A neat thing about pip and its ecosystem is that – if you know how to package for it – it's actually really good at installing the right binary for the current operating system and adding it to the user's path

Open Source AI Transparency vs Proprietary System Secrecy
By
–
Unlikely to happen with proprietary systems because they probably think of their prompts as trade secrets (though they'll leak easily enough to anyone who tries to get them), but open source AI assistants would have less incentive to try and hide their implementation details

Deepfakes: Why Top-Down Policy Won’t Stop Synthetic Media
By
–
I have been playing with open source voice cloning, face swapping, and image tools, and the unfortunate conclusion is that there is no longer a top-down policy that will stop deepfakes or watermark AI images, the tools are out there. We need different approaches to address this.

By

Devika Open Source AI Agent: Early Assessment and Progress
By
–
Been experimenting with Devika, the open source effort to build an AI agent like Devin. It is a very interesting start, but not close to Devin, yet. It struggles with executing on plans (the most critical feature for an AI agent). But I suspect that it will improve over time.
