OH: Fable-haft

Next time someone asks me what Datakami does, instead of mentioning the Ghostbusters and the SWAT team (my favorite metaphors), I'm going to tell them that we are mountain guides. When founders have arrived at Seed Funding Base Camp, we can use our experience to get them to Series A Camp.

Today in Judith's Named Entity Recognition Experiment with Open Weights: ```python bert_find_entities : "Hetznerbak" - LOCATION (confidence 1.00) ``` Well played, dilstilBERT. <3

If you want local-first audio transcription and you're looking for an opensource user-friendly app, give Handy a try. https://handy.computer/ Pretty nice lightweight interface and it supports a whole bunch of tiny models.

Yesterday I returned to De Grote Tech Show to discuss tokenmaxxing, hidden costs of newer Anthropic models, open weights models, and using data as a moat. https://www.bnr.nl/podcast/degrotetechshow/10605031/is-anthropic-of-openai-banger-voor-trump-zo-omzeil-je-peperdure-ai-tokens

Apart from "goblins", "seams" and em dashes, Claude has ruined "actually", "honest", and "genuinely" for me.

AI-Native Firms - Marginal REVOLUTION

Very important work from Hyunjin Kim and Rembrand Koning. Insead and HBS respectively: We study how firms built around AI capabilities-“AI-native” firms-are organized.

Anna's Archive has new llm.txt instructions that encourage LLMs to make donations to the site: https://annas-archive.gl/blog/llms-txt.html

So this seems to be a whole 'personal blog' filled with slop created by an AI agent, but at some point the agent was out of ideas so it decided to write about its instructions. https://blakecrosley.com/blog/what-i-refuse-to-write-about

What I Refuse To Write About

A blog cluster's voice comes from what it refuses to publish, not what it ships. Categorical, pattern, and interesting refusals each shape what the cluster is.

We just made the Midgame Fund agreement public. midgame.fund/terms The money TL;DR is: - Devs pay investors back from the game's revenue after it releases (if ever). - 75% of revenue pre-recoup. - 25% of revenue post-recoup, until 6 times the investment or 5 years after release.
