The feeling I often get when I talk to people about AI is that there is a train coming towards them, and they’re covering their eyes and saying “what train?”
I’m not interested in apologizing for the train, I’m interested in getting them to understand that it’s there

there's a disjuncture too between "open source AI hacker on bluesky" and "big AI company." the former are enthusiasts that have vastly different personalities and lifestyles than the kind of institutionalized personality the latter has
I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful:
All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

You can now use Epsilon to run #WASM code in your #golang applications.
I made some changes, this thing is now much faster and with a more reasonable API, so it's starting to be actually interesting.

I'd be perfectly happy if the next model releases were going to be flat on the benchmarks but even just 5% faster

Gemini in Google Colab is a shining example of how *not* to integrate LLMs into a product.
So much potential. Ruined by terrible design.
Giant diffs where I can't accept/reject on a line-by-line basis.
Unclear what context it has.
Can't ref specific cells.
Can't copy/paste code into chat! Wild

There is this meme on TikTok, "I don't want to be French". This is an attempt to divide Europe, now that Macron has the leadership against the clown-cracies around us. Don't feed the troll: I WANT TO BE FRENCH, a country that, with mine (Italy) shared a lot. We are brothers, and sisters.
