@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems @juliank@mastodon.social @tris@chaos.social As a maintainer I can attest that LLMs drastically improve my workflow and work life balance. I have yet to find and area where they didn't help me greatly. I would love to exchange notes. Edit: this includes local models running on my laptop and my nvidia spark, as well as open and proprietary models operated by 3rd parties.

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems @juliank@mastodon.social @tris@chaos.social may I ask what is it about LLMs that goes against your philosophy?

@juliank@mastodon.social @tris@chaos.social @zygoon@fosstodon.org not interested. it isn't a lack of knowledge but a difference in philosophy. I solve my work-life balance by simply blocking out time on my calendar for my family.

@zygoon@fosstodon.org @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems @juliank@mastodon.social @tris@chaos.social Putting aside LLMs entirely: the only solution to work-life balance issues is banding together with your fellow workers to push back on your employers. Otherwise you're just experiencing a temporary gain from the lag between a change in output and your employer's expectations. You'll find yourself right back where you were in short order if you don't change the balance of power fundamentally. There are no technical solutions to that issue.
