You can use a fan app to ramp up how fast the fans spin instead of the default so you can prevent any throttling

I knew this would happen, the future of AI, is ads, lots of them. This isn’t the end, there will be more added on soon

I wonder if it’s because hardware costs are going up

The insurance companies should allow for dental or medical tourism. Let’s put the people who haven’t had to compete globally get a chance to. If you have enough money you can do it yourself but that doesn’t help poor folks

Local llm is so important to avoid ads, because the future of AI is tons of ads

At this rate, local llm will be banned. Hope we have the torrents and archives ready

They are ok for simple stuff, coding is weak, chat is alright, writing is ok. But I had many of them write stories for ideas and they kept using the same names regardless of what the story was about. I can’t complain, it’s free. Can’t wait till they get even better, but for local image generation they are good, slow but just create a bunch in the background while you do other things otherwise it’s like 14.4k modems

Is that any different than the KKK that burn crosses and say they are Christian, yet hate others

Just like we can’t allow Chinese EVs in the USA, because we can’t and don’t want to compete.

VPN usage would go up, to get the banned models.

I agree but we are dependent mostly on Chinese models at this point to pull it off.

Keep dreaming, we are in hyper capitalism mode, ebshitification, etc. They just spent weeks of government time state and national worrying about people on food stamps buying candy or coke, to save pennies, they watch the poor like a damn hawk but let millionaires rape children in the biggest pedo ring in history.

I think open source AI could cause it. I hope local AI takes over but this government will probably ban it.

They’d probably pay someone to do the work for them, like drive the truck while they sit in the cab.

It’s a nice wish, but we don’t have that kind of power and they won’t put themselves in a situation like that by making a bill then voting on it. The fatal flaw of the constitution is it has no ethics or morals baked in, it should have things in there like employee handbooks do with a specification that amendments cannot change. Again wishful thinking.

That’s what I was wondering, lm studio and draw things are easy to use apps that handle much of the cruft for you

Reminds me a teacher lived thriftily in life and donated 2 or 3 million to a school in his will when he died. The school used it to buy a state of the art high school football scoreboard.

Then just make an extension to manipulate this, ad nauseam already exists for ads

The future of AI is ads, free will have lots of ads and eventually go away. Low paid tier will have a few ads, the $2000 tier no ads.

I just hope local llms keep getting better and ways to make them run faster on consumer devices improves
