That’s crazy.

Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.

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.

I am personally a huge fan of taking advantage of wealthy people.

You don’t really have iPhone 16 pro Max and Air pods money to throw away like this without having a one sided relationship with labor, in my opinion.

But that’s my cynical leftist view.

I imagine the biggest reason to not keep it is fear of your son getting spoiled or demanding gifts from you that are this same caliber.

However, he is 16. Certainly not the most rational age for many people, but he can understand the difference in financial statuses between you and his friend.

I think it would be distressing for you to take away this expensive thing on the grounds of “we’re too poor to have nice things” especially since it was a gift from his best friend. But having that discussion of “hey don’t let that get to your head. I still love you I just could not afford such an expensive gift. Here’s a vague breakdown of our expenses”

My dad had a similar discussion with me when I was getting ready to go to college the first time and he flat out told me how much he and mom made and broke down where the money goes. It really helped me understand our economic position instead of just assuming my parents made a good amount of money (they didn’t)

Very Greg shaped guy

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 think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS

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.

Israel has a history of ostracising those they deem “cowards” in society.

Just look into how they remembered the Holocaust and how they treated the survivors.

I both hope those brave soldiers stay in Israel to lead a change and hope they don’t let the state crush them with the gleeful support of the fascist civilian population.

From your user name to the link joke.

This is a real master piece

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my fiance, it’s that there’s both nothing wrong with a piece of media being for younger audiences and theres nothing wrong with consuming stuff meant for younger audiences.

Shit, Prodigy is endlessly shilled by folks on Mastodon with 18+ only in their banners.

This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.

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.

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?

Linux everywhere and then Windows VM labeled “Shitty Spyware Do Not Open”

I already get 8-10 hours of active use out of my T14. Who wants to do more stuff for longer without a dedicated space for it?

I get sick of coffee shop stuff after like 3 hours.

That’s so much of IT. They’re paying for me to get a degree but I already have the job. So it’s obvious it’s just a status symbol.
