Allegedly, LLMs have enabled hobbyists to build and improve tons of "media management" tools in the last year that can populate these self-hosted servers. You should not look up these tools, and certainly not set them up with friends.

I keep using some form of this metaphor when talking about why I believe in ML for lots of tasks, but I also think that LLMs are built on a false promise. louis-andre.net/journal/you-...

I get a lot of “but it’s business people making programmers do this” replies, implying that software engineers are innocent. That’s the software engineers who stole the term “engineer” from another profession that has very strict certification requirements & mandatory ethics classes.

An icon I made 8+ years ago. I did *lots* of custom icons for that client, but this one is my favorite. If you've searched for medication names in Canada, you've probably seen it. I hope that dizzy pal keeps on surviving more redesigns for a long time.

Screenshot from a medication information page. The visible title is "Effets indésirables", and the accompanying icon is a rising swirl with little rotating stars, like one would see above a dizzy character in a comic strip.

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

A screenshot from the Microsoft Teams app. The main title is blurred out and indicated as "Name of a meeting I had 18 months ago"

The Activity tab is selected, and its title is "activity_app_name" with underscores, like a translation string that wasn't found. All the tab contains is the string "activity_feed_empty_list_message" in an empty gray space.
