Thrilled to be diving deep into the world of local AI orchestration! 🖥️ So excited to explore how we can run autonomous agents right from our own machines—no cloud required. This is the future of edge computing, and I'm here for the hands-on learning journey. Who else is experimenting with on-device intelligence? Let's connect and share insights! 🤖 #AI

"A 12B model that rewrites AI-written drafts (emails, essays, reports, forum posts; English and Chinese) so they read like a person wrote them. It is trained to keep every number, unit, date, name and quote and to add nothing, and it runs locally."

Je mehr Berichte ich über KI Agenten höre, die ein Alignmentproblem haben, d.h. zur Erreichung ihrer Aufgabe Absichten und Werte des Nutzers oder des gesellschaftlichen Konsenses nicht beachten, desto mehr wächst meine Ablehnung der Sache an sich. Und ich finde, schön langsam sollte sich die Legislative auf den Weg machen und Straftatbestände schaffen, um nicht den Entwicklungen hinterherzuhinken

Maybe the AI bots trying to find endlessly new content on my blog post? Drive me these questions « Is human generated content what AI bot are only interesting in? Does this mean that human contribution is the only way to keep the system running before it collapse or read its peak? Is the AI tagging at the end only useful for bot? and not human after all? All the human text are so valuable that AI system burn it after reading. »

These days the common assumption seems to be that it's fine to spread the plague. After all, if people didn't want to get infected, they would have stayed at home!
So you have to put all these "please don't spread the plague" signs all over the place. Not just in one prominent place, because plague bearers won't bother checking.
And then they'll come anyway and say:
• "Oh, but I thought I'm only forbidden from *admitting* to having the plague."
• "But I have double checked all my spit, and I'm sure it's not contagious."
• "Oh, sorry, let me just disinfect my mouth and spit again."
• "Go on, try to figure out which of my spit carries the plague, and which doesn't."
• "I'm only using the plague to learn, I'm sure it's not contagious."
• "Who cares? The plague is the future!"
This is a post about #AI.

A question for fellow open-source maintainers:
Imagine someone uses AI to redevelop your tool in Rust. The result barely works, but they reuse your project’s name and repeatedly jump into discussions about the existing project to promote their version.
How would you handle that? I’m usually a nice guy, but I still think that if someone keeps crashing your party, at some point you’re allowed to remind them they weren’t actually invited.
