Ok this is fixed now, for future posts from Mbin. Thanks for the mention.

@yoasif@fedia.io

I see the issue. Just a small fix, really. Will release 1.3.8 shortly.

@wjs018@piefed.social is this that thing mbin did with the images and links?

When an article relies on a clearly bs premise (like a security researcher using a free vpn), you should assume the article is fake. Which it is, in this case: https://piefed.social/post/1573197#comment_9269001

Maybe it’s a coded way of saying “the cognitive traits of sociopaths are what will make you do exceptionally well at Palentir, apply now”.

As if that wasn’t already obvious.

Or just an elaborate cover for a guy who overdid the pre-interview coke dosage.

Nice one 👍

You might want to make the container name a command line parameter or env var, incase that changes in future.

I took the question to be “could you currently host fedi servers on the dark web, without any big changes to their code” but yeah I’m sure it’s possible to make it happen, if people wanted to put in the work.

Not feasible.

Just use an instance that is outside USA and not using a USA hosting company? Half the fediverse uses Hetzner, for example. OVH (French) is another popular provider.

For SSL to work your computer time must be roughly the same as all the internet’s time. Not exactly but within a few minutes.

Llama 4 Maverick did not blackmail

I don’t feel like they explored this well enough, probably because it did not fit the narrative they’re trying to build.

I am suspicious of Anthropic’s motives in publishing this. Maybe in a couple of weeks/months they’ll “solve” this problem they created, making themselves looking smart and relevant.

Or maybe Llama 4 is too stupid to be evil or useful. I don’t know enough about the models to judge.

I have just added code which makes the instance vote weight visible in the UI - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/04b54e25f44f54420c247152323c90c4a3360a02

You can go to https://piefed.social/instances and check the vote weight of any instance. It’ll be very boring tho because they’re all set to “Votes are weighted at the normal level.” Yes, even lemmy.ml.

Not really anything serious.

By poking around https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list I found two (and only two) with open sign ups that do not say “demo and testing instance”:

It’s kinda amazing to me how they convinced so many people to give them money when that is all they have. I guess people want to have hope.

The story was invented so people would subscribe to his substack, which exists to promote his company.

We’re being manipulated into sharing made-up rage-bait in order to put money in his pocket.

The answer to that is literally in the first sentence of the body of the article I linked to.

GPTZero is 99% accurate.

https://gptzero.me/ is free, give it a try. Generate some slop in ChatGPT and copy and paste it in.

I’ve tested lots and lots of different ones. GPTZero is really good.

If you read the article again, with a critical perspective, I think it will be obvious.

FYI this article is written with a LLM.

Don’t believe a story just because it confirms your view!
