Had not even thought about having kids in the house with an AI robot. Obviously there are the more apparent issues (asking about things they don't need to know) but saw a recent article about how ChatGPT and some other models have an implicit confirmation bias when interacting with users. I don't need my kid to reinforce bad ideas from their cute, all knowing, robot friend.

This is the kind of project I really want to make, especially now that LLMs are very capable, even the small ones. Just need a good computer to run the model off of. I wonder what happened to Mycroft? I looked forward to seeing more of it.

Mycroft was an open source alternative to Alexa.

I don’t see the allure here. It’s nothing but an ai assistant that’s already on every phone. The interaction angle is not clean at all. I hear Apple is going to release something similar. Very curious to see how that goes, I am extremely pessimistic on that one. Let’s see

I wanna do this but with a locally running LLM. They’re getting better and better. Can’t wait for something like Taalas to ship custom LLM hardware for personal use

@kukanani, would you mind sharing the source code please? I really want to hack on this.

Oh hey, I've had one of those sitting on a shelf! Someone on eBay seems to have a metric fuckton of these things for $50 a whack. 17 left as of my comment.

Unfortunately... yeah, they're all stuck in the useless Esper management still if you factory default them away from whatever weird factory test app they're in. Care to throw us a little bone? ;)
