The distros should just opt against working in CA. Once silicon valley gets hit with an order to stop using Linux I fucking guarantee the legislation will silently disappear.

Yeah, I hear you. Tech isn't fun anymore. Treat it like a job and focus on your free time, it's all we can really do.

I picked up archery and woodwork this year as a way to get away from my computer. Highly recommend finding a couple of hobies that you can switch between when that urge to get back to the screen kicks in.

The bill…bans universities from turning down speakers if their speech is deemed controversial or cancelling a speaker based on student backlash…

From the people who brought you “you can’t force them to make a cake”.

Well, this was exactly the answer I expected but I’m still disappointed.

I feel like I’m in a niche position where I want the technology to deliver on promises made (not inherently anti-AI) but even if they did I would still refuse to use them until the ethical and moral issues get solved in their creation and use (definitely anti-cramming-LLMs-into-every-facet-of-our-lives).

I miss being excited about machine learning, but LLMs being the whole topic now is so disappointing. Give us back domain specific, bespoke ML applications.

Listen, this is going to sound like a loaded inflammatory question and I don’t really know how to fix that over text, but you say you’re in the space and I’m genuinely curious as to your take on this:

Do you think it’s possible to build LLM technology in a way that:

  1. Respects copyright and ip,
  2. Doesn’t fuck up the economy and eat all the ram,
  3. Doesn’t drink all the water and subject people to Datacenter hell, and
  4. is consistently accurate and has enough data to be useful?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have a pixel phone being shipped to me now, can’t wait to post one of these too.

Terrible. They are terrible today. The last game pair they put out was an absolute joke in every regard.

I recommend never giving them another penny.

Nosey botch indeed.

Such a fragile little snowflake.
