@FalkTG Only grifters want a european army.

@YishengJiang @runaway_vol Yay, finally someone will do the killing for free 🎉

[Andreas @sefzig]

@krzysioactuary @runaway_vol Do you mean militarily or economically?

[Andreas @sefzig]

@runaway_vol What could possibly go wrong? I'm sure the world trusts us to use it responsibly. You know, for fighting real enemies and not imaginary ones.

Einer der Exportschlager der kommenden Zeit werden Kulturgüter sein. Ich meine da nicht nur Bach und Kuckucksuhren, sondern individuelle, interpersonelle, und soziale Methoden, einbettbar in fremde Systeme und Leistungen. Ich denke dass Deutscchland da in verschiedenen Bereichen eine Nase vorn hat und über einen nennenswerten historischen Fundus verfügt, der solchen "weichen" Angeboten eine notwendige Kredibilität geben kann. Aber dies erfordert eine Besinnung auf Werte (ich meine hier nicht staubige Deutschtümelei) und das kriegen die jüngeren Generationen derzeit nur mäßig auf die Kette.

@EveryCarpet @favelaoverlord Same. My most used espanso (app) match is :prompt-ask. Turning hallucinations into handpicked pieces of context and instructions.

@twizshmunk @Naughty_isotope @Polymarket In a way she served the same purpose, just in the opposite direction, as an anti-anti-Russian buffer. (Sorry for the mean diagnosis, but correct in certain regards, as is the op's diagnosis.)

[Andreas @sefzig]

@Polymarket Fascinating to see how little engagement this post has produced...

[Andreas @sefzig]

@txgermanbre You dropped all the references like a good German citizen thinks they are supposed to be dropped. Only critique would be that you have forgotten to weave in China. Maybe your post should get censored, but I'm unsure because it is of otherwise such stunning information density.

[Andreas @sefzig]

Well, you are used to that already, arent you?

Actors turning the culture they grew up in into crazy dollars, entrepreneurs turning the markets others have built into huge profits, and doctors turning the health issues of patients into high incomes.

Developers decided to work with new technology so they have to stick to that.

All this is not to say I wasn't sick of the recklessness of the frontier companies. Just want to say that this is no surprise in the system we live in. If we want to step out of that escalation, we need to step out of our free-wheeling legacy org.

@MuzzammilRafiq7 @thdxr Boohoo.

[Andreas @sefzig]

@christianreber It's not the politicians. We have exactly those we deserve as we allow ourselves to be ideological instead of political, and compliant instead of bold. The friction I get as an ambitious builder stems from those who sit right next to me, refusing change that requires work.

[Andreas @sefzig]

@mark_k @no_shits_2_give I would clearly prefer that. I am so tired of reading "you are right to point that out" after I made a tired night logic mistake. But maybe it's because I'm German.

[Andreas @sefzig]

@mark_k Humans will come here when they need a break from farming context for their bosses agents.

[Andreas @sefzig]

@sidmenonp @JayaGup10 Try OpenCode and add LiteLLM to it.

[Andreas @sefzig]

I am / we are not. But only because we are not there yet.

Key insight: Frontier models are just needed for a fraction of the tasks in an agentic knowledge working system.

If you have a setup that automatically routes models by task (for example OpenCode with LiteLLM), there are areas in which your old finetuned model can create lots of value today and in the mid future.

[Andreas @sefzig]

@andydrewie @satyanadella Look into OpenCode to see that a) frontier models are needed only for a fraction of the work, b) how to stay provider agnostic, and c) create embeddable agentic systems.

[Andreas @sefzig]

Then dont use chat but set up a filesystem in which the llms of your choice work in. In OpenCode, say "Hi. I need a durable X. Guide me in setting up a filesystem in which the agents will Y. Read Googles blogpost on OKF before you start. Then ask me questions one by one, message for message, until you have fully understood what I need."

[Andreas @sefzig]

@jerryharlow @aditiitwt Open Source models can not be spyware, that's technically impossible. Only the server a model is hosted on may be compromised. So find a hoster that knows how to host them (and does not spy by themselves), or host/run the model yourself.

[Andreas @sefzig]

@BlackHC No, we need to make chips and be ready to take over when the time has come. I don't see us being capable of that as of now, we should work on that while the token price war rages.
