Yar har, fiddle dee dee, being a pirate is alright with me!

My take: Run what you want on your own damn hardware. If you feel the need to make it a ‘service’ in order to run it, think very carefully about WAY more than just the money it will cost you to do so. If you feel the need to take a massive IOU to buy the hardware or LAND to put that hardware, go die in a hole. If you feel the need to reserve the world’s entire manufacturing supply for hardware to put on the land you put out an IOU for, I sincerely hope that you get a pineapple up the ass as you’re getting beheaded in whatever town square.

I feel like you haven’t READ a single one of mine.

If there’s any kind of medication, I’ve tried it. Ask my GP and my ENT doctors.

Tell that to the antifungal shampoo and face wash I was prescribed that did nothing to help.

I do not dream of labor.

LLMs regardless are awful. Running whatever model on your own hardware is fine, but it depends on if what you’re doing with it is creative or not. Writing, art, etc. are out of the question. Help with coding, pattern recognition on a large subset of data, etc. is fine and isn’t too far from stuff we used to use for those purposes anyways.

The issue at the end of the day isn’t AI. It’s where and how it’s used and, on a larger scale, what markets and environments are thrown into disarray because of idiots.

I tried some a few months ago and it’s the only thing that’s ever worked for my scalp, but it does nothing for my face or ears. I’ll have to try your solution.

Hell, I can grow a decently thick beard, but it never grows past maybe three inches, which means it’s very unevenly long looking. Also my goatee area never grows past an inch and a half long.

I got ‘lucky’ and the tiny bit of my DNA attributed to my Neanderthal ancestors is responsible for my awful skin. I have, apparently, incurable dandruff that’s spread to my ears and face. It’s a real pain. Unless I am constantly (and I mean that) washing my face and scalp, it never goes away. Dealt with it all my life.

Tell ‘em to move to Texas where they can have cheap gas as prohibitively expensive property taxes instead!

A modern PC build. Can’t afford a new GPU or RAM. Mainly so I could actually get some use out of a monitor that isn’t fifteen years old.

Nothing like having your kids pay for the house you buy…

I’ve got a Ford Ranger I wanna do the same to. Eventually…

How’s that for diskless, Sony?

It’s estimated that the average person is at least 50% dihydrogen monoxide. Much like spooky skeletons, it’s already inside you.
