I built a similar system, meanwhile I've sold one of the RTX 3090's. Local inference is fun and feels liberating, but it's also slow, and once I was used to the immense power of the giant hosted models, the fun quickly disappeared.

I've kept a single GPU to still be able to play a bit with light local models, but not anymore for serious use.

That was the vibe I was getting when visiting the site, they seem to understand fear pretty well. Stay away for your own mental health :-)

Brave also exhibits this behavior, turning off shields fixes the issue.

I have more issues with self control on my computer than on my smartphone. Anyone's got any tips for that one?

If a lot of very smart people didn’t find a single example in all the years knot theory has existed, it obviously is not that obvious.

Google is a corporation maximizing shareholder value. That this goal is not aligned with serving the greater good and freedom should come as no surprise.

What China is to the US, the US is to the rest of the world. This doesn't really help the conversation, the problem is more general.

I don't know how it will go in practice, but next to the obvious mass surveillance by the EU itself, the EU also has a couple of Russian vasal states in its ranks. Great idea you guys!

I’m bothered by the clunky/unrealistic movement of game characters and wonder how hard it would be to fix.
