    Ah, the sudden realisation of all the VCs that they’ve tipped money into what is essentially a fancy version of predictive text.

    Alexa proudly informed me the other day that Ray Parker Jr is Caucasian. We ain’t in any danger of the singularity yet, boys.

    If it crashes hard I look forward to all the cheap server hardware that will be in the secondhand market in a few years. One I’m particularly excited about is the 4000 sff, single slot, 75w, 20GB, and ~3070 performance.

      I can derive value from LLMs. I already have. There’s no value in crypto. And if you tell me there is, I won’t agree. It’s bullshit. So is this, but to a lesser degree.

      Mint some NFTs and tell me how that improves your life.
