Whack. I just set up a Forgejo too.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

I’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.

It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev

Makes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.

New Player: “My Wizard casts fireball targeting the king!”

Me: “Actually that doesn’t happen y-”

NP: “Did a hidden wizard cast counter spell! I can-”

Me: “No I just won’t let you do that. Try to ruin our game again and I’ll ban you from the discord.”

Np: “Oh.”

An AI project that’s ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain’t so!

Checked the videos you posted

This is just a ChatGPT front end isn’t it?

More I’m even more curious what you’re doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO

Okay so it’s something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.

How is it processing the data?

Where am I getting the data?

What is it doing to the data?

Who is paying me for processed data?

That’s not a bad call.

There’s fortunately pretty tech literate people at both locations. I can walk them through most of it with very little a long the lines of finger puppets and crayons.

That’s me! Gotta love Spectrum baby!

I actually got into this because I used to have sporadic hour+ long Internet outages when I was trying to watch all of Star Trek.

15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.

My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he’s recovering from surgery and I’m at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it’s only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.

Hell yeah

I already have a stack of Optiplex 30XX SFF PCs. It would be cheaper spending the $100-$200 for a high capacity HDDs TBH. And the idea is that I manage the content on it from my own 30tb store.

12-16tbs of TV and movies is kind of a lot lol.

Is it pretty easy to set up on a CLI?

I’d want to do that if possible.
