we enabled some of the @Discourse provided AI features on discuss.elastic.co. the stats are for the last 24 (the weekend is a bit quieter)

feels more about making things more useful than just generating more text:
1. better search with semantic search: that should be an easy win
2. better spam detection: great
3. summarization: not quite sure if that will be as useful — also this output cost 1.9K tokens in total

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

I'm downloading a pirated game after over a decade away from it, and it's so nostalgic. The torrent download, the installer music, the .ru forum with over 500+ pages, .ini editing, etc.
