I keep hearing this but what makes them "good"? Like at the end of the day they're still just LLMs right? Even if they can generate a perfect picture that no human could tell is AI, so what? What is that skill useful for besides fooling humans into believing something is real that isn't true?

Heck- they can't even set a reminder like natural language processing (Siri) could do fifteen years ago.

This is one of those times I like to be a pedant and separate LLMs and other generating bots from what I think most people would consider intelligence. Real intelligence made from silicon could serve all of humanity, but LLMs are just the next fancy shitcoin the wealthy and their hangers-on want to convince you spits out something that has high value when it clearly doesn't (unless you're in the propaganda business).

If you're using Frigate with docker you could route the container through a gluetun container.

Not really, it's still encrypted. If you're not a political dissident and just using Signal to chat with friends then it is helpful to make yourself available to said friends.

I have notifications on when someone joins and maybe 75% of the time after I see the notification their account is "deleted" because they changed the privacy settings.

It's not the end of the world but I do wish more people wouldn't automatically pick the maximum privacy setting so that we could actually, yknow use it

You're backing up 4tb for $6/mo? I looked into B2 for a 2tb drive and it was double that.

I'm assuming you have a CEC dongle or use second remote?
