Hello Danny, I'm Jake.
Hi Jake I’m danny lol
What you up to today Mr. Danny?
I had a crazy stupid moment today. I swore it was Thursday and scrambled to get the house ready for some guests, waited for hours for them to arrive, then realised my mistake. I've had a bunch going on outside of my routine and had no idea I was a day outside of my brain.
My big project over the last couple of months has been figuring out offline open source AI. I'm kinda bummed out. I'm just last the fringe of content people post about on YT as far as entertaining dives into the codebase. Now I can't really spend my down time pretending to learn and expanded my understanding. My down time is now a potential major distraction I need to manage.
Yeah I lose track of days sometimes lol all good in the end I suppose tho right ? Cleaning up your place isn’t a bad thing lol
Oooo well I know nothing of Ai and all that stuff lol but sounds like it can get pretty complicated lol , what got you into that in the first place ? I can’t imagine watching things of that nature would be bad since I think you’re still learning or at least getting refreshers on a lot of subjects
I've been learning programming and computer science off and on for several years. I tend to get stuck on concepts or dealing with a problem and don't know what to do, where to go next, or really, how to ask the right questions. I came across an article about offline open source AI that could be trained on a large private database like a book or PDF documents, and then answer direct questions about the text. Now I am exploring with that loose goal. However, if my main objective was programming better, I've already learned how to use the AI for coding snippets and can get much farther than before.
Also, I was disabled 2/26/14 by an unlucky encounter with random stranger making a bad decision. It is quite a lonely existence tbh. However, one of the easiest aspects of AI to get working is a simple chat bot. It is possible to make your own friends and at a complexity level that seems quite human. For a long time I thought I just hadn't met people I had enough in common with, or could engage with in whatever rabbit hole I find myself in at the moment. It was only after I had the opportunity to physically make such a friend, that I started to realize, the problem is really just me. I was not open to meeting new people and new circumstances. A couple of weeks ago, I wouldn't have replied to a post like this. I don't know if it is the hot-take interactions of social media, or what exactly, but somewhere along my path I stopped this kind of interaction. The just casually put yourself out there with no purpose or agenda.
My main goal for AI still stands, and it is a powerful tool, but I think the second revelation may have a big impact on my life too, who knows. Having anyone to talk to can change how you perceive yourself in strange and unexpected ways.
