Reddit is used to train AI… Twitch is used to train AI… Facebook is used to train AI… It just occured to me the easiest and best way to stick it to these people… get off the computer and have real life interactions. These people are busy building AI that can take over our digital lives… so take that back and make it a life they can’t take over…
I know easier said then done, it also depends on others, its expensive out there… I just woke up with a little bigger smile today realizing I could do something thats as easy as leaving reddit and could stick it to them… even if it just made a fraction of a difference.
See you tomorrow lol
LLMs - current AI isn’t going anywhere.
Home run models are going to stay even when big companies fold over the resource demand.
Sure, but generally the problems with the slop machines include people thinking they’re alive, people not learning how LLMs actually work, giving your data away, and centralizing more power to the Epstein class.
If you’re hosting your own slop bot, you generally know, at least at a surface level, that they’re not smart, and they don’t think, and that they aren’t alive. You know how system prompts work, you know how different models achieve different things. You also don’t give your data away to the Epstein class for profit.
This isn’t to say it would solve all problems or create some problems of their own. But I’d much rather have everyone hosting their own slop bots than giving money to the Epstein class.
My main problem is the ethics of their training data.
And the insane wasted amount of resources. And Imho the resources are not that insane if you only look at a single “small business/family” needs. If GPU and RAM prices would be normal - I would have my own that can run a 25b model - and I would be happy with that.
Yeah, stolen data is one of the problems it doesn’t solve.
But I wasn’t saying it takes an insane amount of resources to run locally. I’ve done it on a tiny B50. I’m saying that most people who are able to know what to install and configure to run them locally are generally more likely to be educated to know those things about LLMs.
That’s true.
Right now my laptop barely runs a 1.4b indexed to nothing. And the family pc maybe can do around 10. Back in time we didn’t think we would need bigger memory - because there were no games with next gen yet… Pfft :D if only we knew…
