What is in the nightly crontab for this sign to make sense?

After going back and forth between three programming and two spoken languages this past week, I can now tell that my brain is starting to get tired.

API support for the #OpenCollaborationService in #Nextcloud.

Betting the house on these #AI services today is akin to proposing marriage on a first date. You haven't really seen enough yet to know what this relationship is going to look like longterm and there's a lot at stake.

One thing #AI has done for #SysAdmins is that it's started to normalize more spend trends towards CapX (servers, switches, etc) over OpX (AWS, Azure, software subscriptions, etc) so server environments are finally getting refreshed in places that have been overdue for them.

If you're a #Fedora #Linux user and have opinions about #AI in any direction, please share them! Today is the last day for the AI/ML Fedora community user survey!

I wonder how many books on #Amazon right now are entirely #AI LLM generated nonsense?

Asking AI To Make A Hit Country Song About Dr Pepper

Today's fun - Attempting to migrate an old MySQL 5.5 database to sqlite3 and rewrite extant queries accordingly.

AI models are increasingly getting trained on LLM AI generated data and becoming less useful. Generative AI is eating its own tail now.

#AI

I've... never seen the point of Reddit.

Not that I ever thought it shouldn't exist. It's never just never appealed to me.

Regardless of your views on #AI, I think this is a worthwhile experience because it gives a sense of the comparative compute cost of a query that isn't felt the same way when you type it into a website or use an API service.

So far my local #AI from scratch adventures have mostly resulted in making whatever room I'm in hotter on an already hot day. 🥵

Trying to understand #AI better and trying to do it from the ground up and my goodness, so much of it is poorly documented with various compatibility problems between toolsets and hardware and you definitely need some beefy hardware to do generative stuff. It's no wonder why most orgs will "just use OpenAI".

That doesn't mean there isn't an opportunity to build something better and more efficient on extant #opensource platforms, but my goodness, it's a rough wild west out there right now.

Are you a #Fedora user and/or contributor who has an opinion (in any direction) about the potential for AI incorporation in the project? Please fill out this quick survey to share your views.
