“AI” is a pretty bad blanket term. BirdNet / Merlin is a model trained specifically on bird calls (and some noises) built to recognize bird calls. App and logo use huge general-purpose models to create content of questionable quality.
And yes, a decent birder should never trust just Merlin ID.
Just a fair warning: Element (Matrix client) also had issues with notifications not appearing in time, or attachments/images not loading. (This is on a self-hosted Synapse with a handful of people and 1 bridge).
I haven’t kept up much with new developments, but last I remember, hosting the official Element Server Suite Community requires Kubernetes. Third-party servers or some install scripts are an option though.
I used porkbun, and never had to upload an ID (but I am in USA). IIRC still need to provide an address, but they mask WHOIS.
Article uses the “akshually humans are just complex learning machines” pro-AI argument:
The competence a human needs to oversee an AI system is not a fixed asset. It is built and kept alive through practice – the same practice the AI system is now doing instead of the human.
Keep scrolling.
I usually see the opposite (on reddit of course):
“I want to run Kali on my phone, plz help”.
“I am a Linux noob and went with Arch because I heard all the cool kids use it, now something bork”.
“Which distro???” (same question was last asked 4 hours ago)
