It’s because this story hints at the concept of “Unmetered AI”. It can be easily hosted locally and run with a self-hosted LLM.

Wonder if Edison mentioned Nikola Tesla much in his writings?

Eh…everything but the Cloud Platform UI/UX/Usability front. GCP portal is a hot mess. It is far worse than Azure and slightly worse than AWS.

Ya know…you go once, drag your family to it, etc. It’s not a repeat excursion for locals. Without some serious interactive exhibit$, that attract schools of children, annually… doesn’t feel like a sustainable business model. Especially with that price tag. Maybe more of an add-on room to the Museum of History and Industry.

Maybe I’m the exception but I went maybe 30 or 40 times. There was so much joy in sharing my childhood with my child. Also the small gift shop had someone who knew their obscure technology history book, I must have bought 10 books from that shop.

A museum does not need a business model, per-se. If it goes in the national interest it should be preserved by the country.

And a tad more risk

Careful what you wish for. There are likely billionaires considering this very thing as a method of dealing with “the AI impact”.

They will define what “…doing social or creative work…” entails, likely contractually, and then you’re right back where you started.

I think, we need to rethink, where this basic income originates.

    - Philanthropic individual billionaires? 
        - Mythical creatures.             

    - Philanthropic trillionaires (aka: large govts or corps)? 
        - Mythical creatures. 
   
    - Collective individuals (aka: you and me)?
        - Now you’re on to something.

Unfortunately, organizing humans is right up there with trench digging in terms of easy work.

I’ve been attempting to deploy a customized AnythingLLM instance within an enterprise env. TimC (and presumably dev crew) are top notch and very responsive.

Waiting for EntraID integration. Post-that, a customized version of AnythingLLM can tick the boxes for most of the lowest hanging use cases for an org.

Thanks for the killer app TimC and crew!

Reflect on where I am in life, where I’ve been, where I’d like to go.

Write (paper and pen), draw diagrams, sometimes sketch.

If sick, watch fav movies and only do email via phone.
