I'm honestly glad that 84% of people haven't used "AI". Despite all the hype and propaganda, they haven't been able to get a lot of people to really engage with it. Most of those people probably did one or two prompts and realized it was dogshit and stopped.
Slop.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.
realized last night in my drug fueled haze that they want AI to be a digital personal Epstein in the pocket of every american, by which I mean it'll make CSAM and also track everything everyone says to it specifically to use to blackmail people, it's the digital widening of the "big club"

It's a megabubble
The bubblest bubble ever bubbled up
a lotta yall still dont get it
ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape
so if you have 1 astro ape and 3 slurp juices you can create 3 new apes
This is theory and I need to study it
the main problem is if you have a good computer (ie the average , run of the mill gaming rig these days) you can run a model that will the "ai assistant" role about 90% as good as the best paid saas models for free on the computer you already have with the addition that your local model is abliterated (jailbroken) to talk about restricted shit. all you need is like 32gb of ram and 8gb of vram minimum which the average pc gamer is running these days.
if you are a developer and have 64gb of ram and 16+ of vram then you can run a claude-level local ai as well. ive not fucked with image or video generation but those models are available as well
if anyone needs a tutorial for the technically uninclined i can write one up because thats the only barrier is that its all in techbro and dev-speak
Do you need open weight models for this? Any recommendations for which one(s)? Do you need to download a huggingface client or something? I’m familiar with AI stuff, but not running locally.
Just think, if we got 100% of people to pay for the premium service and charge them $400 each for it, that's $3,256,000,000,000 that AI will be making! 
Just think

Not required. Line go up
(probably still loosing money on every premium subscriber somehow)
Presumably they'd have to expand their compute capacity astronomically to provide the paid service to everyone
but then again, they could also shitify the service
AI is the last refuge of the morally bankrupt and intellectually lazy
Where I work just had a consultant present to the board, and the senior exec, in two different sessions, on how to integrate AI across the workplace. I saw the slides. It was literally 'here's how to prompt AI, and here's some freeware on creating your own agent'.
Now, we're likely to go on the hook for ~~$45~~ $30 AUD* per user per month for copilot m365 (not copilot free, that's entirely different, 365 is the 'enterprise' version which does the same thing while promising
it won't use company data for training)
The threat is that 'if your workers don't use the copilot from your tenant, they will be putting company data into public LLMs, so you have to cough up. It's a direct threat, as Microsoft integrates the free version of copilot across all its apps. Insidious planet destroying criminal stuff which is a big stick being presented as this productivity-enhancing carrot
Edit: *(I had assumed it was USD and did a rough conversion into my currency, it's actually 30 AUD, ~22usd. It's still more than we can afford and infinitely more than it's worth)
I’m honestly shocked my employer (and basically every university system) hasn’t considered switching because of the huge liability this exposes them to
Copilot is 100% going to get someone in huge trouble for exposing protected health information, and it should be considered malware on any computer in a health system
i respect the racket way more than the actual product
That's something I've been thinking about ever since ChatGPT went public.
Years ago, it was revealed that some online translation site had a bunch of documents from various companies stored because people kept pasting them in, there's no way company documents aren't being put into the slop machines all the time.
My brain just keeps reading:
Anyone who thinks Al isn’t a bubble isn't paying attention.
