  10. Recent advancements in AI, especially in generative AI and explainable AI, are truly transformative. Generative models like large language models (LLMs) and image generators (e.g., GPT-4, DALL-E 3) have made incredible strides in producing human-like text, stunning visuals, and even code, pushing the boundaries of automated content creation. Simultaneously, explainable AI (XAI) tools are evolving to provide much-needed transparency into these complex "black box" models, offering insights into their decision-making processes through techniques like SHAP and LIME. This dual progression is crucial for building trust and ensuring responsible AI deployment. But how are these a…

  22. I recently got an idea for a new community, I decided to pick MyBB for this community but I think it's a bit outdated by 2025 terms. So I'm wanting to switch platforms but I'm not sure exactly which platform I want to switch to. If I had the money, I would pick Invision but I can't afford it. I also don't want to purchase another VPS account to host a NodeBB or Discourse instance. So I'd like to hear some feedback from people here on which platform I should switch to! I'm thinking about either vBulletin perhaps or Xenforo? vBulletin is cheaper and comes with a lot more features than Xenforo does out of the box. Plus I feel Xenforo as of late has been lacking with updates.…

  23. Hey everyone! 👋 So I was browsing around this morning and stumbled across something that made me pause and think. Invision Community (you know, the forum software) just posted that they're slowing down their development releases. Now normally, when a platform says "we're slowing down," that's usually code for "we're dying" or "we ran out of money." But this actually feels... different? Here's what caught my attention: They were doing weekly releases since their v5 launch - which sounds awesome in theory, right? New features every week! But they basically said "okay, we're stable now, let's actually think about what we're building instead of just shipping stuff." And …

  24. Do you believe that one day Peertube can truly rival Youtube? I personally can't see it happening soon, which is a shame really. Youtube has really been going downhill more and more as the years go on ever since Google bought them. I think more and more people would benefit if they can install their own instance of Peertube and be in control of every aspect of their video audience. However since we live in a time where people tend to stick to what they know and don't really branch out, I don't think Peertube will be as popular as Youtube. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!
