I have avoided AI (LLMS) because it didn’t seem nearly useful enough to warrant supporting these tech assholes. Is there anyway to use it locally on a normal device (16 Gb ram, 8 year old Geforce graphics, etc?). Can I just slow it down and get it to work locally?


Simply: don’t be a dick and don’t use AI. Using AI you’re commiting theft.
Such a drama queen. You don’t commit theft.
Don’t use the camera on your phone, it steals your soul!
If you are not using AI, you are getting used by AI.
Good. Nobody should have we’ve capitalized on the internet. It wasn’t a space to sell onlyfans and subscribe to comics about cats. Those people opened the door for every single capitalist who ruined every other space the ever existed. Turned it into a privacy hellscape that wants a picture of your asshole every time to want to sign up to your favorite artist weekly chance to sell you ads.
Fuck them
Burn it all to the ground. Steal everything. Share everything until people trying to capitalize online fuck off.
