Comment on Why making pretend people with AGI is a waste of energy
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 months agoWhat I want is a personal assistant that knows me extremely well, is able to tirelessly work on my behalf, and has a personality tailored to my needs and interests.
and you’re not concerned at all about this information being compromised and used against you?
phew…

Of course I'm concerned about it. That's why I would take measures to ensure the information is well protected. I already run local LLMs and image generators for most of the stuff I use AI for, both to ensure that I have control over what sort of outputs they generate and to keep any inputs I run through them private. An AGI assistant like what I'm describing is something I would want to run on my own hardware too.

Do you really think you’ll be able to run a full fledged, real-feeling AGI on home hardware?
Perhaps an assistant, maybe…
but good on you for forethought.

Yes, I do. Perhaps not the current generation of hardware, but the chip manufacturers are currently throwing hundreds of billions of dollars into designing the next generation of AI-specialized hardware so I expect the next generation to be very impressive. The software has also been getting more efficient, making better use of the hardware that already exists. I've been experimenting a lot with it.
