Fantastic way to address the issues and the explanation of what makes a lot of the so called “common sense” gun legislation so problematic.

Honestly just jump in with whatever hardware you have available and a small 1.5b/7b model. You’ll figure out all the difficult uncertainties as you go and try to improve things.

I’m hosting a few lighter models that are somewhat useful and fun without even using a dedicated GPU- just a lot of ram and fast NVMe so the models don’t take forever to spin up.

Of course I’ve got an upgrade path in mind for the hardware and to add a GPU but there are other places I’d rather put the money atm and I do appreciate that it all currently runs on a 250w PSU.

Myron Cook - A very hands on and educational geology channel

USCSB - US Chemical Safety Board that recreates incident investigations and gives recommendations.

We just have to convince the conservatives that this would be a DEI program and it’ll be a slam dunk case. /s

Similar thought to your first paragraph, now that the dust is settling. My best guess is the current US playbook is to risk most of the US soft power and take advantage of its current economic position to really bolster its hard power so the US is in a position to exert more direct force/coerce the rest of the world for what it wants and have more control over policy in other countries. If that’s really the case then china is probably the biggest threat to that gamble as it’s been catching up to or surpassing the US in a few industries recently. And if the gamble fails the economy sinks for a while and Europe or china passes the us as the global powerhouse.

If I had to make business sense of this, it might be a pilot for eventual functions like a “sentiment injection” tool to really sway public opinion. With enough halfway believable accounts, not only does the site look more active, but companies/advertisers could pay Facebook to have the bots shovel opinions and products to users in a more overwhelming and coordinated approach than is currently possible with external bots.
