These people are hiring in... Freiburg im Breisgau? Wonder how hiring is working out for them there.

In the 1990s "Object-Oriented Ontology" was introduced by Graham Harman [1]. The name was borrowed from computing, but its meaning has little or nothing to do with Simula or Smalltalk. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Harman
This is very interesting especially in the terms of what I think some call a "rabbit hole",
but we could be curious on how and why you saw misuse.

You are completely ignorant. This is one of the best places to live and work on earth. Nonetheless, they also have positions in San Francisco for what is worth.

Open-weight promise seems nice, but 1) I've seen people commenting that these hopes amounted to nothing for some previous releases (no idea which promises were made though); and 2) if the backbone is released as Dev, what will be missing? I can't easily tell from the post.
dev variants are usually cfg distilled which means that directly finetuning isn’t as effective. In the past, for the flux2 klein models,they released base versions that are not distilled. So it will probably be a while before you can fully take advantage of the open weights.

I think these days not being in the US is a plus for many potential hires.
Re: Flux 3
#66Sorry because pointing this is a bit tired by now, but reading already the first two paragraph thete is this unmistakable stench of LLM slop writing. Immediately disengaged.
It comes back as AI written when checked in Pangram, but I am skeptical.
It does not seem as grating as the slop I typically see in README.md files or generated docs.

#68It's incredible how negative and dismissive the comments in here are while here I am thinking the model actually looks impressively capable. But then again I heard the downers have always been the first to leave their dung comments here so let's see...
I'm a person who is making extensive use of current-gen "smart" LLM for coding tasks and building automation tools, doing some of the drudge work of gluing disparate open source things together into new projects. I'm fairly optimistic about that. Particularly when you have a good harness setup and you know enough about the subject matter to understand when a model has gone into some dead-end of reasoning or has built something that's not quite right.
At the same time, I can see social media is being flooded with absolutely horrid AI slop images and video. I'm much more pessimistic about the practical beneficial real world use of totally artificial image and video generators. It seems the uses that these things are put to when they get into the hands of millions of people are detrimental to society and not a benefit.

none of this is exciting compared to holodeck in star trek
> in star trek
Heh. On the other hand, we are seeing so much negativity around "AI", while we have access to something as close as possible to the "universal communicator" from trek. There are now several CotS things you can buy that basically serve this purpose. You can walk into a mall, buy one, and travel to the most remote place on Earth, speak in your own language, and almost anyone else can speak in their own language, and through technomagic the two of you can communicate. And yet there's so much pessimism...

A very beautiful place on earth: one friend who lives there enjoys road biking in the surrounding mountains. Another friend does cross-country skiing in his lunch break (in winter times).
I can totally see that. I imagine it's great for hiking and food. But if/when this company has an issue you'll have to move again or start working at the local Sparkasse or something.
