The presentation is quite funny, I wonder wha-
Welp. I’m out.
People need to learn the different between (AI) LLM and the AI workhorses known as Machine Learning that have been doing the real heavy lifting for decades.
I know we all hate AI, but we’re actually angry at generative LLMs. The kind of “AI” that Immich uses is a classifier and is absolutely not the same as ChatGPT.
They should have made this clear in their video.
Their usage is basically just the same old machine learning that’s existed for ages, long before the genAI bubble started. They really should avoid the buzzword for accuracy’s sake but it’s far removed from all the LLM generative dogshit.
This is an excellent clarification, thanks.
Fuck LLMs, though.
That was my understanding, that Immich and PaperlessNGX run AI locally on your machine. That’s why the server PC sounds like a fighter jet ready to take off for hours on end when a large library is first added.
I would assume its a clip embedder not a classifier and the search is simply finding the closest vectors to the search term?
Not everybody.
I hate AI that is corporate/state spying that requires contestant constant internet access while burning fossil fuels and raising the cost of PC components.
I love the AI that can help me find photos of my son using my ancient thinkstation that was already old when I got second hand.
AI/ML have so broad definitions that they can encompass many things. The technologies arent bad, the problems are Capitalism and Autocracies.
(Read the room, dude!)
Not trying to be confrontational in the least. but I am fully aware and autonomous. I thought you guys weren’t down with group think?
Fully aware and autonomous? Sounds like AI talk to me…
Your in the one comment chain talking about hating AI, but that’s group think?
No, your just a contrarian.
I commented on ONE comment…not the whole thread.
However, if I am a contrarian because I have contrary core values, beliefs, and opinions, then vive la différence! Hope you had a great thanksgiving day if you do participate. If not, hope you had a wonderful day where ever you are.
The AI is just image and object recognition and tagging. It’s very powerful (even runs on CPU in docker) and useful. No LLMs here.
Okay, you’re missing out on one of the best new self hosted services because of a knee jerk reaction in that case.
Futo’s CEO being a alt right piece of shit is a better reason.
To my knowledge the Immich devs arent, but yeah.
I didn’t down vote ya but, I am quite certain that if we knew all the little idiosyncrasies, personal core values, or private lives of both open source and closed source software devs, teams, sponsors, equipment manufacturers, components, et al, we’d probably never turn on our computers. I mean, I get it, you are free to make choices. I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, until the dev teams start writing that into their software, I’m ok with them being an alt right piece of shit. It’s kind of like, I enjoy Ted Nugent’s music. It comes up in my playlist every so often. I can’t stand his political stance, but I am able to separate the two without condoning his political core beliefs. Gosh, if I were to listen to only those artists that align with my core beliefs, it’d be a mighty slim playlist. ymmv
Its always amazing how people defend platforming, at best, a white supremacist.
Also, that’s fair from the only complaint in that post with receipts.
Just look at other comment chains replied to you.
No, I am not defending anyone or anything.
It is the easiest thing to give freedom and equality to those we like. It’s much, much harder to give freedom and equality to those we don’t like.
Yes you are defending it, by saying it’s okay.
You should look up the tolerance paradox.
Tl;Dr the ONE thing a tolerant society must be intolerant of is intolerance itself.
I don’t care about your opinions on a lot of things. But intolerance of people for inherit traits is the one thing I don’t stand for.
Is there any other info on this besides drew devault’s blog post?
It has links in it. I’d recommend starting with them.
Here is grapheneOS talking about how Futo fucked them over, from the article as an example:
https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113443396794247106
OK, thanks.
Not really that helpful, it’s just more he said/she said.
Grapheneos is a pretty poor choice of example, it has its own issues, they have conflicts with many others (see France pullout), they have openly fought with Murena, e/os, fairphone, among others. Plus, grapheneos likes to throw shade on “less permissive licenses”, which is really weird, considering they use an MIT license, whose loose terms is abused by many not-so-great companies.
The lead of grapheneos is just as controversial as futo, gets into public spats with others, generally difficult to work with, etc.
I say this using GrapheneOS myself.
I’m not a fan of the Curtis Yarvin association, though.
The people running these companies aren’t perfect. Sometimes they aren’t ideal, either. But I’d rather use Immich than Google photos and heliboard than Swiftkey.
Feel free to draw whatever line or excuse whatever behavior however you like.
At this point I would prefer to support the Immich devs directly without Futos involvement, but thats likely not possible.
It is actually really useful
You can search mountains and have mountains show up
Didn’t work for me. I don’t have any pictures of mountains, though.
You should get some, they are rad
Lol then try to search for something you have
What if I don’t have anything?
In that case, search nothing and everything you have will come up.
This actually work
Or if something has the word “mountian” it’ll come up.
It’s classification AI not generative AI. Basically smart tagging. And it’s optional. Super helpful though and runs locally on your machine.
Immich’s use of AI is arguably one of the most suitable cases for the technology and it runs entirely on your own device. I get the hate for AI but this ain’t it
Look I hate AI as much as the next guy and I have it enabled in my Immich instance. It’s been really handy.

It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.
Ohhhh ok. Gotcha.
