  … But why?

  Are… are you going to ask your wife and daughter to start submitting tickets if jellyfin stops working, or nextcloud stops syncing?? Are you going to create dashboards to make sure you are meeting SLIs?

  Or am I missing the point of what jira is for? (This is what I use jira for at work…)

  There is a certain kind of boomer who ended up retiring to a little hobby farm with a couple chickens and maybe a pig or a few sheep…

  We are all going to end up with hobby server farms, with a localized coy of Wikipedia backed up, and a file and image server, maybe some email…

  Honestly, this is the most reasonable take I have heard from tech bros on ai so far… Use it for something useful and stop using it for garbage!

  Ai has a million great uses that could make so many things so much easier, but instead we are building AI to undress women on twitter

  It’s much easier to build an expert ai, you don’t need it to have general knowledge and can feed them data manuals. It takes a lot less processing power and generates much better, accurate and relevant results. It also means there is a set quantity of data the ai can/needs to consume to know everything about x subject.

  Think about it like the… The Spotify library is like 350tb, but you won’t ever need all that, exclude all foreign language content,podcasts, and genres you don’t care about and that 350tb can get slimmed down a much more relevant 35tb, specialist ai is kinda like that…

  this seems incredibly short sighted… the current situation exists because there is a large amount of infrastructure and data centres being built. once that infrastructure is built, the demand will return to normal… OR once the bubble bursts, the market will be flooded with used ram from failed data centres… aliexpress will be selling ram at a dollar a gig when all these data centres flop
