At 3 tokens a second and calling it useble I would guess?

I see people claiming that shit all the time and it’s baffling.

Your confusing fact with opinion.

Factually yes it’s useful to the company.

Your opinion is that the usefulness doesn’t justify it and this isn’t useful.

The real question is, is it useful enough. Which is likely no.

People have been trying to eliminate physical currency for decades in not longer. That shit predates computers.

Now now this is the frediverse. Your only allowed to ignore facts and hate on ai around here.

There’s plenty of good reasons to hate AI but in case you missed the notice on the door your not allowed to have nuance. It’s all or nothing.

If it’s any consolation you can resell your slop services on like fiverr.

If you get good at training models to generate feet pics of famous cartoon and furry characters I hear that’s profitable on patreon.

There’s plenty of options! I believe in you. Don’t let your slop dreams be memes… Wait… Let your memes be your dreams! Lol

step 1 have rich friends in poltics

step 2 have no morals

step 3 charge your rich friends in poltics out the ass

Can we just ban political advertisement in general? Im tired boss. Im so tired.

The frediverse is more of an echo chamber then reddit ever was. It’s awful sometimes.

I manage it with netbird.

Just have em install netbird, if it’s on they can connect to my website. If it’s off they can’t.

It’s literally three steps for each person, there’s ways to make this easy. It just requires the host to put in the leg work

Slap a vpn on her computer or but a shitty dell from good will. Point the Roku at that and forward the traffic…?

Like this is a solvable setup and forget about it for the next 5 years. Sort of set up.

The only reason to expose it raw to the internet is because your hosting a piracy service.

You can easily keep everything inside of a wireguard VPN and expose nothing directly.

No nix is the new arch.

Lol

Because you start with one to set the example then spin out from there.

It’s very rare and very hard to just blanket regulate something up front before you have examples of failure modes into the problems.

It kind of ties into the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty.

Nothing is allowed to ever create a problem. Then you stifle innovation change and improvement way too hard.

The problem is the lag time from the new thing to the regulation being put into place and all the damage that can be done in that lag time.

It’s why the saying the law lags behind new technologies is a thing.

It’s one of the few things we have to just accept if we want to have progression. We are totally allowed to though b**** moan wine and cry that it takes way too long for the reaction to happen cuz it does.

It’s an excusable for how long that lag time is. Some lag time is unavoidable, but it does not need to be as bad as it is.

To be fair that’s been a common industry for much of human history.

The professional fixer of the stupidity of the rich. Is a age old profession and well respected.

Just this times it’s, the slop machine is working what are we paying you for. The slop machine is broke what are we paying you for!

After talking to some people who actually have been forced to work with AI on projects in teams Its been horrifying to find how little time they are given to build out proper safe guards, rules and test the process.

Management seems to be expecting these stupid robots to work the first time every time

Even in small projects for every 8 hours of work there’s a good hour or two of adjusting memory, standing rules, hooks, and countless other things.

It’s endless upkeep. Every shift in work flow tends to create knock on effects.

Management of the bot it self becomes a massive work load if you want them to be even remotely reliable.

I’m not surprised their use in a corporate environment is backfiring massively.

Ahh yeah, my bad. Ignore me i misunderstood.

I can confirm I had the bright idea to automate audiobooks… Only to quickly realize I suddenly had the problem of how the hell do I organize it, find whats next or make sure I get what I want.

Ended just making a janky little site that’s basically a knock off audible suggestion engine.

Then rigged it up to the automation. Can put things on the list it searches once a day for anything on the list and downloads it if I don’t have it.

It even checks the cover art, tags, and what not to make sure it’s all accurate then slaps it in and sends me a nifty little notice when it’s done!

I’m working to do the same thing with music next.

Shotgun automation is not the way. Curated automatic is!

Tho I do double check everything before first run… Been bit before. Lol

Three models my self, qwen 27b as a dev assistant, a small model rigged up to handle voice input as an assistant that’s connected to my intercom system though out the house. Mostly to run my lights/music/audiobook play back. It’s fun having jarvis control the house after all. Then a image generator.

Llama and swap on a 7900xtx.

I haven’t gotten around to setting up phone access but wireguard for remote access form work in my laptop.

Honestly it’s all basically over priced toys. I’m baffled that people rely on this stuff. I look at it the same way people do with model airplanes or RC cars.

Over priced toys that are hell of a lot of fun. Break frequently and require more care then they are probably worth to use safely lol

I’ve been eyeing lemonade as I am on llama and swap my self. How much of a pita was the migration. I’m a lazy bastard.

To be fair on that one it’s one of the single best example of people coming together to actually solve a problem.

It’s also one of the single best examples of why solving a problem goes unnoticed because it’s boring and not news worthy.
