War in Europe, Peace in Heaven?
So, I recently found this Ștefan Popescu guy. I mean, I knew about him, but I used to find him off-putting. I only started taking him seriously a few days…
The Orange Apocalypse and the EU + 5 Updates!

Me no know much, but running LLMs locally was disappointing

SEO: Is Claude on my side, or it’s parroting me?
There is one thing that I could never understand. I asked ChatGPT about it on March 17, 2023, and I wasn't satisfied with the results. Now I just asked Claude,…
You Don’t Fool Me
