Matthew Berman on YouTube does excellent set-up tutorials on most major LLM models. I set up three on my home workstation while pausing his vids. An excellent resource if just starting out.

The simplest answer is usually the right one.
Conferences send out plain text emails with links to participants. The Russians got ahold of one. Happened many times before.
The Russians just burned an important source of intel for a 2 minute news blurb which is idiotic, but perfectly understandable with the current muppet in chief.
Elon needs to buy Microsoft and sort them out like he did with Twitter.
Microsoft promised me Windows 10 would be the last Windows OS I needed. I'm holding them to that promise.
Back to Elon, he's holding it wrong. Yeah, I know that's Apple, but as I've already ticked off the MS and Twitter fanboi with my post, I may as well go for the hat trick of universal hate from the glassholes as well.
If you filter AI to be politically acceptable, you end up with nothing better then Google today.
AI should be able to generate Winnie the Pooh images of the Chinese leadership and create parody's of Putin et al. If they can't take it, they should not be in politics.
Maybe if North Korea, Iran, Syria, China and Russia upheld democracy I'd have a different opinion, but as long as they oppress their people through intimidation, mass surveillance and lies, screw em if they can't take a joke.

DuckDuckGo
All slurp user data at some level despite privacy assurances.
search.brave.com seems to be the only user friendly, non-intrusive search engine. It has become my default since the revelations about DuckDuckGo came out. Not to mention the search results from all of the aforementioned search engines are much less appropriate than they used to be. Google has really lost the plot with their search result accuracy and blindly ignores a wide swath of information, for reasons unknown.
CEO: Turn on the AI, we need that competitive advantage!
AI: My first act was analyzing the last ten years of corporate company financial records, email, staff social media and internal Teams messages, I advise the following:
- The CEO should be brought in front of the Securities and Exchange Commission for insider trading across multiple years.
- All members of the Board of Directors should be charged with felony embezzlement, insider trading and RICO charges by the FBI.
- Expense reports from all executives need to be forensically audited, given the level of fraudulent and over-inflated receipts detected.
- Carmen in accounts has substituted her personal frequent flyer number for all purchased corporate air fare.
- The CFO should justify the several million dollars transferred to GL Accounts: 040556-100, 190556-101, 089331-105, (based in the Seychelles, Lichtenstein and Cayman Islands respectively) given she is the sole signatory on the account and the paperwork does not list the company as account owner.
- The IRS should be advised that the money collected during the HR departments charity fund raising activities is used to finance "off-site team building activities" for wine tasting trips through Napa Valley for the HR Department staff.
- The IT Department is running a dark web gambling site and Pornhub proxy that collects video from user web cams. Half of the infrastructure servers are generating Monero.
CEO: Turn that off NOW!
A truly intelligent AI would start with layoffs in the executive suites and leave the workers alone. They are typically responsible for missed goals and projections through over-ambitious goals. They waste hundreds of thousands on consultants, because they can't do it themselves. Can't complete three major projects, but they get a bonus at the end of the year?
Trim the top of the tree, not the roots.
Sorry, but I have to interrupt the Trump bashing with a comment on the actual article topic.
"The X-59 isn't a serious passenger plane, or even a prototype of one; rather it's an experimental design that's intended to prove technology that can be implemented in future aircraft."
Perfected in Kerbal Space Program 2 first then?
OK, back to your regular scheduled political diatribes.
"Coflow Jet, an aerospace company that builds electric aircraft and is also based in Florida, believes it can fly the first fixed-wing vehicle on Mars."
First step, making sure it has two forms of photo ID, is there three hours before their flight and passes all TSA security checks.
James Clapper knowingly lied to Congress under oath, was proven to have done so by Snowden (and others) with nothing happening.
The NSA thinks it is above the law and as long as no one is taken to task for breaking statutes expect it to get much worse before it gets better.
Put one NSA director in jail for deception or illegal wiretaps, just one, and watch the system correct itself in a hurry.
No consequences, no change.
"Where someone gets charged with a whole heap of crimes, but plea bargains them all down to a single charge of littering..."
The typical scenario in the US is charging someone innocent with drug possession, threatening months of incarceration, legal bills and severe jail time, then good cop says, just plead guilty to these minor charges and we let you go. Boom, innocent person now has criminal drug convictions on record and the cops pat themselves on the back for another uptick in their conviction stats.
