@paco @BenAveling it is just a stupid electronic device

@paco calling it that feels like an apology. Or the closet: “Sorry that “queer” might be off putting to you normies…we’ll just meow.”

@godofbiscuits I’m not really qualified to say what is queer enough to be considered supportive of queer folks. I just do what I think might help. I’m not associated with the project, though I backed it and I enthusiastically hope it succeeds.

@paco What will be its difference with .lgbt?
@bortzmeyer @paco .lgbt is for-profit, and only offer a cool tld (in exchange of money). The .meow is non-profit. Whatever money they get must go to the community (legally binding) + you get a very cool tld

@paco i dont have any real animosity towards it, and i think they'll do good stuff. I'm frustrated when LGBTQ people apologize for existing.

@godofbiscuits Maybe I am more of the target audience.
I’m not gay, I just want to be supportive. I don’t have a use for a .gay domain, because it is too specific. I don’t do anything where “gay” is the theme or the content, and it isn’t part of my identity.
So I can buy a funny domain .meow, do something playful that suits my needs, and I’ll be supporting lgbtq+ causes while I’m at it. I guess that’s probably why I’m enthusiastic.

@paco what little respect i had for the folks behind signal just evaporated.

Marlinspike was kicked out of Signal after he pushed a cryptocurrency nonsense thing (in which he was an investor) into the app.
He's been trying to make money from the latest nonsense fad for a while. I'm only surprised his name wasn't on some Metaverse thing.

To be fair, Moxie hasn't been i that nvolved with signal for a long time

@david_chisnall @paco thanks for the update, i stand corrected

@paco It's also only private for his customers. It does nothing to stop the LLMs from stealing private data. It's just a more private way to invade others' privacy.

@fabio I don't follow. Nobody can fix privacy for stuff they don't own. So whatever we think of this privacy-preserving LLM service, of course it doesn't change the privacy invasions of the other LLMs in the market.
"Confer" would tell you that this is the reason people should use them and not the other big AI players.
My whole point is that the tech is badly broken and using broken tech privately is not a winning proposition.

@paco I think you made my point FOR me.

@paco I think you made my point FOR me.
@godofbiscuits Great. So at least we're on the same wavelength.
I don't want to provoke irritation in (or support a project that irritates) the very people I want to support. Perhaps what you're saying is that this is going to have low appeal to people who themselves are part of the LGBTQ community? I can understand that.
But is it bad? Is there a reason that well-intentioned folks like me should oppose it instead of support it? Is it more offensive than beneficial? I'm genuinely asking.

@paco I'm saying it would only be a "privacy-preserving LLM service" if all LLM models it gives access to were trained without infringing on anyones privacy. Helping people to privately infringe on others privacy is not preserving privacy.

@tiotasram
So the point of SGX is that there's an intel-signed key that's only accessible inside the SGX enclave than can be used to sign messages to a recipient off-device to attest that the code is running inside the enclave; it can be validated against intel's CA. The idea is good in theory, but in practice there have been too many SGX vulnerabilities for me to want to rely on it, hence my comment.

@paco I'm about to get mine too, and thinking about buying two

@paco i'm of the mind that it’s bad. Demurring/deferring to the idea that "gay" = even controversial coming from LGBTQ people themselves is a form of shame.
And shame has killed a lot of us.
