He wants us to cover this stuff. This is intentional flooding the zone. Please clear your timeliness of his words and focus on tangible actions. His admin just had a Thursday night massacre that is under reported because of distractions like this.

We need to start ignoring what he says. Like yesterday. This is how he controls the news cycle. Treat the pres like you with trolls here: block and move on. We should only be focusing on actions. Actions can't be waved away as easily. They have lasting impact. Focus on the FAA cuts/freezes.

Reminder: Don’t. Use. ChatGPT. As. A. Calculator. Seriously. Loved listening to @sashamtl.bsky.social on Hard Fork with @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social—it really made me think. 🧵

Did anyone really want this? Trump and his followers are such a joke

They are laughing all the way to every corner of power in the country, unfortunately.

Thank you to Redhawk Coffee for supporting the homeless homies and our neighbors leaving the jail! @man-eternally.bsky.social

Tbh most of this is probably just the specifics of OpenAI RLHF "house style" but the dominant feature of LLM generated text is extremely low informational content per word and that really annoys me

One of my favorite feeds! Just waiting for my turn to be added to the contributor list!

I think there's a more boring answer. Context lengths dont do as much as people like to think. A good RAG + LLM better recall than one with a huge context length for understanding a subject. Having it create an outline and build in parts is the way to do it rather than spit it out in one response.

In tech I'll be saying "promoting code to open source" I love it.

Happy New Year, everyone! Let's get after it, 2025

The Biggest #AI Flops of 2024 From #chatbots dishing out illegal advice to dodgy #GenAI search results, take a look back over the year’s biggest AI failures. www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/31/1... #ArtificialIntelligence #regulations #intellectualproperty #technology #health #democracy #humanity

I often explain to people that are new in tech the level of care that went into mitigating damage from #y2k. By the way, there's a funny little issue called the 2038 problem that we have to worry about soon. Maybe we'll keep the lessons we learned

" #AI is useless" Use it. Ask bing copilot or gpt to help craft a recipe with what's in your fridge. If you want to add something, ask it follow ups. Dietary restriction? Have it help work around it. Try huggingface chat to see open-source in action if you hate openai and microsoft #everydayAI

This. Or delete all your posts, unfollow, lock down your account and leave it like a graveyard of empty @'s

Diving into voice generation tonight a bit. I think I can make some goofy characters to "call" My kids with personalized messages. The open source tools developed so far are incredible. #TTS #opensource #AI

You should learn about #AI. Especially if you hate it. It seems like a trend because companies are slapping it on everything, but in some form or another, generative technology is here to stay and will affect your industry. Don't be caught flat footed because you don't want to understand it.

Finally got around to deleting all my posts from the other site. Locked down account and removed all my followers and following. Feels good to shed it, feels better seeing the vibes here every day

It's amazing what you can do even with a laptop now. #Ollama and #OpenWebUI have really made having a private local #LLM not just possible, but easy to get up and running. The open source community around generative models is truly incredible and kinda slept on #AI #ML

Lot of posts about libraries in my feed. Have to say.. I love it. Take your kids, get them a card, teach them about borrowing books. Use their services, online books, meeting spaces. It's one of the most important institutions we have.

I don't know that I've ever heard a better idea than bagels.

I can't second the hoopla app enough. It's a crazy resource that you get just for registering at your local library. Most of the time you can do this all online.

It's beans and greens weather

Buzz in AI has truly ruined the magic of it. In people's desperate attempt to sell it, they've come up with useless marketing phrases. It's baffling seeing how you can underhype an amazing technology by overhyping the wrong parts in the wrong ways.

I love that this is a thing. Free resource projects are such a good way to learn

For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol. 🧵>>
