      I think they should host a Dropbox and Facebook alternative with zero profit motive.

      An LLM makes sense too.

      These are useful tools and really don’t require an insane amount of resources if you keep your user base small.

    Fucking amazing. I never made that connection. I love libraries. And sometimes you find them in the oddest places in a city…in parks, at the top of hills, hidden away in the middle of far flung neighborhoods…

    What about data centers that make the internet work?.. Would you rather not be able to post this?

      Yes actually. The internet should become more decentralized. Ultimately it would all be run from homes, or distributed over many devices.

      This would avoid many of the effects of big tech centralizing so many things like AWS or google services going down. DNS problems, or Cloudflare.

        While we’re dreaming I feel like internet infrastructure should be nationalized like other utilities also should be…

      I was thinking, imagine if we used all the data centers for literally anything other than AI

      Yeah we need to start making the distinction between traditional data centers and these new AI spreading data centers.
