Even more frustrating when you realize, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, these new “AI” programs and LLMs aren’t really novel in terms of theoretical approach: the real revolution is the amount of computing power and data to throw at them.

This is 100% true. LLMs, neural networks, markov chains, gradient descent, etc. etc. on down the line is nothing particularly new. They've collectively been studied academically for 30+ years. It's only recently that we've been able to throw huge amounts of data, computing capacity, and time to tweak said models to achieve results unthinkable 10-ish years ago.

There have been efficiencies, breakthroughs, tweaks, and changes over this time too, but that's just to be expected. But largely its just sheer raw size/scale that's just been achievable recently.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here; LLMs are absolutely under the umbrella of AI, they are 100% a form of AI. They are not AGI/STRONG AI, but they are absolutely a form of AI. There's no "reframing" necessary.

No matter how you frame it, though, there's always going to be a battle between the entities that want to use a large amount of data for profit (corporations) and the people who produce said content.

oh, really? maybe i'll turn mine off then.....Thanks for the heads up!

Definitely opens up a big question about the security of Lemmy instances that I am sure will be discussed over the next few days.

They added 2FA login to lemmy in one of the newer updates. Probably pretty pertinent for any admins to use it....

For what it's worth, the admins won't actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That's why it says "private moderator note", it's a note only the mod team can see

(It's still funny, though)

I'd love the second option, utilizing SSO so that I can effectively have the same account over different protocols/instances. I feel like that's far down the wish list overall of what we'll see coming though.

By default lemmy instances will federate when they're made aware of each other. I don't think your instance will federate with any of you set it up as a private instance, though.

Other than that, you can blacklist instances you don't want to federate with.

most will just slow the rate your deck discharges (if you're using it), you need a high output charger to actually charge it. Anker makes a few that will, i personally have the 737 and think its worth every single penny with the steam deck.

My favorite npc I ever ran was in a homebrew spelljammer campaign a few years ago, the foible for the party was a beholder pirate captain named eye-beard who would constantly one-up or outmaneuver the party. Also let me talk like a pirate. After they killed him he later came back as a death tyrant

Depends on what you're looking to get out of it. Printing medium-sized toys or busts or things without a lot of fine details? Probably an fdm printer like an ender 3 to start with.

Wanting to print miniatures for tabletop games like d&d or Warhammer? Probably a resin printer like a photon mono 4k or something.

The fdm printer will have a much larger build plate but lower quality, and resin will be much smaller but higher quality.

Hardly surprising. Wotc wants to go all in on digital. Time will tell how that will play out for them....

there are precedents for things interacting with "magical damage", such as heavy armor master. That's what removing the "from spells" portion of the ability would do, though "magical damage" is a little bit vague and requires the DM to make judgement calls pretty often.
