So like, another open source competitor to LM Studio and OpenWebUI? Roadmap lists Ollama support. Honestly, this is pretty cool. I’m not sure what all the whinging in this thread is about. Are y’all mad because it’s AI related? This is specifically a tool for you to use AI without needing to pay the data centers or the proprietary enterprise AI companies… Self hosting an LLM is exactly what we should be doing with it.

I had a forklift certification and got a job at an ewaste recycling facility moving pallets of equipment meant for refurbishment and resale. That job had a lot of down time so when I wasn’t moving the equipment I took up working on the computers, then the laptops, then the servers. I got so good at it that they gave me an ITAD client to handle. It was military servers that had been decommissioned. My job was to identify and sanitize/destroy any data storage before refurbishing the equipment to be resold at a profit share with the organizations I was working with.

IT is a super broad field. Many IT jobs just want you to have some certification level to get into (no degree required) or some number of years in similar work. My first “IT” adjacent position, I secured because I had a forklift license. Some IT positions want you to have bachelor’s or higher in a specific IT niche.

I like to tell some of my clients, that I’m like a general physician, I can tell you what’s wrong, fix quite a few things, prescribe fixes for the bigger issues, and refer you to specialists for things I have no business touching.

The phone makers want your data just as much as the government does. Data is money and power.

I think they intend to IPO this year and need to slow the hemorrhaging funds quickly to be more appealing to the stock market.

Move it to precious metals or assets that historically average flatter value through crashes. The dollar is highly volatile in economic crisis.

The dollar generally went further than the four years after he left office and that was his entire campaign selling point for the vast majority of Americans. “Remember when things were affordable right before the pandemic? And then Joe Biden took office and things were more expensive?”

But obviously the affordability of day to day life had very little to do with Biden’s policy and more to do with global trajectory and many of Biden’s policies did slow the approach to today’s economy. And Trump really just strapped a rocket engine to the economy in the direction of late stage capitalism once he was back in office.

Almost like he just sorta, lied to them… Like he always has…

The goal is to evenly distribute the wealth such that everyone has what they need to survive and then if you still have enough wealth left over (if the wealthy class were dismantled we would), you make sure everyone has enough to be comfortable. You take the business assets and you share ownership with the people working in those businesses. You establish democratic structures inside those businesses such that the workers choose who is in charge and what everyone is paid. Any amount of money an individual makes is supplemental to basic income that pays for your needs. Establish a wealth cap such that if your income exceeds it, the funds are distributed back down to the needs of society. Things like education and medicine could be entirely funded through excess earnings and a proper tax structure. A wealth cap means that oppressive amounts of liquid funds can’t be used to control people or lobby governments.

These are very very basic ideas. Not at all difficult to wrap your head around. And people are angry because we are constantly being told by the boots on our necks that it won’t work and that’s why we won’t even try. But in reality, the reason we won’t try is because the wealthy will lose their massive wealth. Wealth that most of them lucked into. This has nothing to do with how hard you work or how smart you are. It has everything to do with who is in control and who is not.

Im just here to read all the complaints about the name.

It’s not a strawman unless you can prove that there is no single person that believes chatgpt would wonder what happened to them.

If you’re confused about the down votes, it’s probably the way you worded this thought. Saying it’s a man identifying as a woman, implies you believe they are a man not a woman and are only treating them as a woman because that’s what they want. In reality they are a woman who identifies as a woman.

I think you being downvoted and not getting an explanation as to why might leave you to continue the same line of thinking without correction.

It’s not a bad question to ask how this will affect trans women though. I live in a place where there are a lot of TERF women who might want to take advantage of this service and would be offended to be picked up by a trans woman.

I don’t feel this way about discord communities I’m in. Maybe you should join smaller discord communities and actually make friends there. Hoping into a small group chat every once in a while to chat and make jokes or plan a dnd session or whatever. Does t need to be more than 10ish people to be enjoyable.

God damn these comments are bleak.

Maybe. That’s certainly not my field of experience. But LLMs will never produce thought the way a human brain does. Certainly not without substantial change in how the tech functions fundamentally.

Large language models are not intelligent. They are predictive text applications with massive dictionaries of circumstantial sentence structures to choose from. Nothing more. They do not feel and do not think for themselves. The only time they do anything is when the API calls them to produce more text with an updated context string.

Ah, the Mr Bean approach.

But they can cook

Just go into the store. They’ll sign you up.
