You do understand, that AI doesn't need to be run in data centers. Much less water cooled ones right? Don't make the mistake of thinking that anyone showing an interest in AI is for or defending the broligarchs. In fact I would wager that most of them are just as against them if not more so than even you.

You as a complete novice could download Jan or comfy ui and run both on your PC. I would never use any of them as final output, or ever trust them. But I will say that feeding a list of data into a model in Jan and having it format and annotate it, barring necessary corrections can be useful. Not a replacement for people, but a useful tool.

No one but the oligarchs and their lackey's want to see it implemented as they are currently implementing it.
