This is great news! I’ve been complaining for years that one of the first pieces of legislation we should pass around generative AI is that humans should have a right to know they’re talking with a computer. You should never have to guess whether your talking to a human or bot.
Not that it’ll ever happen but the rich irony it would be if Hunter Biden was the next president gives me warm fuzzys. The perfect troll vote.

Same now that you mention it, using voyager but probably not relevant
I can’t tell what instance your from in my phone app, things seem to be working for me today
A must-pass congressional funding package for the nation’s roads, bridges, and public infrastructure includes an industry-friendly carveout that would give ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft legal immunity from car crashes and injuries, according to a review of the bill text by The Lever.
Let’s go, my wife and I are participating. Don’t expect crazy numbers but we gotta start somewhere
Keep em frosty people
that looks promising, I think I can see a path forward there, I still need to dig into the new calendar functionality, thanks for sharing!
Forgot to add, something I really want to figure out is how to do reminders with it. I’m stuck using Gemini on my phone for that and I’d really love to find a way to do that in HA if anyone has any tips.
We’ve been using the previews since they shipped. The Mycroft wake word has worked well enough for the whole family. Tried the chatbot fallback but the syntax of the intent parser is strict enough we were getting routed to the llm way more than we wanted. For example asking it to turn on a light and Claude telling us it couldn’t do that. It fails faster and more reliably with just the intent parser.
Our favorite use case is shopping lists. “Hey Mycroft add greens to groceries list” is great and won me some WAF. I also regularly use timers, some custom commands (hey Mycroft I fed the dog), and managing lights with scenes (hey Mycroft turn on Daytime).
I’m hoping to one day transition to a local llm that’s fine tuned for homeassistant specific tasks and it looks like some good ones will arrive soon. The existing implementations haven’t won me over yet.
Dunno, I’m a big fan and the wife doesn’t hate them, I’m really optimistic about the future of these. I think HA is going about them the right way and we’ll see good things in the future. It’s a little rough right now if you’re not willing to put up with the quirks probably but I think it’s just going to keep getting better.
Been waiting to dance on that grave
I don’t even wait. And when you’re a
starpresident, they let you do it. You can do anything
Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan are absolutely smarter than me but I still think it’s a red herring. Focusing on a number like that risks missing sight of the ultimate goal of overthrowing fascism, regardless of what it takes. Plus the math is not settled, it’s a complicated number and every situation is unique.
Wish I could upvote twice, people keep thinking the number is magic
It’s important to note a distinction here, maybe not a difference in kind but certainly a difference in degree, in attitude, in perspective.
You could argue all writing is propaganda. We take a slice of the world and distill it into words but we will always write from our own perspective. It is impossible to write from someone else’s point view. All writing is a slice of the world, mangled and tainted with ourselves. Good writing cannot escape this, maybe it hews closer to the world, maybe it injects less of our opinions but it is always biased. The best writing often shows us the world from a viewpoint that enriches our own understanding.
There has never been writing on that website that strays so far from reality, that is so heavily injected with a very specific viewpoint. And it is a viewpoint that benefits very few of us. It does not enrich our understanding of the world, it frays and decays it. This is an important moment because we have never seen writing like this on these websites. There are laws written to prevent moments like this, but they have failed. It is a clear, obvious and direct signal that our institutions have given up on meaning, on the rule of law, and on the american dream. Sure, maybe we’ve always been a fascist country, but we have never, ever, been this fascist before. This is new territory for us and it is worth consideration.
Thought it was pretty clear, thumb out=ILY, thumb in=rock out
But regardless of interpretation, fuck maga
Ram and scram
I’m stoked! One of my favorite open source projects. Looking forward to the android app and grateful for all the work you put in @get_flomped@get_flomped@lemmy.world
