May be trying creating one and see how much effort and time is required to clone such a functionality to a proper working state! Something for personal use can be created in about 5-10 days, but even then the skill that is required and the amount of tokens to burn, hosting and security etc, will easily kill. This is exactly the thought process of many, but it will surely kill many opensource contributors. I've stopped committing anything to any open source repos as a personal choice. I do not want to train a LLM which will eventually create more slop and headaches since for me, time is the only important factor which holds the maximum value! Nothing else!
It is not about the humans who use AI for posting!
I believe it is more about the bot accounts that gets overwhelmingly annoying... and pollutes this and other places like reddit or other such discussion forums...
Some kind of a verification and vetting needs to happen for account creation.
I agree. But I am also sick and tired of humans prompting some LLM about the points that they want to say and having the LLM generate the response. Online communities will never be the same again.
This is bonkers to redirect the thought process. What does it do to prevent creating systems that has been mentioned in the guardrails? Nothing. I will use the system for everything that is mentioned, but rather use it to create systems for the mentioned items and beyond. Now that I've the power, I can use it for creating far more sinister systems with the help of an unlimited intelligence and beyond. I am god now. As simple as it sounds and as the AI systems evolve with more intelligence, more coverage, more tools, the easier my job is going to be. Isn't it unfair to see why such usage might go unchecked or even looked at? I've everything available inside my premises and no one (not even the creator will know what I'm using it for!) will get to know how and what for I'll using the systems for. While one might say it is applicable for any AI system and can argue against it, it is applicable for open source systems as well where one can remove the guardrails and use all the knowledge and intelligence that is available inside it.
Yep. Stating Github and providing a non existent Github link is a serious redflag which brings trust issues.
Either provide the Github (for whatever reasons) or remove the link from your website. I am assuming it is closed source.
Personally I don't trust new VPN solutions without published source code!
Alternatives: Tailscale with Headscale or better Self-hosted Netbird if one is a itty-bitty IT savvy.
Netbird (self-hosted) offers a lot lot more with the self-hosted solution.
- SSO
- Independent networks
- Superb policies / ACLs
- Keybased onboarding
- auto-expiration and a lot more like integrations and what not!
Tough to beat the Netbird Open source offering if one tends to spent a little time and effort (though not everyone's cup of coffee!)
Such can look at tailscale's offering since the free version of Tailscale offers more than what is offered here and all the client applications are open source and constantly updated.
If pricing is going to the only difference, (at a high level, everything under the hood looks similar - wireguard based, zero config, p2p mesh, port forwarding etc etc.,) bring a lot more trust by offering an open source version like others.
I would suggest to add some money into the account if you are not going to monitor the emails. I have a lot of domains with Namecheap and I've always for plenty of reminder mails from them about expiry.
For me, it looks like the problem is between the keyboard and the chair and not otherwise. Fix the emails and avoid future issues. Namecheap has been one of the best domain providers period.
I have had plenty of bad experiences and predatory and opportunistic billing with plenty of others.
I have been dealing with domains since the early network solutions days (I would comfortably say that it my experience is close to 30+ years and Namecheap as a domain provider is at the top of my list!).
