because AI is more than 3 American companies. even if they self-regulate, China, Russia or North Korea never will.. so you have to factor in the geopolitical situation as well

Let's be real - if OpenAI and Anthropic did not accelerate the scaling and monetization of LLMs as fast as they possibly could from 2019 to 2024, it would be many, many years until China/Russia/North Korea spontaneously launched an LLM revolution.

In almost every technical industry, China is extremely good at fast-copying and relatively mediocre at solving problems that haven't even been posed yet.

It’s past that point. China would take the lead in three months.

Even if they were 95% as good, but 30% of the price, they would win

i believe the maintainers stance is that jellyfin should not be exposed and it should always be behind a vpn

not necessarily always a VPN, but you can also use a reverse proxy like caddy or nginx where encryption and security are primary concerns instead of something non-essential like in jellyfin.

I doubt that, how would that work? You would need to give all your friends a VPN login into your local network for all of their devices, including TVs.

Tailscale. Your friend just needs to be invited to your tailnet. Super easy to use with clients on all the major devices.

Even on TV? Without their other traffic is going through network? Also for non technical people?

Yes, I have Tailscale on my AppleTV. Only traffic attempting to reach your tailnet is routed to you, the rest is on his own network.

If you want to make it super easy for non technical people also use reverse proxies to your tailnet so jellyfin/plex is reachable at like “https://watch.example.com”. Pretty much the only friction for non technical people would be creating a tailscale account and being invited to tailnet I guess. But you could also just do that for them I suppose with auth keys

or your friend can setup VPN on his Router box.

But then all of his traffic goes through my internet. Unless he has a special high end router that can only route specific domains.

You dont need high end box, a old mini pc running pfsense/opnsense is enough.

High end, as in feature rich.

If you think most non tech people can just casually find an old pc, install and setup pfsense, then you are out of touch with reality. And they also would have to let it run all the time and have space for it. That's just not something realistic. It's not an option for my friends. Might also break chromecast.

Most non tech people just subcribe to netflix/hbo/disney and call it a day.

Correct, most do. Still leaves a significant portion that does not want to sub to multiple streaming services. Be that as it may, I have multiple friends who I share my jellyfin with. Giving them all access to my network is just not an option. It's not.

Reverse proxy works fine. There’s even a setting in Jellyfin to provide the proxy IP.

Their stance is actually that exposing it is fine

Frankly at this point, everything that is not explicitly fully public should be...

Unfortunately, yeah.

isn't this exactly what the LGTM stack is?

agreed. creatives themselves have nothing to worry about because AI generated novels are a very poor imitation of one crafted by humans.

the issue is the review processes from publishers cant scale

I don't think that is right. There is always a commercial and non commercial duality to art. Artists need money. Many artists hone their craft and make their money by producing commercial products, corporate music or web ads or whatever. I think your prediction is naive; this will take a huge, irreversible toll on art.
