Gippity suggests the only word that starts with “febu” is febuxostat.

No more secrets.

They’re just setting up a locally run ChatGPT for the US National Laboratories to use. Much like all the software we already use, it’s probably airgapped from launch systems.

Is this the list from Hitchhiker’s Guide?

Eh, “Global Warming” is fine. Texas isn’t the globe. I’ve come to believe the whole “If we explain it differently, maybe it’ll convince them” approach is largely a waste of energy.

Would you like a alcohol?

Eh, I’ve made a decent living making commercials and corpo stuff. But not for lack of trying to get paid for art. For all the money I made working on ~50 short films and a handful of features, I could maybe buy dinner. Just like in the music industry, distributors pocket most of the profit.

In film school (25 years ago), there was a lot of discussion around whether or not commerce was antithetical to art. I think it’s pretty clear now that it is. As commercial media leans more on AI, I hope the silver lining will be a modern Renaissance of art as (meaningful but unprofitable) creative expression.

I really wish this aspect was considered more often in pop sci discussions.

I’d like to take the stance that: If you can’t manage your own data, don’t start a business. But that seems like a shaky foundation to plant a flag, so I will instead say, “I hate Oracle.”

I kinda assumed Vimeo would step up its social aspects when YouTube started ratcheting up its bullshit. Still waiting.

I’ll try it out! It’s been a hot minute, and it seems like there are new options all the time.

Yeah, I’ve had decent results running the 7B/8B models, particularly the fine tuned ones for specific use cases. But as ya mentioned, they’re only really good in thier scope for a single prompt or maybe a few follow-ups. I’ve seen little improvement with the 13B/14B models and find them mostly not worth the performance hit.

I like how they didn’t even bother to match the cartoon and toy versions like at all.

When we were young, the future was so bright. The old neighborhood was so alive, and every kid on the whole damn street was gonna make it big and not be beat.

Oh. I guess they could take the sky from me.

Premium Lite is hilarious branding. “Oh, it’s high quality, but like, less. Quality Lite”
