Something like deSEC.io allows you to use your own domain for dynamic DNS for free.

Great

Is that this Hyperloop thing Musk was talking about?

What? No it doesn’t, not as long as the people responsible don’t step foot in the UK.

If they do - yes they’ll be arrested for having broken UK law.

Yup. I have the exact same. I can’t believe this actor isn’t evil.

What’s the Trinity Killer doing?

I agree it’s important we have our own tech industry. But in the case of LLMs in specifically, in my opinion best-case would be to have China / US develop open source models, like they currently are. Let them waste the money! :)

You think? I’m convinced the guardrails LLM companies impose only serve to up these companies’ reputation.

Why!

Love Ed Zitron. Especially his podcast is great. All “AI” sceptics should give it a listen.

I know this whole post is a joke, but I just wanted to say that when using a VPN, you’re not ”entrusting them with all your data security needs.”

I don’t think big tech that does stuff besides just AI (Google, Meta) will go bankrupt when the AI bubble busts. The AI-only tech companies though (OpenAI, Anthropic, …) - I guess we’ll see. I’m pretty sure many of those will die.

Intel actually makes stuff that gets used. OpenAI just spends billions upon billions of dollars for a solution in search of a problem to solve. It has to be shoved into everyone’s faces because someone has to start needing it, but no-one really does. The total revenue of all generative AI is the size of - brace yourself - the smartwatch market.

Oh right, that’s what those tests are about.

I can’t make out what number is displayed. Does that mean I need glasses?

Are you talking about the AI / big tech companies? No they won’t.

Sounds good, I’ll be taking a look at Pixelfed et al. But what do people post? Photos of food, friends and holidays, like on Instagram back in the day?

Great.

But don’t you think that even without algorithms, people on social media would have the urge to falsely portray their lives as perfect (or at least exclusively post about the positive aspects thereof) - leading to jealousy, FOMO and negative self-image for some of the viewers?
