Just a thought, perhaps instead of considering the mental and educational state of the people without power to significantly affect this state, we should focus on the people who have power.

For example, why don’t LLM providers explicitly and loudly state, or require acknowledgement, that their products are just imitating human thought and make significant mistakes regularly, and therefore should be used with plenty of caution?

It’s a rhetorical question, we know why, and I think we should focus on that, not on its effects. It’s also much cheaper and easier to do than refill years of quality education in individuals heads.

When the dirty commies do the reforms we all know we need in our countries…

We’re so fucked. ⚰️

It doesn’t matter whether this is used against dissidents or not. Their speech is censured either way. It shouldn’t affect the much larger positive effect this will have on the majority of people.

No idea, haven’t used those. The HA Voice is open source through and through.

For anyone with existing Home Assistant setup, the Home Assistant Voice Preview is pretty good alternative, when it comes to voice control of HA. The setup is very easy. If you want conversational functionality, you could even hook it up to an LLM, cloud or local. It can also be used for media playback and it’s got an aux out port.

I used to use Google Home Mini for voice control of Home Assistant. The Voice Preview replaced that rather nicely.

You can also buy some on Facebook Marketplace.

🔴 I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.

Thanks 👍

I think that change was done way back when. Do you have a reference for the algorithm change? I tried a quick search and came out empty.

We’re perfectly optimistic about most technology. We can see how we can benefit from it, once most of the value it produces no longer ends in the owner class’es pocket.
