Ah okay. Well if you grab either of those programs I linked to it’s pretty straightforward, you pretty much just choose your model from a list and away you go. You can run them even if you don’t have a great GPU, but they’ll be slower.
TBH I don’t really believe anything NASA says when it comes to stuff like this. It’s basically been ~5 years away from going back to the moon and ~20 years from going to Mars for my entire life, and I’m not a young person.
That’s essentially what I do, I don’t have any accounts with ChatGPT or anything, I just run it locally off my laptop. IDK if you get better results with ChatGPT (I’d assume probably) but my local one seems fine for everything I need it for. It’s a little slow too, but who cares?
My take on it is that it’s just a tool, and as with most tools you can use it in a sensible way that’s positive, although many people choose not to. So as an example, I work in a creative field and I see a lot of people relying on it to do their creative work for them, which I don’t really agree with. What I use it for is kind of like an assistant to handle all the admin crap that usually gets in the way of doing creative stuff. So sometimes you have to write form letters, grant things etc. - basically formal stuff that wouldn’t require any creative thinking if you did it by yourself anyway, but still eats up time and brain power. I just give that stuff to the AI, make sure it sounds vaguely presentable, and send it off. I could also see a use case for it in areas where I’m weaker like marketing my stuff, maybe for at least coming up with an outline strategy of some sort, although I haven’t really tried that out yet.
Essentially, AI will do your creative stuff for you if you let it, or you can just use it to handle the day-to-day piddly crap to free yourself up to do the creative stuff yourself. It’s up to you really.
Yeah I’m a dumbass and I hate him too
Damn, that sucks. I’m sick of the US being ruled by a cabal of demented fascists and listening to the spineless traitors who are enabling them complaining about being expected to do the bare minimum of their fucking jobs, maybe there’s a common solution to all this?
Smashing Pumpkins - Thru The Eyes Of Ruby, Bristol Academy 1996 is the ‘proper’ version of the song in my head now, the album version sounds weird lol
Canada here. In our house we’re still not buying anything American because their president threatened to invade and annex our country, and the government have yet to walk it back or even apologize. And even if the president of America did back off and say sorry, he’s a rapist and a pedophile so he can still go fuck himself.
I don’t think the powers-that-be in the US realize quite how much damage they’ve done to international relations lately. This isn’t the sort of thing they can just say sorry for and expect to go back to normal once Trump is dead and everyone is pretending they didn’t enable him for the last decade.
I played through exactly one full game, and it just felt… pointless, I guess? Like I was just clicking through turns to get to the end and none of it mattered. Then it told me I’d lost and was like “K” and then played Civ VI for a bit.
Here’s the thing: I obviously would not go out of my way to directly harm John Bolton. But he helped create this fascist system, and if it were currently ruining my life he wouldn’t help or even give a shit about me in the slightest. So fuck him. He shit in his own bed, now he can sleep in it.
As a non-American, this is definitely something that’s been an annoyance for as long as I can remember. Whenever the US decides it wants a war, every other country in the world is expected to join in (the “Coalition of the Willing” springs to mind) or else be bullied at best (Freedom Fries) or labelled an enemy at worst just for not wanting to spend huge amounts of resources and hundreds/thousands of lives on a war that’s nothing to do with them.
But then when it comes to any sort of international agreement that would benefit everyone such as the Paris Climate Agreement, the Ottawa Treaty, the Rome Statute of the ICC, or the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, guess who doesn’t step up?
The US seems to want all the power of being the World Police, without any responsibility towards the stewardship of the planet. They could pretty much get away with it so far IMO because they were so powerful, but now that the political system there seems to be falling apart, who knows? I am certain though that if things continue to get worse and the US faces a serious crisis like another civil war or something, they’ll find a way to make it everybody else’s problem as well.
I don’t want to share my old reddit name but I got this:
Your Reddit comments are so consistently ‘removed because of killing 3rd party apps,’ we’re starting to think you’re less a user and more a digital ghost haunting the ruins of old Reddit. Dedication, or just stubbornness?
Phew lol
Yeah I was gonna say, she’s 85 and has insider traded her way to a net worth of ~$250 million. No wonder she’s like yeah fuck it lol.
A while back I heard someone describe LLMs as a magic 8-ball with infinite answers that uses math to nudge it towards the answer you want.
On the plus side, I have removed myself as a problem for them. You’re welcome, Ubisoft!
Oh I was just making a joke reference lol.
I’ve been saying for a while that George W. Bush was the one who sold the doors and windows to the house. Trump is just the inevitable crack head that climbed in and started living on the sofa.
As a non-American, I can say that amongst the people I know it was the re-election of Trump that really did it. The first time you could write off as an anomaly - he managed to fool enough people at just the right time or something like that, and then you guys got rid of him after a single term. Pretty bad but shit happens.
But then after that he showed everyone exactly who he was for eight years straight and then he got in again. And since then he’s really been ramping it up to insane levels of fascist nonsense and nobody’s kicked him out or even made a serious run at removing him from power yet. When I talk to people the vibe is very much “What the hell is going on over there?”
TBH I don’t know why he wasn’t over as soon as the “Grab 'em by the pussy” tape was leaked. I feel like that would have tanked most candidates.
Also, the word doublespeak isn’t from Orwell. In Nineteen Eighty-Four he used the term Newspeak, meaning a sort of clipped form of language designed to limit expression of thought, and doublethink, the practice of holding two contradictory thoughts at the same time and believing both to be true, but he never used the word doublespeak.
Interestingly though, it actually predates Nineteen Eighty-Four, but nobody really knows who coined it exactly.
