My stillness and silence at times, isn't me stepping back, it's me making a way to step forward.

The number one thing you can do for yourself in this day and age, is understand, if not become, that one person that understands models and use cases. ChatGPT is a great place to start but it's rarely where you should end. #ai #diy #learning #changing #chatgpt

I deleted Facebook. HOWEVER, I found facebook still is pushing traffic in and out of my PC. Some type of rendering or index services. I blocked it but point is, if you want to truly get away from Facebook you need to reformat your PC/MAC and block them in your firewall. Shady AF should be illegal.

I don't get all the love for Notebook LLM, I don't find it that useful. I would much rather create a RAG even on ChatGPT. I find Notebook LLM to be repetitive in its format and not the throughout I can honestly say after testing it for a month, I think its dog water. #tech #ai #technews #google

screenshot of an email newsletter from Bloomberg.com that prominently features a cartoon drawing of a haggard looking Elon Musk punching himself in the face. in bold text: "Elon Musk's empire is creaking under the strain of Elon Musk". below, in regular type: " Musk started his stint in the second Trump administration as close to the top of the world as any centibillionaire can be. He appointed himself head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, taunted civil servants and cut funding to food banks. In March he attended a Cabinet meeting wearing a hat that proclaimed, “Trump was right about everything!” The enthusiasm pleased Trump, but Musk’s grandstanding also cost him dearly. Musk entered politics as a widely admired businessman. A year later, polls show him with a net favorability of around -20%. Some Tesla owners have slapped anti-Musk bumper stickers on their electric cars. In its most recent quarter, Tesla reported that it delivered 13% fewer vehicles than it did a year ago. And Tesla’s stock is down more than 30% since reaching a high after the election."

Lot's of folks dream of a big house, a mansion, pretty yard, pool, and sick ride in the garage. Me, I just want a barn, a horse, and to be at the end of a dusty road. My goals will never leave me, one day I will get my barn, beat up, battered, just like me. #goals #love #hope #dream

Windows and Linux on a handheld? Yup. Really digging the HackberryPi CM5. The community is absolute dog water with a gaggle of elitest ass hats trying to control so be prepared esp if a noob. Vicious horrible group of people. But as always noob or not I am happy to help. #raspberrypi #linux #tech

I help folks every day, I pride myself on it. But I think people need to be careful to not mistake my KINDNESS for WEAKNESS. I don't like when I turn, but when I do, I am the LION. I am not perfect, but I am persistent and relentless. #tech #youtube #timetoeat

Just got the #hackberrypi CM5 and it's great reminder of old blackberry days physically. However the community is one of the worst Linux ass hat collectives I've seen. Beware, good product, horrible community and absent dev. #raspberrypi #linux #technology
