          PH4NTXM Update: AI (Ollama) 🧠

          This module brings local LLM execution into PH4NTXM — fully offline, fully ephemeral.

          Just type ph4ntxm-ai or click the AI icon, and PH4NTXM will do the rest for you automatically.

          We don’t “connect to AI”.

          We run it inside the system.

          Ollama is deployed as a controlled runtime component, not a user tool.

          Models are pulled, executed, and discarded within the live session.

          No accounts.
          No API calls.
          No external dependency surface.

          Everything stays inside the environment.

          Core behavior:

          Model execution is tied to the session lifecycle.

          Start system → load model → interact → shutdown → everything gone.

          Environment alignment:

          The AI does not exist outside PH4NTXM.

          It inherits the system context:

          Network mode (clearnet / Tor / isolated)
          Active system mode (Linux / Windows / Android / Lonewolf)
          Runtime constraints and sandbox boundaries

          Execution model:

          Inference runs locally, constrained by the same isolation principles as the rest of the system.

          No uncontrolled access.
          No background communication.
          No hidden channels.

          Just local compute.

                    Warning: the current pre-launch campaign images show signs of having been "improved" via a gen-AI slopbucket, with tell-tale gibberish text. I'm pretty sure the campaign text is also ensloppened. The project appears real, though, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt here.

                                                    "But while authorities generally pitch facial recognition as a tool to capture terrorists or wanted murderers, the technology has also emerged as a critical instrument in a very particular context: punishing protesters.
                                                    (...)
                                                    In countries where demonstrating can come with physical or political risk, large-scale protests have historically offered a degree of anonymity, and, with it, a level of protection. Mass protests are a way for citizens to express dissent as a collective — often under the assumption that “they can’t arrest us all.”

                                                    But in the last decade, the spread of facial recognition technology has changed that equation: A lone face in a crowd is no longer anonymous; facial recognition allows to capture people’s identities en masse."

                                                        From the perspective of managing a company, keeping high morale and making people to feel good when working, replacing a human with AI-generated version would have very negative impact.

                                                        CEOs of companies should be integral part of workplace and stay closer to employees instead of trying to seize any opportunity to distance themselves from them.

                                                        Healthy, good workplace is about good working conditions, human connection and positive relations between employees and management.

I was out for a short walk with a sighted guide but decided to test it out. I told Oorion to keep telling me if the path ahead of me was clear, and it did. It warned of lampposts, other pedestrians and a car parked on the pavement. It wasn’t perfect, and it doesn’t do any navigation for you, but if you know your route and want to avoid any obstacles, this is a wonderful advance for blind folk. It’s a bit of a battery killer and the app does block any other app from using the phone, but it’s the closest thing to live video feedback we’ve seen so far.

                                                              There are many reasons why I'm against age verification and social media bans for teens.

                                                              Youth is part of society and their voices should be heard. When we take a look on how they use social media, we can see they use them for expressing themselves, mobilizing for important causes such as climate action and fair wages.

                                                              Imposing restrictions on young people is not the way to protect them. In fact, it's taking their right to freedom of expression and speech. It also harms society as young people very often have smart and accurate ideas on how to make society better.

                                                              Another reason is that to verify age, you need to collect ID. This exposes people to risks such as exploitation, identity theft, fraud, scams, etc. Breaches are happening, we saw many severe breaches in the past. Making the use of ID documents mandatory for age verification would make life easier for cybercriminals.

                                                              There are more reasons.

                                                              Yes, we need to act to protect children and fight against child abuse. There is no doubt about it. But what we need to do it in a reasonable, safe and transparent way that is not cutting young people from social media, or exposes people to risks to their privacy.

                                                                                                                It was pretty sudden; over the course of twelve hours I went from feeling a little under-the-weather to sitting in a retail chain’s clinic with both eardrums having at least a small rupture and serous (like from a blister) drainage from each of them (1), occasional dizziness, and a prescription for antibiotics.

                                                                                                                I spent the next 36 hours pretty much in bed, and I’m still recovering as I write this. While I don’t feel as unwell as I did a few days ago, I’m still very aware that my hearing has taken a (hopefully temporary) hit.

                                                                                                                This isn’t the first time I’ve had an eardrum blow from an infection; the prior time was just before the pandemic, but I’m still a little freaked out about the (again, hopefully temporary) loss of hearing in both ears. My hearing isn’t the best to begin with, and once you add in sensory processing issues, it was already a bit of a problem at times.

                                                                                                                It’s not the watery “muffled” effect so often used to illustrate hearing loss; it’s mostly just like someone turned the volume knob down. But how bad is it, really? (If, fingers crossed, temporarily.)

                                                                                                                I have a good set of over-ear headphones, so I slapped those on and headed to this open-source online hearing test with its handy-dandy online demo. (An offline tool that provides similar functionality for linux is here: https://gitlab.com/kreezxil/Linux-hearing-screen-toolkit .)

                                                                                                                See also  Cavasik - A Sweet Little Music Visualizer For Linux

                                                                                                                A short while later, I had this terrifying chart and a downloadable CSV file showing how badly the upper bounds of my hearing are degraded. I couldn’t hear the 8000 Hz tone at all, even though I could hear the audio channels click on to produce it! Luckily, most of the damage is above where speech typically happens, but that’s still… not great. Especially with a job hunt underway, I kind of need my ears at the moment.

                                                                                                                Luckily for me, a lot of that can be funneled through technology — VOIP, video chats, and so on. Which means I have a chance to mess with the audio beforehand.

                                                                                                                I used EasyEffects so that it was across my whole system and not just a single application. Using just the equalizer, I got it about right, then verified that I was on the right path (and accepted some suggested tweaks from) an LLM. I ended up with this equalizer setting; the main differences the LLM suggested were starting by turning everything down so I had more room to amplify without clipping and turning the very high frequencies back down to avoid too much hiss.

                                                                                                                It also suggested adding some tweaks with multiband compression that I quite honestly don’t understand (“applying compression only to the upper bands to mimic hearing aid compression curves”?) but provide a small, but audible difference in quality for me.

                                                                                                                See also  Cool Your Linux Laptop And Extend Its Battery Life Using Auto-CPUfreq

I understand there’s even a way to build this directly into PipeWire without the nice user interface which will reduce latency, but since this will (hopefully!) not be quite so bad in a week or two, I’m not going to make any permanent changes yet.

                                                                                                                But with hearing loss being a major risk factor for developing dementia, once my hearing has stabilized and I either have a new position with medical coverage (or Medicaid re-approves me), I’ll be able to take this data to a real professional and see how else I can cyborg my hearing back into better functionality.

Yes there's challenges; I think that going over to natural and renewable feedstocks in a sensible way would mean abandoning a lot of the industrial expectations that have been built up over the centuries since "The Industrial Revolution". People would have to expect a bit more variability in physical properties, a bit less reliability in supply-chained that (in my opinion) would be compensated by having a greater range of options and sources. And I totally agree: this is what technological development should be all about, not…LLMs.

Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
