1·19 days agoI think that’s where I am at, yes. I have programming experience but very little in terms of networking. Ultimately what I want is a custom team management tool but I need to understand how these messengers work first. Thanks

7·20 days agoThey tend to have a massive amount of cooling units on top, which does create a lot of noise. There are also instances of the companies using portable diesel and even turbine generators to power their data centers, which has got to be infuriating to live near.

3·20 days agoThanks, Snikket seems like what I’m looking for, but it seems to focus on getting domain hosting so you can access it from anywhere. I don’t need that, accessing a port on my desktop would be enough. Do you know if Snikket can run that way?

11·20 days agoAs others have pointed out, moratoria like the one Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have proposed are designed to buy time to work questions like that out—to develop good governance and regulation of AI—not install a permanent ban.
It’s impossible to totally ban it since these models can be run locally. Anyway I think if we’re going to allow people to make AI slop and consume absurd amounts of electricity then there needs to be some guardrails put in place. Premium utility tax for electricity consumed (also apply this to crypto), watermarks for AI content, priority for renewables in new grid power, provisions for noise pollution. All of it.
But like the article points out, what we need here is time and the tech overlords just don’t want to give us that.

Hey I had to prompt like fifty times to get it this good. I’m at least as good an artist as Trump
