I would’ve gone with a less powerful nas and got a separate unit for compute. I got a synology nas with a decent amount of compute so I could run all my stuff on the nas, and the proprietary locked down OS drives me a bit nuts. Causes all sorts of issues. If I had a separate compute box I could just be running some flavor of Linux, probably Ubuntu and have things behave much more nicely

I’m also dual running Plex and Jellyfin. Ive had a few files I’ve downloaded that Plex won’t play but Jellyfin will. I like plexs UX a smidge better but if more issues like that pop up I’ll be a convert

Yeah they had ~175 employees in January, and this layoff was like 37 people. A shame, but not large scale

This will definitely be setting some precedent on how AI music is treated. I’m on the side of the monkey with a camera and that anything made by these large models is public domain. I’m sure these record companies would be ecstatic if they could license an artists voice without having to have them sing anything new

This would be so nice actually. Seems like a doable project for activity pub

I think it’s not a hard stop but it is an issue. I think it will force models to be trained in more novel ways, rather than just purely pump more data in. I think ideally we’d be able to reach GPT level intelligence on fractions of the data and compute. These new techniques have yet to be made but this will put pressure on their creation

Tough choice. I feel like if you’re a creator who uses YouTube as your sole source of income, a few bucks a month, even like $100 could be worth while. Tragically would lock out people just starting, but maybe they can get some kind of free trial? On the consumer side tho I imagine people would be much less likely to pay, but maybe some people could be convinced if it was real cheap.

Peertube I think helps offload that by having every video be a torrent so each additional viewer increases the max bandwidth. But still not free to start

I could see someone making some fork of peertube that helps creators get paid. May not be free but could get creators willing to join

I imagine anyone who’s already made an account here has already made a decent effort to leave permanently but there’s clearly many more people that have not jumped ship to lemmy/kbin. I think that as more people join these services people will improve by their open source nature. Hopefully the kinks will iron out over time. If lemmy can make it a much more seemless process generally, more people will jump ship

Lemmy already has the core features of communities, threads, etc. An easier onboarding is key to growing right now. Many people get confused, tho perhaps that will shift with time. Mastodon-esque account migration would also be nice. I think I’d like to see solid multi-reddits. Some nice way to have multi-instance communities would help with scalability imo.
