"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

AI can be self hosted trivially.
Trivially - if you have already spent a fortune on a gaming pc that is.
No. You're talking about training.
Running is trivial. Firefox does local offline translations with AI models that run fine on very shitty old computers without any GPU
This is not about text, but images, 3d models and video. The workload of those is not comparable to the workload of text generation.
Yo, dude, spend your electricity on mining BitCoins instead. That shit is no doubt useless, yet more useful than AI slop.
