Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

the new flipper one will have a "local llm" slopbot, because of course it fucking will. also suspect they've used an llm for the blog post because of the emoji list. and the illustrations are also giving me weird vibes.

several other people have commented on the tone, and I believe it's just because it's massaged to be more marketing-ly
same with the local LLM crap, it's to appeal to investors
I have seen nerds be mad at them for using Discord and GitHub too, some people are really hard to please
doubt this will ever see the light of day anyway
I don't think it's actually going to be doing a lot of LLMing. It has a coprocessor for inference type stuff, but only 8GB of RAM on the SOC. So I assume they just stuck this in for marketing.
