Your own personal AI of yourself - Looks like creating an LLM AI of yourself is going to become a trend. I'm seing tech influencers everywhere experimenting with it. The turnkey solution by OpenAI looks to work pretty well, they are running a sort of App Store for LLMs. However I think many won't want to upload all their personal data to a 3rd party, so self hosted setups are likely going to be popular. Many are suprised at how good these AIs are, often they are better at answering questions than the person who's data they were trained on, because they essentially have perfect recall.
The latest Bitcoin Fundamentals has an interesting discussion between Preston and Jeff Booth. All about Personal AI models and Bitcoin.

Getting Started with Mistral-7b-Instruct-v0.1 - I've been hearing Mistral mentioned a lot on various podcasts recently. It's totally open source LLM, all the pieces run on your laptop using WASM. Has a chat client to interact with it and an API server so you can access it over HTTP. Pretty cool. www.secondstate.io #
The new Picadilly Line trains have air-conditioning - Anyone that has spent time living in London will have been on the Picadilly Line trains as they pass right through the centre of the city. They are some of the oldest lines on the network and are the deepest underground. They're also very compact, which makes them unique stylistically, but horrid in the summer rush hour. It's not uncommon for people to temporarily mentally turn into literal sardines. As you can imagine then, the news that these new trains will have aircon, is pretty big news. I used to commute in central London on the Picadilly Line everyday, first from West London and then a few years later, from East London. Turns out most trains throughout europe are tested in Germany, and they just had a staff and press day outing and wrote it up. The new design has a modern art deco vibe going on. Mind the gap mates. www.ianvisits.co.uk #
