Yeah, some stuff created with the use of AI like Neuro-sama, Fortnite's Darth Vader, Sora 2 memes or Angel Engine are entertaining but image generation specifically just does not cut it.

It's funny how the alt-right is associated with AI slop because the Nazi aesthetic is made entirely out of plagiarized symbols
>the swastika is taken from Buddhism
>the SS symbols are taken from paganism
>the Aryan race is taken from Indians and Iranians
>the ideology's name is taken from socialism
>the Roman salute is taken from Romans
>the architecture and art are taken from Romans as well
Like, there's literally nothing original that the Nazis did. In fact, they burnt entire libraries of """Jewish""" literature. I think that's very ironic in hindsight.

Also, has anyone noticed how diffusion models fuck up the Brazilian flag? I'm so sorry, Brazilian bros.

Oh, I forgot to mention two other major drawbacks: increased hardware prizes and environmental impact. The corpos, due to the AI craze, started buying GPUs and RAM en masse while gamers and Earth-chan got fucked in the ass. But instead of the corpos reducing their use of AI they're trying to push it on people as a solution to a problem they created. And that solution makes games look like shit.

Man. Remember when high-budget games looked actually photorealistic and didn't require a data center to run? Me neither.

This might sound absurd but AI will only be relevant once people give a shit about its opinions on the work people create. In other words AI has to become a consumer and humans the producer.

Oh absolutely. The explorer.exe windows manager was a huge deal for open source coding. Even if the leaks are XP years old they are still massively influential for that reason alone. Windows has, more or less, been a black box since, well, forever. It's a big deal, imo.

What's the best LLM chatbot?

I was messing around with free chatbots, got bored of their copypasted and formulaic responses and then I find out that there are premium versions of them? And then I find out there are FLOSS Chinese LLMs? And apparently Deepseek V4 got released which is way more precise while being way less resource-hungry? I'm so confused.

My questions are:
>What is the best LLM chatbot?
>What is the best FLOSS LLM chatbot?
>How do both of them compare?

In my experience, Claude seems to be the best and GPT is hot garbage but I've only tried their free versions so I don't know how their paid versions stack up.

Depends on the use case. I use them for hours a day.

Claude for not making shit up as much. Claude for code. Claude has major issues with catastrophizing, assuming worst case scenarios, and stopping converstaions arbitrarily for 'safety'. It isn't as glazing and agreeable as Gemini though.

Gemini for problem solving. But it also glazes and agrees too much over time.

Hello people. I'm looking for an instant messenger which satisfies most of those needs:

Anonymous, private & secure [decentralised, encrypted & safe] (Hard necessary)

Audio & video calls [configure volume, deafen, mute, select camera/screen/window & support for group chats] (If there is an app which satisfies most other needs but does not have audio/video, I might do fine just using Jitsi instead, so it's mid-necessary.)

Clean, fast, professional, responsive & smooth design (Can also go with terminal)

Cross-platform [android, linux & windows] (Hard necessary)

File transfer [no limits] (Hard necessary)

Free & open source (Hard necessary)

Group chats [customisation & moderation] (Hard necessary)

I'm back. Trying SimpleX made clear that the battery drain I was seeing was an Android issue, not a Signal issue.

At some point my dumbass disabled microG cloud messaging registration, so apps weren't using it. That's the fix for that and, as such, I'm staying on Signal.

I guess I still recommend SimpleX as well. I did like it.

I severely lack meaning in my life and I have the urge to to participate in schizo computing. What I mean by that is, I have the urge to lock myself in my room at night, hunch over my keyboard and:

use Tails OS, Tor, Whonix, Qubes, OpenBSD, virtual machines, Linux, alternative internet forums, use flip phones, use physical media instead of digital content where possible, air gap computers, use internet archives, improve my general knowledge on mass surveillance and other cucked things.

I'm not even that good at computers but I just feel the need to schizomaxx and become redpilled on susciety. Any things you recommend I should learn or delve into, given the things I'm interested in?

The most important skill is organizing information - all of the websites, articles, services, threads, etc.
Work with text files.

You can already use Tor Browser without a special OS if you keep it on "Safest".
I would not recommend I2P at this point.

What the title says. Apart from leftychan and Marxist Internet Archive, do you know any? I heard from a maoist comrades that there are (news?) websites that they could only access through Tor because they were censored in multiple countries. Do you know any? Thanks in advance
