General Kenobi

(I can’t help)

For simply productivity like Copilot or Text Gen like ChatGPT.

It absolutely is doable on a local GPU.

Source: I do it.

Sure I can’t do auto running simulations to find new drugs and protein sequencing or whatever. But it helps me code. It helps me digest software manuals. That’s honestly all I want

Also, massive compute projects for the @home project are good?

Local LLMs runs fine on a 5 year old GPU, a 3060 12 gig. I am getting performance on par with cloud ran models. I’m upgrading to a 5060ti just because I wanted to play with image Gen.

Whack. I just set up a Forgejo too.

Which is funny since that does solve a lot of the problems.

If it’s completely open source at least.

Like OS data sets and model that can be ran locally means it’s not trained on stolen data and it’s not spying on people for more data.

And if it runs locally on a GPU, it’s no worse for the environment than gaming. Really the big problem with the data center compute is the infrastructure of getting that data around.

Weird. There used to be screen shot receipts I saw years ago.

Maybe she scrubbed it and turned a leaf? I hope so at least because B’Elanna was my favorite character.

That’s crazy.

Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.

I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.

I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.

I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.

$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.

It’s not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references

Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B’Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).

All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with “both sides” arguments.

It’s sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.

Gotta protect those Video Game movie deals.

Don’t wanna risk that Ganon cast in the Zelda Movie

Despite everything. I was considering giving it a try, just to see.

But your right, if there’s a CSAM community on there I would inevitably host it to.

So I will not be trying plebbit

Homie, you used 4chans logo in your shitty nft drops

I think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS

I just assume anything that promises free stuff on Instagram reels is in fact a scam or a hack.

Also I’m not getting on that shit site to confirm it’s true.

Israel has a history of ostracising those they deem “cowards” in society.

Just look into how they remembered the Holocaust and how they treated the survivors.

I both hope those brave soldiers stay in Israel to lead a change and hope they don’t let the state crush them with the gleeful support of the fascist civilian population.

Dunno how big they are. Might be a technical disconnect between the PR person and the devs.

I can excuse a marketing person making this whoopsie, but a dev? Come on you 100% saw the copypasta

There’s a reason they tell you NOT to use a knife in a self defense scenario. It is nearly impossible to defend especially if you kill the attacker.

I think you statistically have a better chance of getting away with “executioner style” shots with a gun than knife use in self defense.

Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.

That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies

My avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.

I’m used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn’t happened on Lemmy ever lol.

Lots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.

There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.
