Mauve 👁💜 @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe

Did a presentation yesterday about the LLM stuff I've been doing in Agregore at a meetup focused on indigenous usage of AI and local training/inference.

I think it's helped me clarify some of the "why" on this work internally so I'm gonna work on a blog about it.

@dumpsterqueer User agents aren't just turning complete these days the're straight up passing the turing test 😱

Also, here's all my LLM generated apps publushed to the #dweb

Had a dream I was interviewing to work at google and they locked me in a room with five other people for a week and only one of us was going to be allowed forward. They had neat vr glasses though which was cool.

The reason that I can be effective at work while being ADHD is that I am very vulnerable to nerd sniping and I happen to be constantly nerd sniped into solving work related tasks :P

@garbados I generally only use text ones because for images I prefer making them myself or commissioning artists that I know personally. I think some folks have fun with image generators but I'm not a fan of them being used commercially.

@garbados Mostly been using local LLMs like Qwen2.5-coder. Have been adjacent to folks using the cloud based models but I haven't used them myself.

I'm not a fan of the closed source models but IMO the open ones can be useful for folks. e.g. I know of folks working on grant writing for indigenous folks and I think they can be handy for offline knowledge bases for coding/chatting. I'm not a fan of the ways in which capitalism is feeding and weaponizing the tech and the high energy usage

I run into trouble every time I try to use generative AI for something other than generating a vague outline or summarizing some content or translating from some text to another format of text. I just don't think it'll save us from doing the thinking and processing stuff that humans are best suited for. Else you'd spend more time trying to direct it than you would doing it yourself (assuming you could do it yourself I guess?) outside a few small tasks.

Maybe that's a good thing though?

No ethical Vore under Capitalism

Being around folks that are mostly self named makes using government ID feel like using a secret code name. Like yes, for the purposes of this covert interaction (food delivery) my name is "Generic human name".
