  Thanks, we’ll keep track of what they are doing.

  I misphrased, they are an Admin/Op, and essential.

  would it be enough to have those rules in place, and when reported actively remove the content as a mod?

  We’re pretty good with daily moderating of of content on futurology.today, so I’d be confident we could cover that aspect.

  However I’m wondering about federation issues. Are we liable for UK users who use their futurology.today account to access other instances we don’t mod?

  the problem is that the guidance is too large and overbearing.

  This.

  Who gets to decide what “self-harm” is? There’ll be some busybodies who’ll say that any remotely positive messaging for LGBTQ youth is self-harm.

  Great info. Out of curiosity what does your hosting setup say about visitor numbers? Futurology.today uses Cloudflare. They give a figure of about 10k per day for what they call unique visitors. That seems unduly high when you look at how busy our lemmy instance actually is. We have just short of 1K subscribers, so I would assume visitor numbers would be lower than 10k per day.

  It should also worry investors open-source AI is only months behind the big tech leaders. I looked into AI voice cloning lately. There’s a few really pricey options. Like $25 a month for a couple of hours voice cloning.

  However, there’s already an open-source version of what they’re selling.

  I wonder when this is going to seriously affect world oil demand? People used to think “Peak Oil” would be when supply was constrained, it turns out it will be when demand is constrained.

  Assuming we get AGI, AI will be able to all work one day. Cheaper than humans too.

  Shame nothing works the other way around yet. The only option Lemmy seems to give is to DM a mastodon account & even that doesn’t seem to work (at least it didn’t for me).
