proof Hairy Potter is real

The only real advantage of local AI is privacy and that it’s much cheaper if you use it a lot.

The only consumer use case I see in the wild with some real momentum behind it is role play.

All the local AI communities I browse are 50% people trying to find usecases for it at their job (like me; unsuccessfully I might add) and 50% people interested in role play.

People will apparently spend thousands to jerk off to a soulless machine demon simulacrum shell of a human.

To be fair, I can see the appeal of local AI for video games, like RPGs. There is this really fun game called “Suck Up”, where you are a vampire trying to convince AI to let you inside their house. That is the one real “killer” application I see atm.

I personally see a lot of other useful usecases for local AI, but from my experience at work, I would estimste it will take another 5 years until any of it is anywhere near consumer ready.

local AI is cool and all, but neither the hardware nor the models are really ready for your average consumer

someone must have painted it

crazy what these poor rats have to go through for our curiosity. now we even make them live in car dependent cities, oh the horror

MFW listening to kegel exercises:

why are you so interested in logs? are you like a lumberjack?

I’m so glad to see X as a service fail miserably everywhere

I’m afraid these are the people running the world

what in the Elon Musk is this

but like, good fire? 🥺👉👈

it’s just all stupid boring fentanyl candy every year, smh

this meme was last true 20 years ago

Maybe if they make a watch with a camera cover and a laser that draws a little box around what it can see and it all runs locally, then I might be interested.

Mainly to identify plants and mushrooms.

Not a fan of the idea of everyone pointing AI powered cameras at me all the time, like with this weird pin or smart glasses.

Such products should have a legally mandated camera cover, microphone shutoff and a REALLY OBVIOUS tell to everyone around you if you are using the camera or mic.

Bonus points if it screams a really loud “PERVERT” alarm if you’re doing something creepy.

If only that was true for smartphones too…

It is kind of interesting how open machine learning already is without much explicit advocacy for it.

It’s the only field I can think of where the open version is just a few months behind SOTA in all of IT.

Open training pipelines and open data are the only aspects that could still use improvements in ML, but there are plenty of projects that are near-SOTA and fully open.

ML is extremely open compared to consumer mobile or desktop apps that are always ~10 years behind SOTA

I regretfully know that woman

Did Viktor Schauberger post this?

reminds me of this bit:

“not only will america go to your country and kill all your people but they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.”

is it insensitive to the undead if I tell a joke calling him a boner?

what a crazy face. he looks like 50% old old money, 50% roman emperor, 50% old Nikola Tesla, plus another 50% I know but can’t quite put my finger on.

200% man
