Accenture Just Capped Employees’ Claude Spending at $29 a Month. Some Were Spending $1,000

We have a few dgx sparks in the office that are gathering dust right now because nobody wants to bother with them (and because IT doesn't allow them on the network because Linux is scary so they're a pain to get set up).
Matching the level of productivity of frontier models on the local models is possible to a limited degree (depending on the exact task), but takes getting used to. For the local models you have to lean into the fact that tokens are 'free' so its fine to burn a lot of them. (Whereas with frontier models the recommendation is to take a higher model for complex tasks because a lower would take more tries to get it right)

Clarification vs adaptation makes a huge difference in book translations. I don't envy the translators having to translate witty jokes/references that really only work in the original language

Indeed, all fun and games until they kidnap you from the streets because their religious laws prohibit the way you dress.

Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits
I hate reddit as much as the other guy, but I'm not sure what other course of action they have if they are by law required to do this.
What this new law means for fediverse users and servers hosted in the UK is still to be found out.

ai was good for one thing
Not sure if it's what the screenshot used (all these translator UIs look the same), but Kagi has a translator that allows putting arbitrary language in the language select box. Backed by a slop factory of course.
Fun to play around with and post screenshots I suppose, though I fail to see the use beyond that.

Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing
Reply in thread
It's called plugins, and it's great. Technically you are breaking ToS when using them, but there hasn't been any crackdown (the betterdiscord team did remove the more 'risky' mods like messagelogger from the plugin store)

ML research
To be fair an argument can be made for the Lego block one, using a novel combination of existing technologies to get better results is how nearly all innovation happens in machine learning.

Installing the third party stores would be way harder than it is right now if they do that though. No way the devs of e.g. f-droid are getting a verification on an app that bypasses Google's new 'safety measures'
