Congrats and thank you!!

Konqi, the KDE dragon, says hello from inside a gear.

This October... KDE is turning 30!

Celebrate with us: send us historic photos for our gallery, tell us a KDE story, or share a little-known KDE fact.

Become a supporting member and guarantee 30 more years of FLOSS. Organize a KDE event and we'll include it on our map!

As to the energy and water consumption: companies are starting to push for ARM-based AI chips and better memory compression algorithms, which is good for innovation. It won't ever be "great", but it'll get better (and cheaper).

User endangerment is a whole other can of worms, very under-discussed.

Yeah, I'm hoping they drop the chat interface and focus more on the data-crunching aspect of it, could be a really cool thing. Decentralized algorithms are a very cool concept.

We'll see what they do with it, just don't add "chat with out assistant" popups anywhere and I'm good.

I'm not too into AI myself, but since I'm not really missing anything from bsky at this point, I'm fine if they work on other things - worst case scenario I just won't use it, so - meh.

Btw, there's an open GitHub issue regarding post edits, so it's very much on the roadmap, just expensive.

Ok this is cool af

Editing posts in place could potentially break their backend architecture, since I'm pretty sure they make heavy use of the fact that posts are immutable.

You can make a custom AT protocol client that uses backlinks for "post editing". The beauty of open source is that it's your choice.

Adding an "edit feature" is pretty complicated.

You have to realize they're maintaining an entire messaging protocol, which would have to add support for editing posts. This, I imagine, would have to be implemented by using backlinks and basically creating a new post and hide the original one.

Well, they're clearly in a position where the product is able to be driven by the developers. People don't need their handles to be URLs, they don't need their posts to be part of a larger ecosystem outside the Bluesky app. But both are really cool things that are driven by experiments.

This guy really thinks LLMs are vibe coded, lmao

Oh, right, I forgot OP was the announcement.

But yeah, same here. I guess they just blocked everybody? Some PR strategy that.

Same.

Wasn't the original post anti-AI though?

There's really no other option in a democratic system

How much progress have we made on climate change? YouTube video by Simon Clark

Actually, we've made a crap ton of progress on climate change, don't lose hope yet!

Great video about this: youtu.be/h1jOqyjcO4g?...

Well, the situation is very different now and given that the election competition will be fierce, focusing on issues like AI impacting the environment and markets will be a big focus IMO. Unless he just goes full dictator, but that's a different conversation.

The bubble has to burst and the "AI market" has to be rebuilt anew, with cheaper, more efficient components to make it at least sustainable. This is already driving innovation in the tech space. At that point, the supply/demand system kicks in and only actually helpful AI survives.

DDR5 RAM Prices Are Finally Seeing Decline After OpenAI Fails To Purchase 40% Of World's DRAM Wafer Supply For the first time in several months, DDR5 RAM prices have finally started to decline, with several factors causing this sudden U-turn.

Give it time, the bubble will pop. There’s no ROI. In the meantime, all we can do is hope the US comes to its senses (read: impeaches Trump)

It’s already happening. RAM prices are about to start nosediving.

This is your daily reminder that the US government is, in fact, not the only government.

EU will do it first, others will follow once the political climate calms down.

Resources are finite. Ethical AI just boils down regulations (mandating higher power efficiency and limiting resource usage).

It’s not that hard. The VC hype just has to die for this to be realistically competitive.

Is this how clickbait works?

AI needs to be regulated at the hardware level in terms of its effects on the environment, water is also wet.

RAM and GPU shortages are temporary, just buy once the bubble pops. They’ll be scrambling to get rid of that shit for pennies.

Mine’s not quite as green, but I appreciate the compliment.

Also, tag NSFW for any children present, thank you.

Oh, for sure! I just think that a small-time operation like this is a drop in the ocean and not really worth anyone’s time nor vitriol.

You can absolutely build ethical AI data centres and this should be either encouraged or dictated by governments. RAM shortages are a supply/demand problem.

Moved all my stuff to a self hosted instance of Forgejo because of this

Btw, I forgot to mention this, but if your posts are public, they are being fed into AI algorithms without your knowledge or consent right now. The wonders of a public internet. I wish we could all go back to BBS and site links.

Touch grass

Bluesky is AI free. It’s a separate service.

Grok only turned out the way it did because it was trained on an increasingly right leaning user base and configured by a manchild who thinks he’s funny without understanding he’s at a KKK gathering.

Well. No.

You aren’t forced to download it, use it or interact with it. That’s sending signals to the “big bad capitalists” that they won’t get your money or data that way.

You control the market. You’re the end consumer for crying out loud.

That’s not how capitalism works though
