<p>WYSIWYG, huh? I'm certainly not against the idea, and the editor seems to work well enough (given the 3 minutes I spent on the landing page).<p>I'm not so sure why it needs an LLM in-between the source files and the editor though...</p>

<p>Note: de jure, not de facto.<p>I'm pretty sure most news outlets would cave with the right pressure, with or without any new laws. On top of that is the fact that the department for foreign affairs is the department where the line between ministry and department is the thinest* - I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if, in such a scenario they'd be asked, especially by the US, to put a stop to something, they'd actually put (unofficial, undocumented) pressure on the entity or person in question.<p>* As opposed to most democracies ministerial rule is highly frowned upon in Sweden, and as a minister you can't issue official decrees that govern how the department itself interpret laws or conduct its business. Instead you (e.g. the parliament) change laws and society act accordingly.</p>

<p>Most people don't treat their line setting as holy scripture. Besides, nobody stops you from putting your actions on a sliding scale.<p>Did your good friend not repay his loan? Okay, what's the size of the loan, and how did they react when you reminded them? What's the circumstances surrounding the loan itself - did they borrow for the down payment of a mansion, or did they borrow to buy cheese?<p>Also, if you're treating your life as a game theory set piece then perhaps that's a place where you should start making changes. Just sayin'.</p>

<p>I opened the comment section expecting to find a slew (a slop?) of LLM enthusiasts. I was not disappointed.<p>Whether you're a fanatical or not, of either side, LLM usage <i>is</i> driving energy and hardware prices to go up, it <i>is</i> an implicit driver of climate change, and it <i>will</i> replace jobs. I don't see what there's to argue.<p>Great article through and through.</p>

<p>Frankly I didn't "build" anything. It was mostly just a case of setting up the docker scripts, make sure the volumes have proper permissions and the configuration is sane. The configuration though, I'll take all the credit in the world for wading through, haha. These are not software with opinions included.</p>

<p>I'm using Element Synapse with the Mautrix bridges. They're all a pain to setup, with a ton of required configuration options each, but once setup, it's mostly transparent where any one chat originates. Reactions, emojis, media, it all just works.<p>The downside, of course, is that voice and video will not work.<p>Oh, and perhaps a ton of initial invitations, one for every conversation you have open.<p>There are open servers you can join, with the bridges enabled, but of course, that kind of defeats the purpose. At that point you might as well use a commercial, closed-source offering, as, ironically, a corporation with a large footprint you can sue. Average Joe with an AWS instance you might not be able to track down, should your data leak.<p><a href="https://github.com/element-hq/synapse" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/element-hq/synapse</a><p><a href="https://github.com/mautrix/meta" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mautrix/meta</a></p>

<p>While I experience a very disturbing nausea, with just a healthy bit of existential dread, whenever I read whatever these AI Bros(TM) manage to... ahem, "sculpt", you actually managed to write something not immediately recognizeable as slop. Kudos.<p>Points deducted for the wholly unnecessary image. Text can, after all, stand on its own.<p>You are, however, strongly influenced by the writings of the tool covered by your musings. Might I suggest to perhaps not indulge in such excessive hyphenation?</p>

<p>While not a commercial offering, which is what this is saying in reality - closed source, commercial alternative with (limited) interoperability, I've been running my own chat server for a while now with (limited) interoperability with both Whatsapp and Messenger.<p>I suspect a good number of people here don't care for any of this - FOSS, chat, <i>voice</i>, and <i>video</i> is where it's at. Interoperability for those last two don't exist yet AFAIK, and they're truly game-changers. Will that change? Does the DMA mention anything other than chat? Perhaps someone could enlighten me.</p>

<p>Ding ding ding!<p>Reading, and to some extent editing, is not an active task. In order to become better, at anything, you need to actively do the thing. If you're prompting LLM's, and using whatever they produce, all you'll see any improvement in is... prompting.</p>

<p>I'm not sure how to begin to describe the feeling of reading an analytical take on working as an escort. Weird.<p>Side note: Every single AMA/QA with a prostitute I've seen I've posted a question I'm anxious to know the answer to, but my question has consistently not received any reply. In essence; Every single job I've ever had has left me with a little bit of muscle memory - a key combination here, a routine there. When working as a prostitute, what are the small little things you're left with that might stay with you for quite a bit after your... career has moved on?<p>Alas, I suspect there's no easy answer to it, considering, well...</p>

<p>I used to live in Gdansk, and later Gdynia, and let me tell you - as soon as it's cold outside, people burn all kinds of shit at home, the air's so thick you can practically cut it with a knife. We theorized that the smog's mainly from residential burning of coal, but of course who know's what's in the stove.<p>All I know, is that it smells really unhealthy, and the smoke coming out of houses is a deep, black colour, almost like oil.</p>
