A few YouTube vids about transhumanism and ai worshiping have been popping up on my feeds. I actively ignore it, not trying to tempt the psychosis, lol

It did read like an Onion article, crazy

Many may argue we are still a very long way from agi even though these llm company ceos might make you believe otherwise. In either case, there will always be a new technology we have to learn to leverage for fear of getting left behind. The only antidote to that would be to stop seeking "progress" and be content with what we can do now, seeking to make our existence more sustainable. I mean what's to stop us from just saying hey this is pretty good as it is and everyone seek to have a self-sustainable or community sustained existence.... na that prob won't happen....

Interesting read. I haven't seen much word on the use of fedimints either. I wonder where ecash will go. I think both cashu and fedimint are cool approaches but until it's used more (i imagine us nostriches would have to be the champions, and even then I've seen huge calls to action for cashu but not much use) What do you think?

Anyone self hosting llms here? What kinds of things are you doing with it and why, if you dont mind me asking?

There was a short glimmer of hope at the beginning of all this when the talk if cutting cost and tightening to pay back some of the debt was part of the narrative.

Honestly, there's not enough conversation around data sovereignty as there should be. It just goes against the grain of what "smart" people these days think should be the focus. Most developers seek to raise walls around it and raise it like a herd of cattle so their corporation can be the sole benefactor of the slaughter. It can be incredibly cheap to run a home server, why don't more people do it? Why isn't it popular to host your own data? I'm not even touching on the security and privacy aspect of it, I'm talking the mere economics of it. I have 2 kids and a wife and I'm super involved with my extended family ie in laws, brothers, my parents. Just think about the aggregated cost per year on data hosting subscriptions. If everyone pays between $2-$5 in an extended family of 10, you can pay for a $600 server in one year. Most hardware should last you at least 5 if taken care of correctly.

If, in the very near future, AI applications make it incredibly easy to offer goods and services at scale without the need of employees, what would work look like? #asknostr

KYC is likely what they meant by "bypassing" legal entities. Kind of bullshit really. He's never condoned illegal activity. I do hope this was just a mistake

What you hauling?
