Friend in question here, happy to help answer any questions. The combination of RAG and the meta-analysis capabilities of LLMs make this a great use case actually :)

I'm afraid it's mostly unintended. You have to have seen this pattern to recognize it and stop/alter it's course

Unbelievable really

Too bad it's usually followed up by a brutally honest observation three minutes later that out of anyone else's mouth would be an insult. Gotta love them toddler years :)

One of my friends who works on music licensing in Netherlands made a good remark about this that made me think: licensing and getting paid for being the original creator is a thing only since 50's-60's last century, before that it wasn't a thing for the entirety of human history.

Question is how to know. If the authors just do it and don't tell anyone, it'll be hard to prove, especially a few years down the road. I think this will go the way of the cd/mp3/Spotify, there's an evolution coming that will be driven by need, it's just not clear yet what that will look like.

Pretty sure a human could write a book "Here's a summary of all the lessons I learned from John doe". It probably comes down to attribution and wording? Maybe?

Get it while it's hot (and available)!

I'm on my third and seem to have found a strange zen place I would have loved to have the first time around ;)

Toddler age is like you're at war with yourself while fighting a drunk belligerent mini-human. Just try to follow the same process everyday, even if it seems pointless at times. The things you do now shape the future.

Dammit!

Looks cool, will check it out. Needs a better name though :)

I mean I have had a paid cleaning help for 20 years with this reasoning: I can spend one hour of consulting and pay her a decent wage to do something I detest: cleaning our house. Everybody wins :)

Ben allang blij dat de trend die we vroeger hadden er niet zo veel meer is: 1 voor in de klas, een voor gezin, 1 voor sportclub, etc.

Haha, recognisable. Be careful though, you can justify a lot of costs that way, slippery sloap.

Ah sorry, thought you lived there. Just saw your picture on my timeline and it caught my attention. Next time!

Definitely go to the Chinese restaurants on opposing corners in Chinatown. The owners are in a fun competition for customers. t&k seafood is one of them, I forgot the other :)

Sure, but then where do you draw the line? Linux runs on warships, some of the most horrible content on the net is powered by a plethora of technology that is arguably doing a lot of good too. I don't have an answer by the way, struggled with this in the past.

They don't drive much additional monthly spend if the customer is already on AWS. It's the new businesses that they want to capture.

The funny bit: gen ai by itself isn't bringing AWS much $$. It's all the stuff you also need (data and computer) which gets them your AWS spend. I spent years running an AWS consulting partner, neither partners nor AWS sales reps are super interested in the gen ai opportunities

That Azure and AWS are working hard to capture that GenAI market as it's probably needed to win this century.

I agree, it's not great. But it's traditionally what happened with these big tech trends.

will go back to the way things were before (or still is in many places) : marginalized. That is not the same as killing them. I don't at all think either should happen by the way, to be overly clear ❤️

I used to be very much in the traditional male/female camp but over the years changed my opinion about this to be much more open to other ideas. I think when he said the ideology needs to be eradicated he says he wants people like me to change my opinion so that people who are actually affected

And probably the Venn diagram between cloud hyperscalers and ai hyperscalers is not two separate circles ;)

Wondering if it's bluesky specifically or any link in your profile since x wants to keep people on-platform. I wouldn't be surprised in either case

But humans are far from flawless too, the baseline is just to be better than that, which in many cases is not a high bar. Guess it's different for people who are writing professionals.

I mean, I'm a nerd at heart and not very good with expressing myself in a nice eloquent way. AI helps me to structure my thoughts and get my message across and I like that.
Hallucination is real and as the models get better it gets ever more subtle.

Gender ideology isn't only practiced by people who identify it. I also never said I think the concept should go away.
