With AI being so topical these days I recently started to played around with stable diffusion, via the InvokeAI project (https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/) - I'm hoping to write up a blog my experiences but the TL;DR is that InvokeAI is a pretty slick project. I was also playing around with GitHub Action self-hosted runners (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners) and was pretty impressed by how easy it was to install and use. Anyone else tinkering around with something? I've been meaning to further look into Rust and WebAssembly but haven't found the time to get back into it.How do we prepare our kids for jobs that don’t exist?
