Or ask Amazon about US-EAST-2 going down several years ago. Or how about when Cloudflare goes down?

Oh no doubt. Gotta train those sociopaths to manipulate better.

It's a guide on how to begin self hosting, with the ultimate goal of lessoning dependence on centralized big tech owned websites. Lemmy/Piefed is an example of a citizen owned decentralized platform, which we need more of.

As if one could break out of the bubble with tech bro "media"

Those two, it's just that the Visagoths are the first to come to mind when thinking of over centralized structures. Fuckers fell like wet cardboard to the Muslims as soon as their king died, the only hold out being the more autonomous mountainous regions in the North of Iberia.

I think, this will only apply to revolution they find safe, somewhere far away. Of course, greed may win and then they would broadcast engaging content

They are too embarrassed to admit a fail, and double down to own the others, definitely a useful strategy everyone successful uses

Good point. I’m not a Christian, but I always found Pascal’s Wager vaguely blasphemous. Like, don’t hedge your bets with God… He can tell 😂

The Michael Richards strategy

A revolution is not a shitposting party. It is an act of violence wherein one class replaces another

Big Tech nor Big Media.

But all the people are only on big tech.

You can host a small LLM model with a phone, or a whisper or a TTS, maybe some light diffusion.

You cannot do tool use, reasonable coding, get non-hallucination answers on even moderate questions. That stuff starts to get viable around 24G and really needs closer to 200G to be able to do most of that they're doing.

the reason they bought up all the ram is to keep someone from buying 200G of vram and diying cards putting them out of business.

Right, I just think okay, let's say a superintelligent AI does come into being and decides to retroactively judge everyone with maximum prejudice. Do you actually have a use for people with no self-respect? Smart money says such a being is totally self-sufficient, and has no time for anybody boring or tedious.

The revolution will not be tweeted.

I think this is a happy side effect to them.

I'm of the general opinion that it's when a company decides to go public and issue stock is when it's lost. Once a company's governance is beholden to stockholders and the board of directors it becomes only a matter of time before it's garbage.

Oh god no

Thank you.

I read this as about general social media, not LLMs.

LLMs, I agree the at-home hardware is pricey and not super competitive right now. Plenty of frontier models that are kept from the public, with VC-discounted rates because the IPO hasn't dropped yet. (If you're expecting a market crash, this is going to get much better fairly soon. In the mean-time, subscriptions are probably more cost effective than just buying the hardware at old prices would have been.)

I see a lot of shitposts about violence tho.

I agree on a cultural level; but this feels like a choice? An older PC isn't that far away from phones on price. We're not so far from folks moving to services at home, tech barriers have dropped considerably, prices are likely to do the same, and big tech just keeps giving people good reasons to do so.
