  • 2 new AI-related DOVE-Net conferences

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Mon Sep 21 12:29:32 2026
    2023 - AI Discussion
    2024 - AI Playground (post your AI slop/noise here, if you insist)

    DOVE-Net nodes (BBSes) are *not* required to carry these conferences, so if the sysop is morally opposed to all AI discussion and/or use/experimentation, they may choose not to carry one or both conferences. Also, since the equivalent sub-boards aren't in the pre-existing stock/default Synchronet configuration (yet), no DOVE-Net nodes will have them in their configuration to begin with.

    That said, I hope the new "safe spaces" to discuss/use (generative) AI will be appreciated by some.

    Some people don't want to hear/read about AI - they're "safe" from it by not carrying or reading that sub. That's what I mean by "safe space". Sorry to have triggered you; I hope you get can the help you need. :-P

    :) Sometimes it happens sooner too, depending on things.

    Also, I think health & wellness could include mental health as well as physical health, and mental health issues (such as anxiety & depression) could affect people of any age.

    Absolutely. I didn't mean to exclude any congential/childhood/life-long ailment /discussions. It's just now, in my life, it's become more of a discussion point, for better or worse, and it occurred to me it probably is (or has been) for many other BBS users too, so there should be a discussion conference for that.

    Originally, DOVE-Net was kind of the "anti-FidoNet" and part of that meant doing almost everything differently - e.g. where FidoNet had hundreds of echoes, we just had a dozen or so. Now it's a couple dozen. :-)
