Burning the planet to generate unverified bullshit; stealing from creators; poisoning the whole process of generation, presentation, teaching, and usage of knowledge; helping to fire qualified professionals by the thousands, to replace them with unqualified babbling machines; inflating an irresponsible investment bubble until it bursts, resulting in unprecedented damage.

You're proud of your work of utter destruction? You fools. You're enemies of humankind.

Do you hate #broligarchs?
#Billionaires? #AiSlop but still think there is merit in #AI?

Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.

That's right.Your very own co-op AI

The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)

40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.

LETS GO!!!

AI in mental health seems like the perfect combination. You want the professional to focus on the patient without struggling with notes and follow-up reminders. Yet, between data privacy and CEOs pushing for "efficiency," there is a risk in missing the mark.

A boy stands in awe beneath a towering dandelion against a starry night sky. The scene combines elements of whimsy and wonder. Surrealism and dreamlike image. A giant, luminous dandelion seed head drifts through a twilight sky filled with swirling nebulae and distant galaxies. Tiny, silhouetted figures can be seen clinging to the seeds. A highly detailed illustration. The ethereal glow of the dandelion illuminates the cosmic scene. A sense of wonder and vastness.
