Quite right you are. So I did.

Don’t forget the Falklands.
100% is a percentage I’d okay with.
I think the point you’re missing is that without the monetary incentive that arises under capitalism, there would be very little drive for anyone to build these wasteful AI systems. It’s difficult to imagine a group of people voluntarily amassing and then using the resources necessary for “AI” absent the desire to cash in on their investment. So you’re correct that an alternative economic system won’t “magically” make LLMs go away. I think it unlikely, however, that such wasteful nonsense would be used on any meaningful scale absent the perverse incentives of capitalism.
Friendly reminder to everyone: What is pictured in this image is not a molotov, but a self-immolation device that is likely to explode in the hand.
A molotov, on the other hand, consists of a sealed bottle of fuel with a flaming cloth wrapped around it, which prevents ignition of its contents prior to impact.
I don’t think he knows about second hand, Pippin.
Hard to feel sorry for them, tbh. If you can’t tell something’s up when they slice the pizza into 19 slices, you’re kinda cooked.
The metadata is really important especially if you or anyone you talk to ends up being targeted. 95% of intelligence work is mapping out adversaries’ communications networks…if you have that, you don’t need to decrypt the contents because you already know who is talking to who. The federation of metadata alone is reason to avoid matrix for anything important.
I keep meaning to check those out. 10/10 recommend the Sapling Cage though. Her ‘How to Survive the Dino Wars’ series has been helping to keep me sane the last few months.
She sure is! Have you read the Sapling Cage? I just finished it a week ago. Incredible.
There are dozens of us!
I think email gets a bad rap for difficulty of hosting. So long as you get your DMARC, DKIM, RDNS, SPF, etc right, it’s reasonably forgiving. Need to take server down for maintenance? No worries- any mail that couldn’t be delivered will be resent in a few minutes/hours/days.
Harder than hosting a simple website? Yes. Rocket surgery? No.
I think the premise is flawed. Most of us have been brought up in a world that preaches “if you’re not growing, you’re dying.” That mindset is harmful in a whole host of ways. I have no idea if lemmy is growing or not, but it’s quite possible, perhaps even preferable, for a service/site/mom-and-pop shop to be sustainable without unending growth.
Newpipe still works on Android.
I misread the headline and thought it was saying the guy was some sort of militant centrist. 🤣
It does fine. It’s an i5-6500 running CPU transcoding only. Handles 2-3 concurrent 1080p streams just fine. Sometimes there’s a little buffering if there’s transcoding going on. I try to keep my files at 1080p for storage reasons though. This thing’s not going to handle 4k transcoding very well, but it does okay if you don’t expect too much from it.
7 websites, Jellyfin for 6 people, Nextcloud, CRM for work, email server for 3 domains, NAS, and probably some stuff I’ve forgotten on a $4 computer from a tiny thrift store in BFE Kansas. I’d love to upgrade, but I’m always just filled with joy whenever I think of that little guy just chugging along.
If you haven’t seen it yet, I can’t recommend Midnight Mass highly enough! Probably my favorite horror/spooky thing ever. Best to go in blind, I think. It’s not a mystery per se, but figuring out what’s going on is part of the fun for sure.
Honestly, I think this will be a bigger boon to folks like Elevated Access than to the billionaires of the world. Makes it a little harder for some chud who doesn’t like what they’re doing to show up at a pilot’s home with a rifle.
