       @misty yes, the folks at hachyderm.io did this recently.  There's an nginx trick for moving to object storage.  @hazelweakly may have better info

       @simon guessing: it's large, hasn't changed in forever, and contains a whole pile of links to opencontext.org that might have caused some reflected load problem there.No idea why it's the only one like that though

       A lot has been said on the limitations, failings, or general characteristics of ChatGPT and similar LLMs.But somewhere in the back of my small fleshy language model, the word "technobabble" wandered, in search of something to connect with. And today it did.Technobabble is the official term for that part of SF film and tv where the script needs some plausible-sounding dramatic feat for the hero to pull off a plot/engineering miracle. Stuff like "reverse the polarity of the Neutron flow". Trek, in particular, is famous for early-stage scripts with annotations like <insert technobabble here>. Stuff with no real factual meaning, that doesn't stand up to any particular scrutiny, but which sounds plausible — and where the audience chooses to play along.We have built a General Purpose Technobabble machine. And a lot of people are playing along with the nonsense it spouts.Also, support the writers' strike.
