@datacop @cypherhippie @battlemesh also I guess text messages alone don't need much resources? But what about media? As a user I've had the experience that seemingly from small instances videos would sometimes need a long time to buffer. Is that a pot. issue with the current Mastodon implementation + federalization?
Far in the future, would it make sense if a toot or boost (w. media) would use multicast (maybe via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jholland-quic-multicast/) if the network is capable of it?

Kazuo Ishiguro, one of my favourite writers, on AI:

“I think many of us are concerned about the fact that the copyrights were completely infringed.

Our work was being taken, all my books have been taken to train AI, but if the copyrights can be respected then it can be used in a way that, say, a traditional researcher would use somebody else’s book.

Just because it’s AI, it shouldn’t be an excuse to just raid people’s intellectual property.”
