Phare’s new benchmark reveals that leading LLMs confidently produce fabricated information despite sounding authoritative. Their evaluation of models from eight AI labs shows these systems regularly generate completely fabricated details when handling misinformation queries.

How do we build in public without distracting the engineers? Recording our engineering calls and creating content around what we are discussing in real time.

Repurposing meetings to create content. Super proud of our efficiency 😅

This is a great essay on the "AI Horseless Carriage", basically apps using AI stuck in the old way of thinking, making them not very useful.

Something we are purposefully trying to avoid.

AI will shift things in ways many have not yet imagined. #AI #Technology

OMG, the start and end screen of my new video share took me way to long. Moving forward at least it will be much faster, but I still see things I want to change. Dah marketing #buildinpublic

I don't care if you have an open source product. I don't care if you have a product that is part of the fediverse. If you are toxic at the top, you will be toxic in these products too.

Meta is a nasty company. 🤢 They will do anything to get ahead. #AI #opensource

Even with this geopolitical climate, I'm genuinely excited about Europe's future.

Europeans are recognizing the risks of outside dependency and investing locally with sites like european-alternatives.eu popping up. This presents tremendous opportunities for our tech ecosystem. #EU #Tech

We help you find European alternatives for digital service and products, like cloud services and SaaS products.

The 3 marketing questions that matter:

Who exactly are we helping?
What specific problem are we solving?
Why should they trust us over alternatives?

If your team can't answer these in 15 seconds, you're wasting your marketing budget.

New life escape room challenge. My frame that I’ve had for years decided the software is expired. And the company has disappeared. Time to experiment with some open source frame software 🤓 #wannabedev #hackinpublic

Today on the International Transgender Day of Visibility I celebrate all trans people and wish that they could all just exist, live and love as themselves.

Trans rights are human rights.

Was not able to set up Caddy and set up the forwarding, but got the basic @jellyfin.bsky.social running. If anybody can help with the port forwarding/custom domain with Caddy, I'm all ears. But I'll take this as a win in the meantime! #homeserver #opensource #wannabedev #caddy

My fun project tonight - setting up my Fujitsu Esprimo home server so I can run JellyFin and my kiddo can finally get all Pokemon episodes she wants on her tablet.

I did my first pull request for our product @pixlie.com. True, it was just changing a link. But still, just the beginning and made me soo happy. #buildinpublic #wannabecoder

Excited to see the finals of the no make up portrait project I participated in. My friend Anna Meurer does amazing work. Never felt more comfortable in a photoshoot. Will probably never wear makeup again in a photoshoot 😅 #photography #portrait #nomakeup
