it's honestly really good. Big fan of that team, they are really practical and have been producing really useful software and sharing all their learnings online.


the best part about this is that you can just change the extension. like you are actually allowed to. whereas the extension experience on vscode would require a reload, and on cursor is not possible


Did you know that AUTOMATIC1111 got strapped off of 4chan?

Go to 4chan right now, and poke around their technology and video game boards. There's so much chatter about LLaMa. The last time I saw that much chatter about a technology was when eth was 3 dollars a coin. The communities exist, the general public just isn't aware of them.


i don't, but it all seems to work out anyways


linear algebra done right - sheldon axler


maybe once they allow me to actually own my hardware (let me install whatever software I want (linux))


It's not really Apples job to build a copy of Linux for their hardware. You want it, you build it. There's nothing stopping it running.


I'm sorry how is Apple not allowing you? You are free to run whatever YOU want on it. Just because something YOU want isn't created, well that isn't apple or anyone else's problem. You should build what you need instead of expecting someone else to do it for you just because you demand it.


You're using the term "own" in a non-standard way to make your point.

When you buy a Mac, part of the deal is that it runs macOS. However, you still own the Mac. You can loan it to others or sell it. You can sleep with it under your pillow.

If you don't like the deal, then don't buy it.


Apple does allow this. It’s just the issue of finding software to install.


yeah that's great but we still unlocked tons of productivity

who cares man

just build stuff

if you don't want people to learn off your code just don't share it!


Interestingly, the same companies who made the paid service by analyzing all of that open-source code would never, ever consider open-sourcing the code for that service.

> if you don't want people to learn off your code

"Learn" is a strange verb to use here. No one at Microsoft or OpenAI was scraping all of GitHub so that they could learn. They took people's licensed works, fed it into a very sophisticated copy-paste machine, and started making money off of it.

> just don't share it!

It's almost like licenses and copyright exist to protect the rights of their holders or something.

The entire point of licenses is to be able to share your work in a way that respects your wishes. "Just don't share it" is completely non-productive.


the cost of training is exponentially decreasing. It's only a matter of time before a codex-like model is released to the open.


I am so terrified of the advancements in AI that I've been having trouble sleeping & focusing on work.


Yeah, look up textual inversion


>There's still no AI that can fold laundry

We're actually really close to general robot agents that operate in your home. Check out googleAI's saycan & RT-1 systems

That's gonna be great until someone hacks it and has it stab me to death in my sleep.


Much like my fears about bluetooth connected cars being hacked to crash on the highway, it turns out that - by and large - nobody wants to kill me (or at least, not badly enough to do anything about it).


Ah yes the nobody wants to do it to me excuse. Until you piss off the wrong person and you suddenly crash into the railing and die in an 'accident'.

In a more Orwellian world. It can be used to assassinate dissidents or individuals who speak out against authoritarian regimes. It's just a tool in a box, but it's one that's simple, easy to use, and leaves no evidence.


> leaves no evidence

For a “car crash” I agree.

But if my laundry folding robot stabs me to death in my sleep, I hope that at the very least it raises some eyebrows :^)


But that’s true with or without the AI. Anyone could decide they want to kill you. Most of the time we rely on “not everyone wanting to kill everyone else” to get by.


Oh, Ada Palmer’s ‘Too Like The Lightning’ has this as an element.


I always felt like the HL7 interface is a huge vector for this. Change someone's medicine allergies, blood type, etc.


Truly the most evil hacker is the one that leaves you to live out your life until old age and decrepitude catch up with you.


The thing about black swan events is they never seem likely to happen until they do.


They can't get bluetooth to connect.


just unplug the robot before you go to sleep, an easy solution


More worried about government backdoors.


cars are great until someone deliberately runs into me



No way would I bring some company's robot into my house, especially not one that has anything to do with Google. Maybe it does your laundry and dishes for you, but you can bet that it'll be recording everything that it sees and hears and sending all that data back to the people it actually works for so that they can use that data against you or sell it to someone else who will.

Unless I can find a model I can verify has zero networking ability and isn't gathering and storing data for somebody else, no thanks!
