 ai tech is advancing so rapidly, i just looked into the latest tech and there is lora+peft for easy fine tuning of larger models, image to video models, chatgpt quality local coding (deepseek). You blink once and you miss tons of stuff. 
 Deeply convinced we're at an epic breaking point of AI since I found this AI-generated track on @wavlake #tunestr #AI https://wavlake.com/track/366b6fd7-7043-47d7-a11a-508713d4194f 
 At least dystopia will be awesome  
 I spent yesterday replacing all my regex output parsing with forced Json output

Basically a probability mask to force tokens to json

Sometimes model would screw me by ignoring my <parsing>tags</parsing> 
 Small models like Llama3.2-3B + Zed.dev editor work like a charm! 
 Agreed, I’m so into this technology that sometimes I forget how I used to do things before AI 😂 
 everybody is looking for the next smartest model. not many talking about curating the datasets.  the smartest is qwen 2.5 right now. but it is terrible in terms of human alignment. best alignment: llama 3.1 after of course ostrich 😆 
 heard good things about qwen, going to try it out 
 The /lmg/ thread on 4chan's /g/ board will keep you up to date. 
 The agenda is to replace humans. Too many humans aren’t paying enough attention.
