    Already setup! I think the first thing I want to do is setup retrieval augmented generation. Several of my hobby ideas will require it I think. Started trying to read up on it a couple days ago and I had a serious lack of focus going on.

    I’ve been kind of hoping to come across a super simple way to implement it, but haven’t exactly looked much yet.




  • “What I can tell, however, is that hating on the tech itself distracts people from blaming those actually responsible, the humans doing the enshittification. The billionaires, dictators…”

    ^– SattaRIP^

    That’s something I’ve been trying to convince people of that I converse with about LLMs and similar generative technology. I’ve met so many people that just throw a big blanket of hate right over the entire concept of the technology and I just find it so bizarre. Criticize the people and corporations using the tech irresponsibly! It’s like a mass redirection of what and who is really to blame. Which I think is partially because “AI” is something that sort of anthropomorphizes itself to a large portion of society and most people think the “personality within” the technology is responsible for the perceived misdeeds.

    I figure when all is said and done and historians and researchers look back on this time, there will be a lot to learn about human behavior that we likely have little grasp of at the moment.






  • “Medium: Same as easy but go from the derivative to the base.”

    I can’t quite recall, but I think I did exactly that with Ubuntu -> Debian once upon a time. I think Ubuntu was only a year or so old though, so there wasn’t a huge amount of divergence back then. As a bonus anecdote I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).
