An interesting video by Rick Beato (yeah, the nerdy music theory youtuber ๐Ÿ˜ ) where he compares the future of "AI" to the failure of the music industry in the early 2000's.

He doesn't quite connect all dots, these #LLM's he downloads from #huggingface on his #LocalComputing gear, they are only "free" because somebody is positioning to somehow make a return later on.

But his memory of past disruptions points to how these algos are not a settled business model. Not yet.

How AI Will Fail Like The Music Industry

Welcome back to local computing!
Finally, a machine which is ready for more web applications. Why do optimisation when you have power?

This report from Denmark came across my desk(top) today: https://www.english.digmin.dk/Media/638736628110392217/The%20role%20of%20big%20tech%20as%20digital%20infrastructure.pdf

I wonder when NZ gov't will come to its senses about this, especially given that we're founding members of the Digital Nations Charter (which Denmark subsequently joined): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Nations - note the core principles.

Seems like now might be a good time to be thinking of decolonising our digital infrastructure and restoring our digital sovereignty.

I am an android user. Is there any software on there for making local lists and notes ? What I mean is software that is not storing things in its own cloud resources or straight up pinging the mother ship every minute with unknown packets ?

Local software is what we need. Software that is not syphoning off our data.
