I could use some help in naming this thing. It is a mutable, stateful object. It will keep growing in size and responsibilities for many years to come. It's current primary function is converting formula to excrement, but hopefully it will get better capabilities soon. The first version is called Cassandra, but we haven't come up with a name for this one yet.. 😬

Looks like a "Melissa" to me.. But wife disagrees 🤷

converting formula to excrement

Oh crap, that's a shitty problem! 😬

[Emil Kantis]

Yeah.. It has great side effects though!

All I can see is a bio reactor right now, but it will one day be very good at solving captchas. 🙂

With the right training data these things also get very good at image recognition. I also have some first hand experience on that. Keep it, they're quite fun to tinker with. 😉

[Emil Kantis]

Yeah, we noticed that v1 is getting quite good at it already. We're having some weird production issues with this one right now however.. It keeps creating alerts in the middle of the night for hours on end. 🚨 😴

[Stefan Oltmann]

Yeah, that's normal for the prototype. It get's better over time as the system learns when it's appropriate to set off alarms and when not. Expect three years. 🙂

ya'll need help 🤣

With more training data it’ll also learn NLP and how to respond, wait and see!
