Fellow Menschen mit Brille: wie häufig putzt ihr euer Nasenfahrrad? #fedipoll

Continued thread

I'd like to see how folks around this corner of the Fediverse think about generative AI, for which I mostly mean LLMs and image generators.

Are these systems one of the major sources of harm for the environment and society? Will they cause more harm in the future, or did the harm already peak? Select all that is applicable.

Pls. check the poll above, too.

Boosts are appreciated.

I'd like to see how folks around this corner of the Fediverse think about generative AI, for which I mostly mean LLMs and image generators.

Do these systems work reliably, do they produce useful outputs? Will they, or is it just a pipe dream / bubble that will burst? If they will work, will they work much better than now causing a lot of problems, or are they peaked already?

Pls. check the poll below, too.

Boosts are appreciated.

Have you gotten communications — documents, emails, CVs, ... — that supposedly were written by actual people (I'm not talking spam, but supposedly legit contects) but where people by accident copied or left in the #GenAI prompt as well …?

Care to share the context in the replies?

Which XMPP server do you recommend and why?

Edit: I deployed ejabberd with Docker yesterday, and it's working pretty well compared to the earlier versions I tried. I think I'll stick to it for now.

I’m kinda done with Mastodon. It’s been my main spot, but it’s missing quote posting, which drives me nuts—I just wanna comment on posts without resharing everything! Also, it’s eating up my server’s resources, and I’m running a bunch of stuff on one machine, so I need something that doesn’t hog CPU or disk space.

I used Akkoma with Mangane frontend before and really liked how light and customizable it was. Problem? The database got huge, and I couldn’t find simple tools to clean out old stuff. It was like digging through a messy closet. I’m thinking of trying Akkoma again, but is there a way to keep the database under control?

I’m also looking at Misskey—it seems fun with quote posting and a cool community. But does it use a lot of server resources? How hard is it to back up or move to another server? I’d love Mastodon API support since my clients need it.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there's an uptake in the number of people one needs to explain things to repeatedly?

Both until they "get" it the first time, and even then repeatedly because they appear to have forgotten?

(More so than in the past.)

I wonder if *I* am the one whose mind is going weird or if there's a real world effect somehow?

Fedi, do you tip on self-service/ready-to-go meals?

Ex. Prepared wraps, sandwiches, salad bowls or similar; drinks, chips or snacks, cookies, etc. Where you simply grab what you want and go to pay at the staffed cash.

Fediverset er i gang med at udvikle forum-teknologier, vi mangler bare nogle der kan starte servere specifikke for nogle sammenhænge. Mine drømme ville gå i opfyldelse hvis der var et international forum for gartneri, et forum for den landsby eller kommune jeg bor i, et lukket forum for en politisk organisation jeg er medlem af, et forum for mit data-kooperativ, et forum for vores kollektive hus i Sverige osv. osv.
