Granite4.1 and Nemotron Mini are good enough for chatting, advanced reasoning, cohesive responses, etc
But they're not quite at the "writing code by itself" phase yet. It needs a lot of help
I want to try mixed cpu/gpu and a larger model to see if it will help, but I'm not sure i care enough to spend the time doing that
For now, granite is good enough, licensed properly, and fast
Nemotron is the thinking style model I can put up with

Really happy that #Guix is starting a GCD on this. And it is one of the best stances I've seen in the fight against LLMs & GenAI.

Stand Up for Human Crafting!

It's even worth. The negative impact are hard to imagine. A very strong opposition to AI is now vital.

Bald kommen davon auch Sticker 😄.

Beautiful piece of artwork being hand created in this video. Preaching to the choir on this platform, but worth giving the creator some interaction.

I got in an argument with over Gen Ai. Most people are against Ai slop in some levels at least. but they continue to defend two core arguments:

-Ai art is good at idea stage of something, as long as human does the final thing-

-Ai writing is is acceptable tool to shorten your work as long as you are checking it-

I can point out problems in both of these, and i will later here.

Have you encountered these two points? How did you respond?

This is a must read. "Remember that an AI girlfriend responding to your loneliness might just be a man in a Nairobi slum, wondering if he'll ever feel real love again"

The Emotional Labor Behind AI Intimacy, by Michael Geoffrey Asia.

Imagine confiding your most private fantasies to what you believe is an unfeeling algorithm that cannot judge or remember. Now imagine that on the other side of that conversation is a man sitting in a one-room home in Nairobi, working through the night while his wife and children sleep. That man is Michael, and this is his story.

This book is SO good I am taking notes.

This is an interesting read about the under-representation of specific languages/cultures in the datasets. We all know the training datasets are biased, but I had not considered quite how they exacerbate the marginalisation of local knowledge. :(

What AI doesn’t know: we could be creating a global ‘knowledge collapse’

The long read: As GenAI becomes the primary way to find information, local and traditional wisdom is being lost. And we are only beginning to realise what we’re missing

I'm SO cross that North Wales has been declared an AI growth zone. Who asked? Am assuming it just means is they are going to build a bunch of data centres here. As if I didn't hate AI enough. Hopefully there will be protests against their construction, which I will definitely join. #AgainstAI #GogleddCymru #NorthWales
