I just made this Python mini-game with ChatGPT and Python. You can try the game on your local machine easily by running pip install pygame and pasting the following code into a Python file “game.py“, followed by running python game.py. Here’s a screenshot before I give you the code: If you need help with any … Read more
You can engage with LLMs in three ways: If you’re using a hosted or embedded solution, you’ll sacrifice privacy and security because your chat will be sent to an external server doing inference, i.e., asking the model to give an output. But if the data is on the external server, they have complete control of … Read more
