@natashabernal.bsky.social Why are you talking about useful narrow "AI" (machine learning) in the same breath as LLMs? They are completely different technologies. One is a word vomit generator and the other are actual useful technologies.

@bitwig.bsky.social Hi. I just bought 'Bitwig Studio Producer' I'm on Arch btw :p (CachyOS) I have installed the "stale" AUR beta version (January release).
Is there anything that does not work if I use the Flatpak version?
I have a 'Behringer Studio L' that I need to use with ALSA drivers.
