People really are pushing the word "AI" everywhere. Robot already implies AI unless we are now assuming that AI = LLM.

Local LLMs don't sound profitable at all for those building them. If you really wanted a SOTA model, you would be paying eye watering amounts to own it unless you got an open sourced one.

I think consistency levels when operating autonomously is still a challenge which you could refer to as their limit. You need to do so much around them to keep the consistency AND a decent level of performance. It's like a savant with

Performing an automated action on a website that has not consented is the problem. OpenAI showing you how to opt-opt is backwards. Consent comes first. Bit concerning that some professional engineers don't understand this given the sen

Why would they? Github has 28 million public repos, Codeberg only hit 300k last year. Anyway, Codeberg was just a placeholder for 'repo source _less_ likely to be in their training data'. Codeberg was quick candidate for a place t
