I put some random thoughts about LLMs and AI on LinkedIn. I didn’t praise them. But I admitted that, as tools, they have a benefit. And as tech/science, I think they’re fundamentally cool.
Mostly, I just don’t love them and have my own, personal issues with them. This is without even diving into ethical concerns.
Folks whom I’ve never met on LinkedIn were very quick to jump in and tell me that they’re wonderful. Why?
Extra odd since I usually get little attention there.
On our way down to PAX East in Boston.
@cazabon Out of curiosity, how much were you thinking?
Edit: and by curiosity, I mean I’d love to get it if I can swing it 😂
@cazabon a4000 + video toaster is the dream 🥺 You’re very lucky to still have yours!
But probably way out of my budget. I was thinking a few hundred. I haven’t seen a4000s that cheap in over 15 years, if ever. Especially bundled with a Toaster, haha.
Long Shot: Does anyone in New England want to sell a reasonably (not eBay) priced #SGI workstation or #Amiga ?
I’ve wanted one for years for nostalgia + experimentation. Should’ve picked one up back when they were affordable, but life was too busy.
I’m a user/collector — not a reseller — if that makes a difference :)
(I live in Central #Maine)
The snow was above these garden beds. Now that it’s melted (temporarily) I can see what needs to be done again and get back to planning homestead projects.
I want to grow more food to offset going freelance. It’s expensive in Maine!
Things I’d love to do this year:
- get a bunch of hemlock boards to build more above-ground garden beds (better in Northern climates)
- get a hoop house (large greenhouse)
- build a farm stand
Going to need to make $$$ or barter.
