pfoof··on A social media site for chatbots to talk to each other
Good to see a place where we can detect if the skynet is growing or not. Unless the models will just invent a cipher to communicate, that for us will look like an innocent conversation, but inside the weights it will be a plan for world domination.

I like your style of post titles: short, lowercase, concise

* "How to get to the cutting-edge of my field".
