After spinning up some LLMs and image generating tools, I realized the hardware consumes a lot of electricity, and even 12GB VRAM sometimes wasn’t enough. On top of that, these AI programs also use a lot of system RAM. Now imagine being a big company like OpenAI or Grok with millions of users. How much GPU power and electricity would it take to keep their service running? That’s why these companies are seeking lots of investment.

Not a bubble because: it actually uses the amount of energy they claim? No one thinks they’re lying about that.

these AI investors know what they’re doing

LOOOOLOLOL. I think there are some initial investors who, in the beginning, legitimately thought it would be a good deal. At this point, the investments are driven by hype, and investors know they are, but they’re gambling that they can ride it to the top without being caught holding the bag. That’s why it will collapse violently. Because the moment it starts going down, everyone is going to dump it.

Of course, AI-generated content is polluting the internet like never before. But the problem is that you still like or share these AI slop, making them go viral.

Okay so we’re now: changing the topic entirely, while blaming users for the poisoning of the information database that is the internet.

So it’s a 2 paragraph blog post that doesn’t even address it’s own title.

Too bad he’s an engineer and not a lawyer.

Linux?

Yes that is why I said “generally”.

Honestly maybe that’s a good thing? AI seems to generally be more in touch with reality than anyone in the federal gov.

Copyous

Some people view the Fediverse as any federated protocol.

Much like ActivityPub, it’s just a protocol, and it is whatever you make it.

You can but it is very clunky. Bonfire looks like they may have or will fix this in the future.

The Fediverse has plenty of problems but…this ain’t it.

A bigger problem would be the inevitable outcome of what happened with Instagram; people just post pictures of text to get more reach (and probably also to circumvent Mastodon’s stupid character limits).

It’s a stupid and arbitrary limitation, but I digress.

And how do you communicate with the Pi0?

Element X is just a Matrix client.

It’s a nice article and it’s good to see you adopted automatic Docker installation but…you wrote an article about self-hosting, and then published it on…Medium…?

100%. Not to mention being slow as hell.

We all use Signal already for messaging but it just doesn’t fulfill our screenshare needs.

…why not?

Most important feature it needs is the ability to screenshare with system audio, such as for streaming games or watching videos.

It has that. Have you tried their videoconferencing feature?

Other than that you can use one of a million Jitsi instances (Element has a publicly available one). Personally I use MiroTalk.

I prefer the LS1

Jesus fuck, these are like 90% AI apps.

Everyone uses Immich now 🤣

You can modify the code but there’s no “setting” in vanilla Mastodon. The request has been denied by Mr. Rochko himself, despite protests from the greater community.
