🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU

A lot of the devs on atproto on here seem to be like, why won't any users use my stuff well, bc a not inconsiderable amount of current atproto users on bluesky are artists and marginalized people and you have a fuckass chatgpt ghibli pfp. I cannot emphasize this enough, you are signaling you don't

It is economically beneficial for the big US AI corps to scare politicians into heavily regulating AI with their guidance, a tactic to quash competition and likely outlaw open weight models. There are legal and ethical issues with (gen)AI, but imagine the only legal models being proprietary.

Bernie hasn't tried this on here yet but here he is doing free marketing for OpenAI. He has been captured by the worst people in AI for a few years now and has been parroting company hype talking points instead of guarding against them. It’s like the public is being assaulted from all sides.

No, this is not science fiction. Uncontrolled AI poses a serious threat to all of us. 

We cannot continue the race to build and deploy this powerful technology until strong safeguards are in place.

CONGRESS MUST ACT.
