A few takeaways from the move:
The way I see it, all these general LLMs and AIs are just the learning tools for the actual future use for ML.
Companies are throwing money and research at them for easy gains, but once the bubble pops, most of them will be irrelevant and will die off. Once there’s no reason to “move fast and break things”, the actual slow and methodical research will start happening to find where ML belongs in this world.
In the future, specialized companies will utilize all the research being done today to craft more focused tools that do things that machine learning is actually useful for.
ML tech isn’t going away. It just needs to mature to the point where these useless bots aren’t worth the effort.
I would say to go find some people. Go find a local gaming store, and look for something like a DnD or tournament group to join. Maybe look for some other sort of group: camping, biking, robotics, whatever.
Get to know some people, make some friends. Once you get to know people and get close to them, then you can open up about your struggles. Good friends will want to support you and help you out.
Find some people and then you won’t have to struggle alone. Plus, all the fun things you can do with them will be a good distraction from your addictions, and maybe, over time, your addictions will lessen.
My guess has a few factors to it (in no particular order):
Cost soda syrup is likely a lot cheaper than the chemical concoction for energy drinks.
Safety Energy drinks pose a much greater health risk if the concentrations are off. Companies would have to prevent young children from accessing the machines (if they are used in restaurants). They would also have to prevent customers from drinking too much. I can also imagine chugging a bunch of the syrup would likely kill you (it’s bound to happen).
Flavor Control soda companies already accept and plan for the difference in fountain vs bottled sodas. I feel energy drink companies want as much control as possible to keep their brand image perfect.
Sadly they are not mine. All of the pics I find are from random places on the Internet. A person in my house has severe allergies, so having pets is out of the question. One day I hope to be able to get my own pets.
Adorable!
It really is a special community to me. Some day soon I want to show it to the special person in my life. I’ve been secretly finding all these pics just for them 😊
That makes me happy to hear! 💕
Lol. It’s so greedy of them!
Jokes aside. It’s an interesting distinction to make. Even though the source code is freely available, it doesn’t mean developers have free reign to do anything they want like they could with open source software. Apart from special circumstances, everything made with the source code will still be mods.
