It’s a big week for Meta. The company just kicked off its big Connect conference on Wednesday, and the new Muse AI agent appears to be an early hit. I’ve been using it — it is surprisingly good. CEO M

I just had a voice conversation with the Datasette backup of my blog via datasette-mcp, which you can now talk to using the ChatGPT iPhone app Massive QoL update: ChatGPT Voice can now use plugins AND

I looked this for 2+ hours. Transluce’s investigation was quite clever: - OAI agents used urlquery to run code/access websites - urlquery logs all activity; this let the team find 6K+ AI actions (like

I was having trouble searching and analyzing the different models that Ollama has available ( https://ollama.com/library ). I wanted to filter for specific model sizes and tooling capabilities, so I b

If you believe the risk is coming from 1-3 people in a garage with no money and no compute, you just don't understand this technology and haven't learned anything this summer. Risk comes from the asym

Hi, sorry if this doesn't belong here. Getting to the point basically, I've been using online-only AI like GPT/Gemini since 2022, and have been interested in local models but am clueless overall. Yes
