inference providers could be anyone from anywhere, there are even proxy resellers. some are harvesting and reselling your data.

if you send your code to claude/openai/google there is certainly a much higher degree of confidence in who you are sending your data to. yes they to harvest your data and can send you malicious commands (esp if you have a promp injection attack).

its like buying a cheap vps, if the stakes are low its fine, if it important then you need to consider about the consequences of your actions.

nb: i am no expert, just fucking around.

ollama or llama.cpp to self host if you have a good mac or good video card. this is perfectly safe.

there are a bazillion hosted inference providers to choose from https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/en/index be aware that you are sending your code to fuck knows who and they are sending back fuck knows what. ymmv, yolo.

hook one of them up to opencode.ai or pi.dev or one of the bazillion other ‘harneses’ or whatever we are calling it this week and try not to rm -r anything important.

for a good time try and get a chinese models to say something about tibet, or taiwan… its like having your own virtual tankie tamagochi!

The proposed News Bargaining Incentive, as currently drafted, does not address the underlying issues in the News Media Bargaining Code on which it is based. Commercially focused eligibility requirements create barriers to participation for small publishers and volunteer-based community media, further entrenching the status quo in a media landscape that is already one of the most concentrated in the world. Funding is needed not only to prop up existing publishers, but to regenerate a battered news industry and better serve Australian communities with relevant and reliable news services.

we have loads of great independent media that collectively control about 0.01% of the market.

they will not be seeing this money. it’s going to the oligarchy controlled legacy media.

juice media did a great bit on the previous iteration of it https://www.thejuicemedia.com/news-corp-bargaining-code/

Genetic data indicate that Greenland sharks diverged from ancestral sleeper sharks in the Canadian Arctic approximately 1–2.34 million years ago

you are off by a bit?!?

early sharks existed back then, not greenland sharks.

i only know this bc the very fun zoo of us podcast did an ep on sharks last week https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/333-great-white-shark/id1463896106?i=1000763230492
