Oh oh oh. @Nieuwsuur_online laat zich gewillig als datacenterpropagandaorgel bespelen: “In Amerika lopen ze voor met investeringen in en bouw van datacenters! EU moet ook!!11!!!!

Kijk eens naar de ROI op AI, met name de LLM’s waar die enorme groei op gebaseerd is. Die is er niet. Geen van de bedrijven maakt winst, behalve de chipmakers. Sterker: voor winst is met de huidige hoeveelheid geïnvesteerd geld een economisch wonder nodig. Trap niet in het boosternarratief.

Europa loopt ver achter in AI-race en de doemscenario's komen nu al uit

Eerder dan experts verwachtten, probeert Amerika AI-technieken voor zichzelf te houden. Dat legt Europa's afhankelijkheid pijnlijk bloot.

In case you didn't know, the fediverse has a 3D printing platform called @manyfold that allows you to explore and share 3d print files!

The maintainer @Floppy has done an amazing job, you can preview prints and even send gcode to your printer ✨

@NilaJones @elomatreb I've been playing with Comaps which uses OSM data (which is a thing you can upload to) and it looks pretty good. For my personal maps (with trails and secret camping spots) I use Caltopo, which accepts several different import formats. I've never tried exporting from Google though. Good luck!

No, sorry, what you meant to say was:

"It looks like we've written an unsupported website"

The one bright spot of LLMs is that we've learned exactly how morally and creatively bankrupt this industry is, and how fast people are willing to throw away everything they said they cared about for decades - craft, understanding, efficiency, detail, all of it - just to cosplay competence and bandwagon their way to groupthink targets they don't even realize were made up to manipulate them.

Christ it's embarassing.
