Meanwhile we will be charging $5 a month, plus a battlepass, plus the initial $100 pricetag, plus DLCs that are required for the story to make any sense, plus...

Whenever someone wants to ban something, you know there's probably something worth learning about inside. I don't care if it's Russia, America, Christians, anyone.
Correct. It would only be for government officials, so anyone federated with them would know that they are in fact, validated as the government official.
Well, guess I don't have one then
I think it's perfect for governments. You can subscribe anywhere, you know it's legit, and that's a much better way to do notifications than twitter.
I'm pretty sure I have a yahoo account rolling around somewhere...
It's not.... it's the fediverse. I'm completely fine with them having their own instance, it's not like they control it by any means. Hell they can be defederated. It's a lot better than them choosing some random instance.
I mean there should be a mastodon.gov.uk
about time...
Start pushing for mastodon! Honestly there should be an official mastodon instance
yeah it is, also a west coast engineer, but there's also nuance. There's definitely a difference between HR telling you the corporate policies and then there's going to your VP and telling them their pet product may have ethical ramifications. There's a lot of rug sweeping if a project is important.
Okay so I had a meltdown last year. I was staring down a startup that was circling the drain, I knew my time there was limited, and I was being bombarded daily with layoffs and friends not being able to find work, while hearing constantly that I was going to be left behind due to AI. (of course the layoffs were happening because tech CEOs heard AI and started frothing at the idea of getting rid of some of their most expensive staff)
So, I took it on myself to learn AI. I figured well, if it's coming for my job I might as well learn how it works. And oh lorde, did I learn a lot. To the point where I'm running several LLMs now at home, I have them running in k3s, across multiple servers, and have built several apps to interact with them. I've trained finetuned LLMs, I've played with image generation, voices, I dove headfirst in. Eventually I did lose that job, and that gave me a couple months to focus even more before finding my current one.
My biggest learnings, which I'm sure many of you know:
if(nsfw) dont()
. You have to spend a lot of time forcing the LLM to not give weight to the users course, and it's to the point that it hardly seems worth it.while
loop.There's more but this is too long already. It's neat, it's useful, but the hype was just as intense as blockchain. We're going to see some real great usages out of it, like integration with something like Word or a browser to summarize things is honestly a good idea. But there are so so so many pitfalls.
For coding? I think it's a great place to get started, or to get an idea. I would never trust it in production. It will take a very long time for us to get to the point where you can say "Go build this feature" and I would blindly trust what it generated.
