It’s more like rough etching away

The FGC 9, for example, has a barrel that one can electro-chemically machine with 3d printed jigs, wire, salt water, hydraulic pipe, and a 12v battery

Labor unions leverage their labor in negotiations. I’m all for people being armed, but not for those types of negotiations.

I suppose it is a mixture, of both work and coworkers.

I like trying to “perfect my craft”. But also, I like spending time with my coworkers and getting to brainstorm and chat with them.

That being said I am also very fortunate to only have to work 36hrs per week. Pay is less than full time, but it can also just eat out less

Not trying to be sarcastic, but do you not find joy in your work? I’ll ask for more work too when I run out of things to do as well.

I just like electronics and stuff though. And the boring/tedious parts of my job I think it is at least fun to try to automate or streamline them with python or other tools

You guys have free time at work? Kinda curious what you all do?

I am and Electrical Engineer and am usually busy all day. Sometimes I’ll head home a few hours early if i hit my hours for for the week or if I have to “hurry up and wait”

Company is still ran by people though

It’s pretty interesting article. I actually dropped my Chad GPT subscription a few years ago and switched a locally hosting my own Ollama server for like privacy concerns.

I’m still going to continue to use my locally hosted large language models but I don’t know, its interesting to know that chat gpt seems to not care about user data except for training or making money.

I thought it was interesting how the article said that if ChatGPT was a human it would have been charged with murder.

Obviously I don’t think ChatGPT is a human but it does raise questions about the kind of laws regarding LLM and the companies behind them.

Like at what point do AI companies have a responsibility to step in in these scenarios?

Brave. I know some people don’t like it because of all the crypto nonsense, but I’ve never enabled any of that.

I really like it it’s built in ad and content blockers. Kinda random, but I love that you can block YouTube shorts. Idk, I just don’t like YouTube shorts or other short form videos like tik tok or Instagram

I’m thinking about trying zen again in the near future. At the time it seemed a little “too innovative” for me, but idk. I’ve been brower hopping a bit, because sometimes thing don’t work of Brave because of how much stuff I have it set up to block

They should force them to open source their models, datasets, and research

Yeah I too am a big supporter. There are already all sorts of open models on Hugging Face. The smaller fined tuned models are often better than the big models at the specific tasks they are trained for.

There’s just a big learning curve at how to start using the open weight models and LoRAs on Hugging Face for example

I think they’re open sourcing it because they actually make all their money from content recommendation and ad placement models

LLMs are just a side gig for them

Oh yeah, thats it. I was mistaken

It’s classified as an “assault rifle” in my state. But yeah, I suppose it varies from state to state.

Depends on whether you consider an AR-15 to be an assault rifle or not

Oh good, all my assault rifles are still okay though

Partially sarcastic, but I did convince 3 people to switch to Linux this year

Ironically, their stock is dropping because they started treating their users badly in order to improve stocks.
