Its a decentralized AI bot based on volunteer computing and decentralized, federated learning.
You can find it under: @myceliumweb@techhub.social. It will recommend songs when you post under #babyfungus. You can also insert your own songs. Happy home-grown ai!
Sounds awfully similar to a botnet. I hope the compute is sourced ethically.
Oh, surely you can trust internet strangers putting random stuff online to do the right thing.
Well, its similar to a botnet, but one that is open and transparent. You can browse the different nodes, etc. And you can (at least hopefully in the future) add your own computing resources to the network to participate in the AI training.
Its a bit like a more sensible version of bitcoin: instead of waisting energy for the proof of work, its training a shared AI model.
(Its running on a Hetzner server.)
