@ellent You go to heaven. There is a phone there. You pick it up. Someone with an Indian accent tells you to wait for a Microsoft rep to show up.

ned,

@itnewsbot woah, now I can hear a bot from a muffled 20 year old dusty speaker instead of a pimply teenager. Revolutionary!

Gotterdammerung, to ai

Whassup? Still getting used to this new platform. Also has anyone checked out the latest and greatest LLM, Hugging Chat?

https://huggingface.co/chat/





ned,

@Gotterdammerung HuggingChat is just a wrapper on top of OpenAssistant. It's not gonna match the correctness levels of ChatGPT till it's fine tuned more. Let's wait a bit longer, it's only been out for 3 weeks.

@cassidy@blaede.family avatar

I get that it’s hot right now, but man, the user experience of LLMs being this bot you type text to seems like a huge step backwards compared to just integrating these AI features natively into products.

ned,

@cassidy Google Cloud already has it, but in standard Google fashion, it's only usable by someone at least on the freshman CS level.

Encrypted messaging provider: “We make our money selling this to the police.”

Tech folks: This is cool and normal.

ned,

@carlschwan

@aral It's more true the other way around. Department of Defense is a big contributor to open source. I express my gratitude to the federal employees whose effort into designing and developing software for mandatory access control or mix networks.

Just RTd a bunch of it, but the protocol analysis by @sam is really worth a read.

@sam it's hilarious. it's not even out yet for self-hosting, but hipster soydevs are already shitting on it.

And so it begins in full force.

Today, both Mailchimp and Hootsuite (very popular tools which I happen to use for @thunderbird newsletters and social media) invited me to use to compose Facebook posts, tweets, and emails, respectively.

I won't be using AI tools for writing. But you should know that it's starting to get exponentially more difficult knowing if the content you're absorbing is from a human or from something like .

ned,

@killyourfm My favorite content is from a human who used :)

ned,

@killyourfm

@thunderbird Sure, but it can make something somewhat close to your style. It will output much more/faster than you can, but the quality will be quite different. I edit a lot more than I write, so LLMs are a great tool for me. They're kinda useless for pure writers.

ned,

@killyourfm

@thunderbird if you're a fiction writer, instruction-following LLMs can help you prototype possible dialogs. This is what character.ai is about now.
Perhaps you can set up a character based on your writings? is more like a postal office employee. Too formal for non-technical writing IMO.

This is an interesting thread on AT-protocol, the federation protocol that's intended to allow distributed Bluesky instances. Note: also sweary.

https://urbanists.social/@sam/110339902538138997

ned,

@wjmaggos

@moira That Sam guy seems to be mostly whining about how they didn't choose activitypub. He says AT protocol DIDs are unnecessary, cause there's already username@domain.com that can be used as ID. He's wrong, it's a useful feature similar to keybase, or SSL autorities, or something like Namecoin.
