My only quibble is that I am (again) paraphrased as if I talked about "AI" as a thing, or used "AI" to refer to language models. I'm sure what I said to Holly Baxter here was "language models" have these uses. I've asked for a correction.
In general, if you see me quoted/paraphrased in the media and the term "AI" is outside the quotes, that's gonna be a journalist mis-paraphrasing me.

Get used to it. I'm going to be even harsher not just on the companies making "AI", but also on people choosing to use it. You know what you're causing, and you choose not to care.

@stefan_hessbrueggen @joshisanonymous @Iris Oh yes, totally! There are applications where ML or even LLMs might provide a specific use case. In a constrained context, it may make sense to provide a machine translation or transcription, as long as we understand the boundaries of what it can or can't accomplish, and why...
But right now, the instrument to make LLMs possible are through an industry that is ecologically harmful, exploitative, and devoid of accountability. For example, creating an interface to LLMs that mimics human behavior (i.e., a chatbot) is irresponsible, at best...

Okaaaay, scaling is absolutely an issue, but how much of this is due to MS so heavily pushing Copilot?

so, uh, CI. if i were building one, what do you want to see?
where i'm going so far:
- multiple runner support (initially firecracker, but i'm sure there will be others)
- multiple OS support (initially linux, but i'd like at a minimum freebsd since someone's done the work to make that work in firecracker)
- custom rootfs support
- api for dynamic workflow configuration (so you can run a job to determine what jobs to run)
- the usual frontend with output live-relayed and viewing
- RBAC-based security
- cpu and memory limits
- output artifacts
- tarball a directory as an artifact if the build fails
ideas welcome
