I will study these. Thank you!

I’m not the OP, but I’m trying to figure out if local models are always painfully slow or if I’m missing something obvious in my tuning.

Stable Diffusion can whip up a picture in less time on the same hardware, than lama.cpp takes to decide to call an MCP function.

It seems like I must be missing something in my lama.cpp setup, but none of the guides I’ve read have clued me in to what I’ve done wrong.

Ollama performs similarly poorly on the same harsware, so I’ve probably managed to make the se mistake(s) at least twice.

Anyway, that’s the main thing I’m reading along for. Trying to increase my understanding until I catch my own mistakes.

They need to give Catherine Tate a spinoff show that’s just her trying to date anything or anyone in London that doesn’t turn out to be an alien.

Says everything I need to know about the change.

All the joy of Steam, pumped directly into my eyeballs? Yes, please.

common: a technology that can be useful in some very specific niches, but is advertised as a solution to all problems in the world and

It is disappointing that, of the three, only NFTs fulfilled the promise and have solved literally every problem*.

Will posting about AI cost us clients?

Maybe.

The respect of our peers?

Absolutely.

For better or worse, there’s more idiots thoughtlessly adopting AI today, than engineers carefully working with it.

Also, it’s not a coincidence that the very best of the best have less use for AI.

AI provides access to faster-but-worse solutions for folks who lacked access before.

That former lack of access can be for many different reaaons, but inexperience is perceived as the most common.

So, whether fair or not, talking about use of AI signals:

1. Willingness to try new things.
2. Disregard to the harm done to the original creators whose work is being ripped off.
3. Disregard for the harm being done to the planet.

and

4. Inexperience with computers.

Edit: My source is that I, myself, work with AI and frequently must talk about it professionally - often in nuanced ways to un-receptive audiences.

So I try to stay aware of how it is impacting my professional image. The above is from my experiences.

Indeed! The old magiks were good enough. Thye young ones today could do well to learn some lines of command!

You put your hands on your hips!

A dozen, a hundred…? It’s impossible to resist.

I don’t understand what this is, but I enjoyed it.

“Rise of the Tomb Raider” might scratch that itch. It has great atmosphere, there’s no base building, and the collectibles are all optional (but thematically appropriate, as they’re all lost artifacts, and naturally Lara is inclined to "recover"them.)

yoCcM has other problems, beyond Kirk’s self conscious fears.

Yea. Slightly modified - “If conditions are now so prefect now that 8 billion humans can ask their computer nicely to program itself, and it works, then why is non-shit-tier software still vanishingly rare?”

Too much risk of fireball ear.

It’s fair game after getting legally married, though.

Not my living room. Nice try, fuckers.

Why does it cost so much to engineer new models?

We need at least two massive quantum leaps in quality before this stuff can be long-term profitable; and there probably simply aren’t two quantum leaps left in the current pathways being explored.

But turning off all the bots, contracts, and lies would cause the investment money to stop immediately, rather than later.

Everyone perpetrating this scam wants to cash out a tiny bit more before it crashes.

Right. But Fermi’s Paradox applies.

Everyone is buying and selling software miracle cure…but all of the software itself is still exaclty as healthy as a con artists prize race horse (not healthy, and actually a mule).
