This absolutely matches my experience - brilliant results are possible when given a lot of context and constraints. And this is where the opportunity for education lies.
A good approach to the use of LLMs, it works for coding, as for writing.

It's always nice to be cited and see that my work is used by others. Simultaneously - why, oh why, are they citing the 2010 version of my SPP framework in 2024 when I have spend 14 to develop it further, also in collaboration with scholars such as Christian Roth, Mirjam Eladhari and Anca Serbanescu?

I'm running Deepseek R1 on my MacBook Pro and I'm still flabbergasted how easy it was to install and how well it runs given that I use a pretty small version (9 GB).
And yes, the local version does not have censorship of Chinese political topics.

Sad news from a great game studio. I hope they manage to continue in some way
The folks at DGF are some of the kindest and most talented I know. Having worked with them, I can give the most enthusiastic endorsement as first-rate coworkers. I'm heartbroken that they have to halt production, and hope everyone lands on their feet soon.
We’re sad to share that we're halting production at Die Gute Fabrik due to the challenging funding & investment scene in games right now. We downed tools earlier this month & have been doing our best to support the team who'll be looking for work from mid-March. Full statement:
