A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I hope shitty things like this motivate people to organize into alternative networks, like local meshnets and more in-person community interactions. The internet may be hopelessly broken at this point.
I'll plug meshtastic and ham radio, then. Meshtastic (at least in the US, no idea about other places) is legal to do without any sort of license. It's a peer to peer messaging service basically. So imagine like a walkie talkie that sends texts. Ham Radio needs a license but blows the doors open on the types of stuff you can do.

Does anyone have a self hosted social media, where all of the media on my profile would be on my server (even a phone) and somebody viewing my profile would literally have to pull thumbnails and data straight from my device in a peer to peer kind of fashion?
I’ve been keeping an eye on Diaspora, but no clue how good it really is.
