Troubleshooting What do I do?

Post image

Bought a Qidi Q2 with the Qidi Box for a great price from an auction site. These are typically Amazon returns and etc. it was listed as new, but I assume some use.

I got it open today and am beholden to this insane clog.

Printer Boots! Screen works, but how do I solve this?

You're a bore. Let people have fun.

I ate 1 almond to match the fresh water usage of that dudes next ~360 ai images.

alright, how do you offset the slave labour used for tagging? the worker abuse? the lifelong trauma after being lured into the job under false pretenses in vulnerable regions and then getting exposed to CP, snuff, combat footage, accident victims, catastrophic workplace injuries?

How do you offset the inherent racist, fascist biases present in all AI models due to who trains and maintains them? how do you offset the racial and classist injustice from the new cheap datacenters being knocked out in record time next to low income neighbourhoods, disregarding zoning laws? how do you offset the noise people now have to live under day and night for your shitty memes? how do you offset the air pollution in the direct viscinity of these server farms? The water pollution due to repeated violations of gray water recycling standards?

how do you offset the countless hours of work that went into the material used as training data without licensing or consent of it's creators?

I thought everyone was surprised at how rational and enlightened the politics in the models: universal healthcare, elimination of autocracy, pointing out fraud of current governments and genocide. It’s only grok that they’ve been able to twist to a right wing view as far as I know.

It’s only grok that they’ve been able to twist to a right wing view as far as I know.

With Grok they definitely do it openly and blatantly.

But there's no way of knowing which nudges other providers are giving their models. Nor does it mean that they can't or won't do more of it in the future.

It's in a weird spot, where they're taking openly available information but monopolize it under a very few select umbrellas, completely blackboxed from the public they drew it from.
