ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the 'Anti Personnel Incendiary' system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn't be controlling weapons systems.

Show me a computer that can power and maintain itself and I'll start worrying.

The risk AI poses is the same as fossil fuel or nuclear weapons, human decisions are the problem.

But the cool new thing is because humans struggle to understand the difference between a calculation and a decision, we can blame AI for any harmful decisions we make based on its calculations.

The 'harm from AI' is just another version of the harm caused by a few people controlling something that millions contribute to. The only solution to that I see is just set an upper limit on wealth so that unlimited greed doesn't become unlimited power.

 

I'm interested in hosting a small lemmy instance from my home and I already use proxmox for several services so figured I'd start there.

I got a quick test lemmy instance running on an ubuntu VM but decided I wanted to try running it in an LXC container since PVE has a great setup for those. So I tried again with an ubuntu LXC container and got that going pretty quick too. I'm wondering if running a docker container from inside an LXC container is a good idea or not. I like the idea because it seems very portable and lightweight, but I also wonder if I'm creating more overhead by doing the Russian doll thing with containers.

I'm also wondering about DNS and security. The only thing I run locally that's accessible from the web is home assistant and I use Nabu Casa's service for that so it was pretty idiot proof. Does anyone have any general recommendations\dos\donts for running an instance from home? I'm planning to use cloudflare for DNS but I'm kind of new to this part so looking for advice.

The Jaws theme would be fun.

I'm just glad to find something that's growing with public enthusiasm instead of dying from corporate greed.

The whole head-neck assembly is a disaster. Should have kept all the vital stuff in the torso and gone with articulated eyestalks.

I'm kind of loving it. I grew up on local BBS and before Reddit I was on lots of content-specific forums and boards but Reddit became my primary social media and it sort of absorbed the activity from a lot of those boards. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old internet forum thing, but improved- a bit spread out and janky at times but still condensed enough so I don't have a dozen forum accounts.

It really is. I'm glad I came over to Lemmy a few days before. Makes it easier to find the humor in this jackass imploding something so many people enjoy and contribute to.

Amazing someone with a lifelong ambition of being a mafia don never learned to just stfu when you're doing crime.

Is this the right link? https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/144ho2x/join_our_ceo_tomorrow_to_discuss_the_api/

I've also checked spez's user page and there's nothing there yet so are they late or am I in the wrong place?

Here it is - https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/

I know it's probably too late to add this feature but I think a lot of users like me that relied on RIF and others would like to delete their history so it doesn't add to Reddit's content (not that I added much, but in principle).

I know there are other ways and I'll try to find one but for a lot of people it would be easier to just do it through the app before it's gone.
