"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I mean, I kind of figure they would split it up into chunks. That's how Anna's archive works I think.
I'm not saying that's wrong, but it sounds like you're not hosting it. And I'm not either (can't spare the space).
I'm just impressed by how much of the tech world shrugs off these horrible losses of critical infrastructure as "well, someone somewhere will fix it." When projects get shut down "someone will pick it up and continue it".
The good will and resources of underappreciated people are not an infinite resource we can rely on to keep making miracles happen for nothing, especially as the number of people with CAPACITY and skill to spare for good will keeps getting eaten away by our dystopia. And we're not that far away from "I'd like to run a box to host 10 Tb of Anna's Archive. The hardware will cost $4000 and the electricity per month will cost another $400." At some point we either stop the attack on our futures, or accept that it's over.
