Careful, once it’s automated you won’t be able to work on it anymore!

Posts about self hosting are welcome, posts to strangers seeking external validation…? Maybe save for therapy.

😂 It wasn’t until I was finished typing out my comment that I realized I was doing the classic Lemmy thing of just wholly ignoring OP and ranting about something tangential.

I may not be able to control myself but at least I can acknowledge my poor behavior!

I can’t help you so I’m going to rant about something not related.

Gramps is great once it’s up and running but it’s so frustrating that you cant add a person and just add a residence or wedding date or birth. Noooo, you need to create the events and locations first and then create the person and link the events to them.

Which is basically the opposite way humans think about lifetimes. I would kill for a feature of “Create new birth/wedding/etc event” from the person page.

stop? 👉👈 🥺 why UwU? me do wrong?

It absolutely is!

You: “Now listen child, and heed my tale of woe…”

Them: “drop it one banana”

Yeah the best option is the old PC you already have. Unless you’re transcoding video or into LLMs it will be more than enough.

Yes the way I see it, is if someone is spending $60/month on 3-5 creators that’s still more money going to “the arts” than if the same person spent double that on streaming services.

Thank you I was actually so confused lmao I’m like, are they distributing this ET reel in pieces?

I got the lifetime plan on Black Friday back when it was $0.00 I’m really glad I did that now

Thrift stores often have old laptops for cheap

That’s a great point, I suspect you’re right. Also the Internet wasn’t something you were constantly connected to back then, so spending 45 minutes a day on stumbleupon felt more special.

Granted there’s no good reason we need to be spending as much time as we do online now…

THANK YOU. I’m always saying this. People always say they miss the “old, weird internet” but it’s still there and still active and still growing. But these people choose to spend their time on 2-3 highly addictive apps and complain about it. Nobody is forcing you to download Tiktok dude.

That’s assuming the hypothetical superintelligence is willing to do the bidding of billionares. But I’m not sure how the billionares would control something that is smarter than them and also doesn’t rely on money to stay alive.

Glad the subheader is “Imagine what happens if jobs actually start disappearing.”

There’s just still not a lot of evidence that LLMs could take a substantial number of jobs away, unless your job is spam, advertising or propaganda. Corporations are blaming AI but there just isn’t the evidence to support the idea that those fired workers are anything other than normal downsizing (that conveniently help fit the narrative and boost the stock price).

IF an AI gets invented that actually begins making humans unemployable, the economy as it exists wouldn’t be able to withstand it …who would pay for things if there are no jobs? Why provide goods and services for money if nobody can pay for it? Even being a billionare would be pointless because if everyone else’s economic value is zero they can’t be compelled to do anything with your worthless slop money.

There are nice friendly frontends for this, Yunohost or CasaOS spring to mind but might be too simplistic if you already are familiar with Docker.

This was an interesting article! While there is an argument to be made for an “AGI Manhattan project” I’m not convinced that companies like OpenAI or xAI will be of much value to a project like that at all. It would be like if the US government took over Joey’s Really Big Stacks of Dynamite Emporium in the 1940’s.
