• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not expensive for me to run a local LLM, I just use the hardware I’m already using for gaming. Electricity is cheap and most people with a gaming PC probably use more electricity gaming than they would running their own LLM and asking it some questions.

  I don’t personally know the monetary cost of running one of these things locally, and I should be more informed before I make sweeping statements.

  I’m also against shoving AI in evening, and not making it Opt-In. I’m also worried about privacy and concentration of power etc.

  Then we are on the same page

  But just outright saying LLMs are bad is rediculous.

  I didn’t say that, in fact I said that I didn’t have a problem with them as a concept, go back to the previous point for a reason why someone might have instant dislike of “AI”

  And saying there is no good reason to use them is rediculous. Can we stop doing that.

  I also didn’t say that. I just said your examples weren’t good uses of it. I happen to think that there are very good applications for this technology, but none of those are publicly available GenAI slop and soulless automation systems/assistants that are really just corporate spyware to collect advertising data.

  If you want a “smart home” with voice commands because it make you feel like Tony Stark talking to Jarvis go right ahead, but don’t pretend that your locally run LLM is what people are talking about when they level criticism against “AI” (or even if they just say ‘AI bad’)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to live your life like that, go for that’s your choice. But I don’t think those applications are worth the cost of running an LLM. To be honest I find it frivolous.

  I’m not against LLMs as a concept, but the way they get shoved into everything without thought and without an “AI” free option is absurd. There are good reasons why people have a knee-jerk anti-AI reaction, even if they can’t articulate it themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can run a small LLM locally which I can talk to using voice to turn certain lights on and off, set reminders for me, play music etc.

  Neat trick, but it’s not worth the headache of set up when you can do all that by getting off your chair and pushing buttons. Hell, you don’t even have to get off your chair! A cellphone can do all that already, and you don’t even need voice commands to do it.

  Are you able to give any actual examples of a good use of an LLM?

  If you can’t see why people don’t like AI slop, you are either in denial or completely oblivious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Upset about progress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact: Reddit is the same as here, and so is everywhere else on the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Upset about progress⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mad about this are you, OP?

  The answer to the question you avoided is: nothing. Nothing would be lost.

  And no, I don’t like the plagiarism machine that makes shit up half the time. Lots of others feel similarly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I won against AT&T⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is lost from this story if you remove all mention of ChatGPT?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I won against AT&T⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This might be an entertaining story if not for the off putting mentions of ChatGPT. Like, why even mention it? At best it adds nothing and at worst it makes people not like you. This reads like a shitty ad for something now.

  Drawings aren’t people. Trump is a rapist and you are a fucking idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I tell 2 people, and they tell 2 people, and so on, and so on.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So which is it? You understand that comics aren’t real, or you don’t and think the above image is somehow from CSAM? You’re either an idiot or a troll.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I tell 2 people, and they tell 2 people, and so on, and so on.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the bit here is that cm0002 likes to read child fucking comics.

  Care to elaborate on what you meant by that? It sure seemed like you were accusing OP of something untoward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I tell 2 people, and they tell 2 people, and so on, and so on.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Talk about absolutely sidelining the topic.

  Yes, you did. My initial question to you remains unanswered, so I had to guess at what you meant. You’re free to clarify at any time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I tell 2 people, and they tell 2 people, and so on, and so on.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you implying that all anime and manga are somehow CSAM? Because if you are, I don’t think you understand what you’re talking about.

  Two things:

  1. Anime and Manga are not genres, they are a medium.
  2. Drawings aren’t people. If I draw a person being decapitated, I haven’t done a murder.

  I would prefer if all genAI were so obvious. Makes it easier to avoid.

  I don’t care, it’s a Nazi website. I won’t use a Nazi website. I don’t care if the Nazi website is the best website that has or ever will be made. I won’t use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blessed my eyes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess this artist doesn’t want me to follow them, because I’m not making an account on the Nazi website.

  Please take not of the symbol on the bag in that image. It indicates that the plastic bag is not recyclable. Not all plastics are recyclable, and also I banged your dad, you can call me Dad2 if you like.
