What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? (lemm.ee)

Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i'm wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren't mediaservers.

You’re a brave one admitting that on here. Don’t you know LLM’s are pure evil? You might as well be torturing children!

    Interesting, this has not been my experience. Most people on here seem to treat AI as completely black and white, with zero shades of grey.

    I’ll give my recommendation to local LLMs as well. I have a 1060 super that I bought years ago in 2019 and it’s just big enough to do some very basic auto completion within visual studio. I love it. I wouldn’t trust it to write an entire program on its own, but when I have hit a mental block and need a rough estimate of how to use a library or how I can arrange some code, it gives me enough inspiration to get through that hump.

    Ais fine as a tool, trying to replace workers and artists while blatantly ripping stuff off is annoying, it can be a timesaver or just helpful for searching through your own docs/files

    If you agree it’s a time saver, then you agree it makes workers more efficient. You now have a team of 5 doing the work of a team of 6. From a business perspective it’s idiotic to have more people than you need to, so someone would be let go from that team.

    I personally don’t see any issue with this, as it’s been happening for the existence of humanity.

    Tools are constantly improving that make us more efficient.

    Most of people’s issue with AI is more an issue with greedy humans, and not the technology itself. Lord knows that new team of 5 is not getting the collective pay as the previous team of 6.

    more work can get done and more work can be show in progress, its like a marginal timesaver, itll knock off 25% of a human maybe if that, not replace a whole one

    If everyone on your team of 6 is 20% faster, you don't necessarily need the 6th person. Maybe you put that towards more work, but that's not very American, these days. Cut costs, cash out, fuck 'em

    LLMs are perfectly fine, and cool tech. Problem is they're billed as being actual intelligence or things that can replace humans. Sure they mimic humans well enough, but it would take a lot more than just absorbing content to be good enough at it to replace a human, rather than just aiding them. Either the content needs to be manually processed to add social context, or new tech needs to be made that includes models for how to interpret content in every culture represented by every piece of content, including dead cultures who's work is available to the model. Otherwise, "hallucinations" (e.g. misinterpretation and thus miscategorization of data) will make them totally unreliable without human filtering.

    That being said, there many more targeted uses of the tech that are quite good, but always with the need for a human to verify.
