  • True on the measurability but to me its a concept that explains a lot of social behaviour. The following is my current understanding of it. It of cause has a lot of root causes playing together, like internalized / toxic shame, fears, self doubt, socialization etc.

    Depending on the framework, it can be Interpreten differently i think: Overcompensation (big ego) or surrender (small ego) are modes we slip into and both are part of a fragile ego which means low selfesteem. And also low confidense.

    Being and accepting myself is high selfesteem and means a stable ego and high/realsitic confidense. Or also realistic self image.

    I thing understanding and recognising those behaviours in oneself is helfpul to reach a stable ego but they are a very generalized view and can habe many causes. So it only helps a bit to recognize ones own patterns but its not possible to improve the selfesteem etc by working on selfesteem, as its just a symptom.

    I think to improve selfesteem we have to gain proficiency and confidense in multiple fields by repetition and training which will spread to other areas. We habe to overcome our shame and fear by facing them and being open about it. And learn that people are different and that is beautiful becsuse everyone will find their tribe.








  • So my setup rigjt now:

    • vps with headscale
    • all devices connect to it
    • in my home lab a vm running a tailscale client and a reverse proxy with a Wildcard cert
    • all other services run as their own VMS and the proxy routes to them
    • i have a dmz (not yet public) running a proxy with tailscale again for a different domain
    • dmz runs a authentik vm which i use for access controll and user management
    • backup Server connects to tailscale as well and proxmox pushes zfs snapshots every day

    My long term goal is to move to pangolin as a reverse proxy on the vps and tailscale alternative and remove tailscale, as i find its very battery inefficient on Android (no subnet Router etc).

    So i just give people access to the VPN and send them an authentik invite and thats it. With pangolin i dont even have to give them a VPN access anymore, it can be done via authentik i think.

    A vps is 3-6€ and the tailscale standard is 10€ so its even cheaper, but a bit more setup to maintain. But it allows a ton of users :) so i guess this would be the smallest change with the highest impact

    Authentik is nice to have but a pain to set up as the oicd stuff can be tricky. Immich was super ez, nextcloud was OK, docspell was a pain and ocis does not work with authentik becsuse they use different architectures for sso. (Ocis and authentik are a bit dumb here)



  • I don’t know how exactly they are trained to behave, I would assume the goal of the creators is to have an AI that is easy to work with so more people use it. That makes them agreeing and write like humans maybe? And for sure they are build to seem smarter and more capable than they are, this is an issue we have to overcome. I suppose its difficult to train an AI to say “I don’t know” because its just a mushy mess of matrices and vectors and data is not “stored” in their system but generated to represent something that seems cmas close as spossible to the truth?



  • Tbh i don’t quite get it.

    I expect to be downvoted like hell here for saying this, but I think discourse is important. Also, its not meant as an attack on op, I want to get my viewpoint out here for others to respond and spark a discission I hope

    You went to chat with one of the lowest their models they offer. It detected an typo and reported it by saying “I made a typo”. You then tried to get it to admit it does not have fingers which it does by saying “what ever the equivalent of a typo is”. So first we don’t habe the language to say an AI generated an false word or token (other than this, which is pretty clunky), second what did you expect from an randomized predicting machine that drew its statistical data from language?

    And why do you use it in the first place if you think its dumb?

    Maybe this community is just meant as a place to rent and let out emotions or preach to the choir, then I am sorry to slide in here. But if we want to change how AI is used and works we have to find real issus and datapoints that we can use to discuss AI usage. There are enough talking points other than the language it uses, like education, energy, environment, noise, capitalism, human nature and a ton more

    I just miss good discussions about political things like this. I would love if we could have a culture on Lemmy again where we upvote good discussions if we agree or disagree. Trolls and dumb arguments or insults can be downvoted. But we will not develop as a society if we just downvote what we don’t like to hear, its not black and white I think. Idk


  • I like the concept of mistral and its good for most things. Coding on the other hand is difficult. Mistral medium 3.5 often fails to use its own tools to edit files, gets things wrong and ist rather slow. I just had the opportunity to test codex and I have to say its a lot stronger obviously. I hope mistral soon releases a new large model with better instructions flooding and coding skills and improved tool usage!




  • I feel like there is a lot lore right wing propaganda or from Russia and China to destabilize the west. The reason I feel like is that the crazy rich people did not have moral or a back bone in the first place which is the reason why they accumulated the power and wealth in the first place to influence others. Like i said, watch the video of benn Jordan about that.

    Also, you might feel or be resistant to propaganda, but I bet your and my parents or great parents are not and they still make the minority of voters


  • Number 1 argument for me is, your data can be used to manipulate you, postly politically. You might not be a big target because you use Lemmy and linux and a vpn or whatever but other people that are not interested in tech are

    Even if its not political manipulation, maybe its optimizing ads so you buy more. Which then can be used to manipulate you politically as you lack the funds to stand up for your morals. And even if you personally do, because you might have a privileged background, others might not and for them its absolutely worth fighting for.

    Benn Jordan has a great video about it


  • At this point I would rather use a Mac than windows I suppose. They are actually rather secure and are Unix which is nice.

    But in general, if you don’t care about moral, being caught in an actively hostile eco system, have enough money, and being the little removed of bog tech, Apple is quite nice?

    I mean tbh what is a valid Alternative? Android, same big tech dependency, just different company. Samsung wannabe apple but in shit and more evil. Windows, same big tech, just incompetent company and evil on top.

    So apple seems at least to be quite okish if you don’t have the skill to degoogle your phone and use Linux?

    In my bubble, apple has very little bad press about security, had few bugs until maybe 2 years ago, then it got worse I think? And the device connectivity is pretty solid. If you have enough money, their devices are pretty high quality, from a manufacturing standpoint. And they slowly allow repairs on their devices again
