🤔 The more I use LLMs and the more I think about their potential, the more I am convinced that most countries currently behind in terms of development and with a controlled corruption will be able to advance themselves forward at warp speed. Many fear LLMs, in my opinion, mainly the ones with the most to loose, to loose control over people, to loose resources and profits. Hopefully exciting times ahead

#APERTUS An open source, multilingual AI model called "Apertus" that aims to challenge the dominance of proprietary systems like ChatGPT while prioritizing transparency, accessibility, and ethical AI practices. Considering Switzerland latest developments related to their dead neutrality and their slowly but surely move towards EU Orwellian ideology... (See Proton current position and their consideration to move to another jurisdiction), I will be cautious, yet, interesting. Using AI? Support Open Source, avoid using closer sourced products. #AI #LLM

@Vitor Pamplona, maybe Amethyst own repository for F-Droid solves the F-Droid non sense... Others have done as Samorai Wallet used to and nowadays Session does as well... If people uses F-Droid they are savvy enough to add your repo.

White Noise Private Chat is out! No Amber support, crap, okay, I am excited, I'll create a new profile and test... crap, I have to create two profiles and test in two mobiles, that is lots of work...but... I am excited, so be it... Done, Sadly not ready, this app IMO is not public ready, needs work, buggy, and after the invitations were accepted (after many error pop ups) not a single message arrived, neither after 30 minutes... ironically, the invites over NIP-04 (insecure messaging) arrive just fine. Here still scratching my head as of why to use NIP-04 for invites, any client that uses that NIP is simply not doing it right. And if the target is for people using a client that do not support NIP-17... Seriously, that is non sense, they clearly don't care about privacy so why will they use White Noise... Summary: Needs work, not ready, keeping and eye on it, love the concept.
