@evan my employer will pay for pretty much any tools one can think of and yeah. for a quick "hey should this fail and panic!() and crash everything according to the docs" llms are (mostly) great
not so great when the thing i'm trying to do is niche and/or specific to the [in-house] libraries we use, but considering the main offender is mostly a thin api wrapper around an opensource c thing it manages more or less fine
would i want the whole "ai" industry to go up in flames without any hope for recovery? yeah
am i gonna take everything my BigTechCorpInc. employer will give me? also yeah
tho now that i think about it, maybe i could ask them for a 128gb ram mac mini or smth as a one-time purchase as an ollama server instead of the subscriptions
