Do you already have a server deployed? How familiar are you with Linux?
No server. I just installed Linux a few months ago as dual boot after being a lifelong Windows user (since 3.1 lol). Currently using both OS but will move fully to Linux once I have some projects finished. Self-hosting might become a future project after that and if yes, I’ll come back to this community and this thread!
I.e., not limited at all.
What’s stopping people you know from taking this step?
I’m a noob when it comes to IT. (Even though in my family I’m the one people ask when they have computer issues lol.) I would really like to get into self-hosting and all that, and I think if I found some good guides I would probably be able to make things work, but it still sounds very daunting to me. Like, I imagine days if not weeks of sifting through online resources to fix a thousand little errors and issues that would come up. (Maybe I’m mistaken, maybe it’s all really easy even for noobs. Just trying to explain my feelings on the matter.)
Edit: Woke up to 10 replies lol. Thanks for everybody’s input and helpful links. I think this might become a future project for me, but not before winter 26/27 (for life reasons).
Yeah I’m gonna make a bold prediction and say this guy will face no consequences whatsoever.
You got that all wrong. He ended the US-Venezuela war! I’m sure he’ll end the US-Greenland war next!
That’s such a (US) American thing. “Someone coughed when the cop didn’t order it? Deserves to be executed right then and there.” I see it all the time in comments about killings like this and it never stops weirding me out.
Good for California. If only all countries of the earth followed suit so the billionaires would have to move into their weird libertarian ocean hubs.
…or the time travelers were just unsuccessful. I mean there have been attempts on his life.
Thanks, very interesting. I think I had read about the US occupying Greenland during WWII (defensively), but not about the buy offers.
And yes, obviously nothing legitimises these threats. I was just interested to see whether Trump came up with it or whether it has some history in US political circles, which it appears it does.
Canada would be wise to build nukes ASAP.
A related question I have: Was the US ever (publicly) interested in “acquiring” Greenland before Trump? His comments are the first of the sort I ever noticed, but I could imagine the idea having a longer tradition.
Don’t know if true but also completely plausible.
No. I was just interested because I’ve seen a lot of headlines about how Grok creates all these problematic images of women, minors etc., but not about other similar generative AI software. But my understanding so far has been that there’s no real way to safeguard generative AI at all, so I was wondering whether this was a Grok-only problem, and if so, how others were avoiding it.
Do other generative AI services also do this? Or do they have functioning safeguards?
I mean… yes, but this is kinda true for everything. Most people don’t change their worldview/religion/political ideology etc. when they’re happy and everything goes well. Most people also don’t start their own business, move countries or leave their spouse if they’re entirely happy with how things have been going.
To put it in system dynamics terms, in order for a system to settle on a new attractor state, there first needs to be enough instability to spur change. So the mechanism you’re describing isn’t unique to religion.
It sounds and looks a lot like the 2015 Colectiv nightclub fire, the 2013 Kiss nightclub fire, or the 2003 Station nightclub fire:
One report mentioned the bar was mostly underground. This is pure speculation but I would not be surprised if there was a dearth of (emergency) exits, and if many of the casualties and injuries resulted from crowd crush and smoke inhalation.
In any case, it SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE for a bar or nightclub to go up in flames within seconds. Somebody fucked up big time.
Condolences to everybody affected.
Edit: This eye-witness account seems to confirm the crowd crush. At around 1:00 she recounts how victims got stuck at a small door leading out from the basement area.
Plot twist: Q was a government insider and was trying to tell us that Trump was involved in child sex trafficking. Think mirror. /s jk I know Q was a grift
I can agree with that. (As an aside, I think scientific findings are almost always exaggerated like this in popular journalism.)
I’d say the long and short of it is that we simply don’t (and can’t) know yet. But I think more research on possible links between AI and psychotic delusions is definitely useful, because I find the idea of a connection plausible.
Alright, but the point is that the “X level of safety” AI is at might be a dangerous level in the first place. I don’t think anybody is arguing that AI got more dangerous as a psychosis risk factor over the past year or so, they’re arguing that AI was a risk factor to begin with, and with increased AI use more evidence of this turns up. So you saying that the inherent risk of AI hasn’t changed is kind of a moot point because that’s not what the debate is about.
Also notice that I clearly said it’s too early to tell one way or the other, so there’s no reason to malign me as uncritical.
Thanks a lot for the offer. This might become a project of mine in the future but not before the end of this year. I might get back to you then. :)
