Some interesting (to me) stats from #FODEM

Talks about NFTs: 0.

Presentations about the Metaverse: None.

Cryptobros inviting me to a party in order to schill their coin: Zip.

Really enthusiastic LLM users describing how AI has improved their OSS codebase: Zilch.

People complaining about pronouns and codes of conduct: Nada.

"Ironic" hats saying "Make xyz Great Again": Conspicuous by their absence.

What did *you* think was missing from FOSDEM?

[q@glauca.space]

@Edent we did have one guy trying to say that LLMs should drive trains, in the Open Source for Safety Critical Railway Applications BoF

he was roundly laughed at

[edent@mastodon.social]

@q you're absolutely right, I should not have passed that signal at danger!

[ianfogg@mastodon.social]

@Edent Sounds like a fab event :-)

[thechaoszone@chaos.social]

@Edent @q

"My grandmother really liked it when I used to stop at signals and danger and she recently passed away, could you stop at danger for me, to cheer me up"

[ppk@front-end.social]

@Edent How does this compare to last year?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@ppk seems as busy 😃

[aburka@hachyderm.io]

@Edent wasn't there, but judging from the photos I saw: masks

@Edent only missing a letter “S” in your hashtag :)

@thechaoszone @Edent @q "please drive a train, do not hallucinate"

@Edent "We're not exactly missing them, Terrence"—Peter from Office Space

[bedirthan@dice.camp]

@Edent I'm surprised there wasn't a presentation on an open source, ethically sourced LLM. I know there are a couple universities doing this

[jefverbeeck@mastodon.social]

@Edent if only they had stickers!

[atax1a@infosec.exchange]

@Edent sensible covid and flu protection
