Nvidia reported to have been forced from the Chinese market, $5bn deal with Intel suggests that Nvidia is not that concerned as it takes roughly 4% ownership of its competitor.
Reports claim that China’s move comes from increased domestic alternatives such as Huawei’s Ascend 910C and CloudMatrix 384 which already out perform Nvidia’s H20 chip.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all the buzz, companies developing AI would have you believe that we can no longer live without AI to live day to day lives. Promising better communications, improved productivity and an overall happier life. OK, so maybe the last one is stretching it a little.
While I try to avoid giving personal information to AI as much as possible, this is getting increasingly harder to do when apps are requesting access information in the guise of giving you ‘better service’.
Increasingly AI is being used to flood the internet with what has been coined AI Slop. From deep fakes through to images of people with a spare hand attached somewhere it shouldn’t through to AI generated videos filling YouTube with even more noise making it harder to find original human made content.

After much deliberation, I have decided it best to split the primary / podcast website from the BBS.
Primarily this is due to not wanting to reinvent the wheel as far as the Podcast goes, I’ve used PowerPress since 2006 which does require WordPress. I thought about building out the podcast feed module on Synchronet to bring it up to Podcast 2.0 specifications, but there is much more behind the scenes that would make that more work than I could justify at this time.
This will also allow the creation of my overall plan to come to fruition a little easier too. The BBS will continue to run, but as a supplementary service to the primary mission of the website.
You can still access the BBS via https from the main menu. The main media/podcast will launch in the coming weeks.
