How would they be self-hosted? Someone would have setup the model in that scenario, the same investigation and outrage should occur in that case.

The interface reminded me of Community in Halt and Catch Fire. Sure enough...

Literally what I was about to comment. This is meant to capture the normies, the busy parents managing school and work, the grandparents who want to make most of their retirement.

I am trying it now. It let me name my muse as Satan. I appreciate that it understands my humor, but I'm also not joking at the same time.


Is "normies" finally a mainstream word? Just wondering how out of the loop I am here.

I've never heard a normie use it. ;)

I think it's very common - its just what a 'normie' is depends on your particular poison... it seems to have been incorporated in a lot of hobbies/niches to refer to anyone not deep in the niche ?

My parents are in their 70s and retired, I can't even vaguely imagine what they would use this for.

If they have any problems in life, it is that they have too much time on their hands already. An AI agent that automates tasks so they have more free time is exactly what they would not want.

What they really want is something worth spending their time on. That is what everyone pretty much wants but instead we get this bullshit.


I would get something like this for my son who has a desire to learn assembly and build from scratch.

The date keeps changing on each release so every version bump becomes AGPL five years from the date its published. Its an interesting model, but necessary to be aware of the nuance in case you ever want to consume it.

>Is it legal? It is against TikTok's terms of service. It is sold for research and educational use.

Oh, ok. Otherwise, very detailed deconstruction to scrape their API. Lots of layers of registration and creating a request that looks like it is valid client.


The migration guide does say there are breaking changes, but the interpretation I have is "this won't have new features but allows us to develop new features".

The evolutionary mistake that allowed us to walk on our feet and use our hands enabled us to build tools, conquer our environment and tackle hard problems. A humanoid robot provides a good blueprint for creating a robot that can do anything.

A solar field robot can only do one thing. A humanoid robot with a software model that allows it to install solar fields and then switch to a new model is a much more compelling use case. Eventually you're going to run out of solar fields to install, then you need a solar field repair bot, a solar field cleaning bot, etc. General purpose robots that can switch models to perform different tasks is not a dead end, but definitely a very hard problem.


Caught off guard has been used a lot this year.

Recent work in this space has got me looking at using local models for daily use. I’m waiting for people to start dumping some of the previous generation minis on Facebook marketplace or eBay so I can pick one up. Of course there’s also other options. I’m still hammering out my requirements and what I want to do besides putz around.


Two of those links were Macs. No surprise. Macbooks selling like hotcakes due to AI. Not just local LLMs but also just really efficient *nix machines that AI agents love to use for productivity.

This is incredibly cool. I tried a few songs and it was pretty accurate. Really useful.


thanks! hope that you are enjoying it :)
