The thing about a local LLM is that you don't have to worry about runaway costs and also your provider can't nerf the model without your say-so - like every one of these bait-and-switch mofos do without exception.

A compelling case I think, which would seem to imply that hyperscalers have no business model (but providers of good local models do).

That also has me wondering how much the whole 'our rogue AI accidentally the whole hugginface' was just a cover for naked espionage. #AI

@clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛 He was never going to lose but these idiots made sure that no serious candidate got any consideration. Treating the whole thing as a big joke made sure only 12k votes out of a potential 80k were enough to secure the seat. People who advocate for either Farage or those joke idiots are undermining the democratic system. Probably Farage used him to suppress opposition votes and just look how well it worked. The added bonus for MAGA fascists being this apathy spreads across the country.

Farage got 63% of 44%. If there were a credible opposition candidate, 30% of the eligible voters could have voted for ...

@kravietz 🦇 How lucky are we to be European. There are endless propaganda videos on Youtube et al about China building five hospitals in a lunchtime and ngl truly impressive 'biggest span bridges in the world' and look I'm not a civil engineer but we don't have building regs in the West because we just fucking love paperwork. MAGAs bang on about eurocrat bureacracy and yeah sure we are on the safe side in Europe but would you prefer to be inundated with several billion liters of water instead?

@kravietz 🦇 Russian orthodox across the world, Sweden recently shut some down and it has been like this for years, influence operations, keeps them in with ex-pat communities, cover for officers and agents. Their local agent will run 'charity events' at a fancy estate, all beluga and bibs ekkel, we send some 2nd secretary 😏 and get to look the enemy in the eye. But actually running them directly as spotters, is dumb. Maybe it is the difficulty of grooming bored teenagers to do it. #KirilRolex

Beware Z-Nuns. The ROC and its Belarusian cutouts have long provided mobility, access to community networks, and an excuse to be near sensitive sites without raising flags. They travel in pairs, are seldom searched aggressively, outreach to communities without suspicion, and their 'charitable' activities justify repeated visits to build human networks.
