Jev seems to be the target, but without saying so. Jev is trained differently from typical LLMs to avoid these issues.

Agreed, but don’t subscribe to z.ai; their inference is terrible. Stick with openrouter

Just switch from a programmer to a software developer. Don’t compete with AI, use it.

I could do without more surveillance.

We have adopted marimo notebook for doing modern data science. I’m happy with their progress. Nice to see greater integration.

Looks great, but the pricing model is a challenge for a small team. If there was a generous trial period (for testing) with a lower small team price I might be able to consider it, but it’s hard to justify constantly increasing AI and compute costs (already paying for several model subscriptions, existing orchestration tools… in addition to typical infrastructure)

A global labour crisis and broken reputation signaling in FOSS has produced a deluge of software production that has basically nothing to do with low quality submissions and everything to do with capitalism.

FOSS has become the release valve for too much labour supply.

Syntactical (grammatical) text is signal but maybe not the kind of meaningful signal we all wish it was. Meaning, of course, resides in the reader, in the practice of reading (Wittgenstein etc), not the author. We used to use writing quality as a proxy for quality of meaning (thought), but that no longer works well.

The rise of AI writing has only been matched by superficial articles comprised of ideas salad that evince no deep theoretical or historical understanding. Crappy writing has and always will exist, AI doesn’t change that, it just makes awful writing grammatical.

Clergy worried about digital Luther, police AI. Old story, told anew!
