I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public goods, we need to look beyond moral high grounds and engage with the material basis of AI—specifically compute, data, and the relations of production.
I've written two posts exploring this through the lens of historical materialism. The first piece analyzes why current “open source” definitions struggle with LLMs, and the second discusses what it means to “act materialistically” in our imperfect world. My goal is to suggest a path forward that moves from mere boycotting to a more proactive, structural socialization of AI infrastructure.
If you've been feeling uneasy about the AI landscape but aren't sure if boycotting is the final answer, I'd love for you to give these a read:
- Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them
- Acting materialistically in an imperfect world: LLMs as means of production and social relations

I’m looking for a new client to access mastodon / fedi. Something I can run on one of my RPis, and access from web-browsers on various devices, all with a synched reading position. Zero desire for multi-column layouts. Minimal desire for python, because dependency management.
Elk looked good, but requires Docker: https://github.com/elk-zone/elk
Brutaldon looks good, but python and Django… oof. https://gitlab.com/brutaldon/brutaldon/-/blob/main/INSTALL.md?ref_type=heads
Pinafore is unmaintained: https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore
Any other suggestions?

@cretinodicrescenzago peraltro se lo usi per te stesso è un'osservazione completamente prima di senso. Se io voglio farmi chiamare IlCoglione, anche senza categorie pscichitriche, mica mi sto facendo un complimento.

No Alpitour?
In tutta franchezza sono più preoccupato della paurosa impennata che avrà il prezzo dei prodotti petroliferi ed energetici con conseguenze inevitabili sull'inflazione e sull'economia mondiale di quei quattro minchioni bloccati perché erano in vacanza a Dubai o in crociera sul Golfo Persico.
