From the original 404 article:
And yet, this is of course an extreme example of the broader political project of AI chatbots and LLMs: They are top-down systems controlled by the richest people and richest companies on Earth, and their outputs can be changed to push the preferred narratives aligned with the interests of those people and companies. This is the same underlying AI that powers Grokipedia, which is the antithesis of Wikipedia and yet is being pitched by its creator as being somehow less biased than the collective, well-meaning efforts of human volunteers across the world.
You may already know this, but a lot of everyday people don’t. They still think that a computer can’t have bias, and if all these tech bros and business leaders are talking about AI then maybe it does make sense to replace our society with an impartial machine. This article is for them.




I use a PiKVM to manage my server at boot.
It streams video from the HDMI port so I can see what’s happening before boot, and plugs into a USB socket to emulate a remote keyboard.
Saved me the other week when I installed a new network card and the server lost its network connection. Since I could still reach the KVM, I logged in remotely and solved the issue.
Although some KVM devices can take power from the USB connection to the host, you should make sure your KVM has an independent power supply. Otherwise, when you shut down your server, the KVM will lose power and then you can’t remotely turn it back on again.
