Then there should be consequences any day now, right?

Still it’s the state of the industry.

Australia? Isn’t that the other side of the world, where people live upside down and don’t even notice it?

Very true. A regulation that not only regards the interests of capitalists but also of the people and the environment living there could fix that.

The problems with data centers are not the data centers, it’s missing regulation about where and how to build data centers.

It’s a very American problem.

Would the promise require dems to actually do something about data centers?

When it’s daylight over the Pacific the workers are probably busy with ship things, when it’s daylight over Asia, they’ll be using Chinese data centers, there’s no wonder why American data center have vastly reduced load.

Oh, they don’t work at night? Me neither. But during work time I need more compute anyway.

Pi Coding Agent on the laptop, openwebui as a self hosted service.

I don’t host LLMs myself. My best hardware has 16GB of RAM, I could run a 4B model or so, but what’s the point? So I buy compute with ZDR turned on.

Thanks for sharing some experiences from on the ground. It’s certainly anecdotal but even then already a lot more nuanced than the general 2-bullet-point rage that drives public perception.

Right, like from March or so. Everybody in the loop, especially CEOs know that AI now produces clear code that doesn’t need any review.

Hey its 2026! just ask AI who should win based on popular vibe, and be done with.

We call it vibe voting

Just like main replaced master in a heartbeat.

As if one could break out of the bubble with tech bro “media”

There are still other means of communications than the way of tech Bros.

Why is the EFF is concerned with tax laws? The traditional slippery slope is to use concerns about child safety and extend it to places where child safety is hardly a topic.

You should have cited instead the Online Safety Act 2023 which does not even use the term social media platform. Instead it uses user to user service, which is even broader.

But it also brings across the point better, and it aligns with science that tells us where childrens safety is a concern.

maybe, before you rant against governments addressing a problem that is reported from medical professionals, first take a position around the real problems that these social media platforms bring. You are certainly not on Lemmy because you are happy how Instagram and Reddit function. Are you only concerned about moderation at all, and not so much about the content they promote? For me it’s primarily the latter. In my eyes moderation is a necessary feature, and I think the only places that are even more toxic than the corporation controlled platforms are places without any moderation.

I know what social media is. You are painting a strawman of how the laws might get abused with further law which nobody is suggesting, aside from fear mongerers like you. And while focusing on that straw man you completely ignore the very real problems that social media brought into the world.

Nevertheless, even if you were right, the internet is still much larger.

They have a flag Zero Data Retention that cones with the promise that after a call no data is kept on any servers. I’m using that.

It’s contract level trust; I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but overall it’s a compromise I’m willing to make.

Who?
