@nealagarwal In what way is llama 2 involved?

[Vasishta @vaskal08]

Working on a new feature for @boringreport on the website (https://t.co/RHUHC2bZTl) that allows you to ask questions about a particular event that uses the context of the related sources. Have found this to be particularly useful in cases where the summary is not sufficient.

@amasad @paulg Something we’re trying to do @boringreport

Trying to combine multiple news sources to generate new summaries, and answer questions about news events. If multiple publications talk about the same fact, it is more likely to be ground truth.

@__tinygrad__ Would it be possible/make sense to shard across GPUs on different machines remotely, to have a distributed compute system?

[Vasishta @vaskal08]

@alemalohe This is awesome!

How about for our app that uses AI to remove sensationalism from the news, called Boring Report: https://t.co/xJjRwE2TZQ

[Vasishta @vaskal08]

@paulg Maybe all social media, and screen time in general

@JosephJacks_ @OSSCapital Do you invest/donate to nonprofit open source organizations?

[Vasishta @vaskal08]

@Ajax08784049647 @togethercompute Good to know, makes sense, thank you!

@iamgingertrash What are your hardware specs?

[FORTUNE @FortuneMagazine]

Boring Report thinks it’s found an antidote to public skepticism by enlisting A.I. to rewrite news headlines from their original sources and summarize those stories. https://t.co/k1qgnsCw6R

@boringreport You’re doing great work, been loving this app. Feel like I can actually read the news now

[Boring Report @boringreport]

Version 2.0 is out! With this new version:

- We've revamped the user experience to be more engaging. Don't worry, you can use compact mode if you prefer an even more "boring" experience.

- We've reworked the system to process the news even more quickly from when it was published. After all, it's called "news."

- The feed now defaults to be sorted by new, with the dates reflecting the original published date of the source articles.

[Vasishta @vaskal08]

@rsg Could be extended to building UI on the fly and also integrating user analytics + A/B testing to make decisions.

[Vasishta @vaskal08]

@rsg Made a rudimentary demo for something like this on mobile a while back.
