I’ve built a small suite of honey-do automations for public defense attorneys in Washington (selenium scripts and OS calls to do docket intake / organization)

Currently packaging as a windows desktop app, recording a demo video, and then distributing

Very cool. I jumped in here thinking it was gonna be something else though: a packaged service for distributing on-prem model running across multiple GPUs.

I'm basically imagining a vast.ai type deployment of an on-prem GPT; assuming that most infra is consumer GPUs on consumer devices, the idea of running the "company cluster" as combined compute of the company's machines

I think the key is FDE-CHALLENGE-01
singlepaynews · 4 months ago
Yes; post was updated after my comment

In my experience chatGPT solves the challenge handily, but it does get to the level of problem that GPT requires my code review for, so either I'm not as good at using chat as I could be or they've found the point at which someone has to prove they can actually do code review to filter; nice.

I guess that was my point, YOU are free to export your data and post it on the internet, but don't make everyone (me) do the same.
singlepaynews · 4 months ago
I don't see how I (or LinkedIn) is making you do anything? LinkedIn is a place I can post data. I choose to do so in an attempt to market my resume. I fully expect that the data I post on LinkedIn's server becomes and is the property of LinkedIn, and wish it was more effective at extracting value from it?

Because LinkedIn is less effective than I'd like, I support 3rd parties scraping the data I posted there, again on the hope that they'd be more successful at marketing that data, which I would benefit from as the data is my resume.

> OK, so what is to be done when access to labor is gatekept?

The unemployment rate in the US is 4.3%.

Before you say anything, the U-6 rate is 8.1%.

singlepaynews · 4 months ago
Okay, so 30 million people, or more conservatively 16 million people. Same question, and before you say anything, don't be condescending.

ETA: Maybe most conservatively, let's use only the % uniquely included in U-6 and excluded in standard, or 14.4 million people. I'll claim these 14m people are the "gatekept from full employment" in that they don't qualify as narrowly unemployed unless you include "all people marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons"(1)

Same question. 14m people who are being excluded from labor, are they not free to attempt to generate income via means other than labor, lest they suffer the judgement of Abraham?

In other words, is Abraham hiring? If not, are the people he refuses to employ meant to accept serfdom to preserve their soul?

In the Abrahamic tradition, seeking benefit by avoiding labor is sinful. I don’t think it needs to be widespread to serve as an example. One data point that widespread gambling was eroding norms was that professional gamblers could not give testimony.

OK, so what is to be done when access to labor is gatekept? If you can't have a job, or can't benefit from a job beyond "give a man a fish, he eats for a day", are you not meant to look for an opportunity to generate income outside of working?

I think most users don't want their data to be used by anyone and everyone. I sure don't. If one user needs access to their own data, they can always export it and take it where they please.

For most people the dangers of openness (see Cambridge Analytica), the lack of upside and the lack of security in small players mean that walled gardens are the best solution for the majority of people.

This lawsuit is exactly why people trust walled gardens to keep their data walled off. Because I trusted LinkedIn, not ProAPI and whatever malicious actors they sell to.

I sure do! If LinkedIn can't market my resume to open roles then letting recruiters roll their own scrapers against it is the next best thing. I understand that LI owns my data, I just wish they were effective in using it!

(edit: "my" data, as in the data I post there.)
