I’m pretty sure I am. Who or what, though, is an open matter.

Interested in #tech: networks, #software development, #InfoSec.
I love random numbers, patterns and Pi.
My first computer was a #ZX81.

Also fond of #FountainPens, #reading & #writing, among other things.
Plus I happen to like people, so stop by and say hi!

Currently learning #OpenBSD 🐡 and #TouchTyping!

Sometimes I wonder: #WhereIsJessicaHyde?

@exquisite @h3artbl33d @mischa thanks a lot to you guys for all the work and care you're putting into the community! You are amazing human beings!

I take the opportunity to wish you the best for 2025: may it bring joy, serenity, and all the things you want to find, plus many good surprises! :blobheart:

@h3artbl33d have fun! :awesome:

@Rhesusnegatif @huma_num merci pour l’info ! :ablobwavereverse:

@h3artbl33d sure, #OpenBSD is an OS of choice, but you engineered and set up the infrastructure, plus you are taking the necessary time to maintain it! So big up to you! :flan_cheer:

Please do not add genAI images to punch up your writing. You might think that it adds a nice little bit of visual pizazz to your content-marketing piece, but what you're actually doing is *making it look like content marketing* rather than a useful resource. To the extent that content marketing is an effective tactic, it is because you build trust with the customer by providing them valuable information. A genAI turd plopped on top of your writing is a signal that it will be worthless slop.

The push for an "age verification" requirement on the Internet is 1% aimed at protecting children and 99% aimed at controlling speech. It effectively bans anonymity, for starters.

It is a license to speak, and read.

AI GONE MAD

1. AI has been feeding on the creative efforts of humans for a while.

We provide "grass" for this hungry digital bovine. Shown: pixelated cow labeled COWGPT

2. But as the internet increasingly becomes filled with AI-generated content, AI is consuming itself.

Researchers at Rice University have compared the resulting data corruption to mad cow disease, spread by cows eating other cows.

Cow eating ground up cow with hoof sticking out

3. They say "without enough fresh real data, future generative models are doomed to madness." (Model Autophagy Disorder)

Cows eating other cows, devolving into multiple legged three eyed AI cows

4. Is this really the dream of the future? A diseased digital brain full of misfolded data prions leading us to certain death?

1990s - Woman using Netscape Navigator: The whole world is connected!

Soon - Waking away from laptop as frothing cow emerges from screen: I think I'll read a book.

@mms @stefano I hope you and yours can stay safe!

@mms congrats, super cool! :flan_cool:

@fredix je l’ai en stock quelque part. :flan_wink:

@fredix ça me donne envie de revoir le film ! :flan_popcorn:

@fredix je ne rappelle plus de son nom par contre. :flan_think:

@fredix je suis un fan de Ash. :flan_guns:
