  • I am interested in reading more about what Tezka means. Please do share.

    I think i can relate to your goals and am personally focused on similar work in an effort to make my own life a little more bearable. my efforts are more focused on executive function and how to integrate this into my life seamlessly vs llm/conversational ai. i have been playing around with conversational ai, but i currently lack the psychological understanding which is needed to do this right. i look forward to hearing more from you.

    my immediate (ok, i have been working on this all day) thoughts

    • as other have mentioned, i like quirky. I would want them to show some flaws. idk what exactly, but i think it would be off-putting to be overly clinical or “perfect”
    • i would be more comfortable interacting with Tezka in a more private environment such as a matrix room vs a more public comm like this.
    • i like the “relational repair” aspect. my own shortcomings here is something that has been made much clearer to me recently. I imagine them asking me if i have reached out to my relations, and give me some personalized advice on how best to approach the person. If the interaction with the person did not go well, then i imagine them helping me through it in a positive way, preparing me to try again next time.

  • To expand with my personal experience, I self host a synapse server partly for the reason that i want my children (aged 8-14 now) to have a communication platform they can access to get ahold of me with out requireing a sim card. I do not federate, and i do not allow account sign ups. That keeps a pretty isolated instance while still allowing everyone on that homeserver to be able to talk to each other.

    I help them get Element setup on each device. I dont think this is overly complicated, but i am sure i am a horrible judge of complexity… They have to enter the url of the server, then their password, then they need to scan a qr code/verify from an existing device. Or, they need to enter a second passcode to verify their identity. I help them keep those secrets in bitwarden, so imo, that complexity is an opportunity to explain some opsec and encryption!




  • I am using Mistral 7b Instruct for text summary and some light “assistant” type chatting for the last several months. I have been pleased at how accurate it is for my needs, especially given it’s size.

    I recall alot of trial and error to find models that were compatible with the version of llama-cpp-python that oobabooga uses (at any given time). GGUF should have made the model format (and therefore model selection) more simple, but i imagine there are still nuances that make it more difficult than it should be to find a working model for a noob.

    Best of luck, let us know how it goes
