Yea the anti-AI crowd on Lemmy tends to misplace their anger on all AI when a lot of their anger should be directed to the corporate BS shoving it everywhere and anywhere to make a profit and line go up
As always, technology isn’t the enemy, it’s the corporations controlling it that are. And honestly the freely available local LLMs aren’t too far behind the big ones.
I am very strongly anti-AI, I think it has some legitimate uses that have probably saved and improved a lot of lives (like AlphaFold). My main problem (and most people’s main problem with it) is the way it has been trained with stolen data and art.
Since I don’t know much about non-corporate AI I am interested to know how an open-source LLM just trained off of your bookmarks would work, I assumed it would still need to be trained off of stolen data still so it can form sentences as well as the more popular models but I may be wrong, maybe the volume of data needed for a system like that is small enough that it can just be trained off of data willingly donated to it? I doubt it though.
fluid dynamics are quite effective at that. And there seem to only be a few main talking points that they bring up (environmental, energy, training data, art, job loss, personal dislike, wealth concentration (probably better to just say economic, but it’s pretty much just this), ill fitting usages, or not understanding how the model works at a fundamental level), unless people think about something a lot they generally come up with similar arguments.
Finding the setting that stopped tabs from being reset every time I closed my browser changed my life. I just don’t if it was a positive or negative change yet
I have 172 spread over 13 windows, loosely grouped by subject, but it gets muddied fast as I often just start searching new things in existing windows and then have some eclectic mixes.
I am like this as well but since i also postpone everything i end up with a dozen more month after month so for quite a while now i have been using https://raindrop.io/ and it is the best thing for me. You can regularly export if you worry about losing data, don’t believe your privacy is at risk there but you might want to check for yourself if you value this a lot.
Hah. Yeah, I’ll do that as soon as you invent a way to freeze time.
For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure it’s less energy efficient to run a local open source LLM than to offload the task to a data center, but the flexibility and privacy are too big of a deal to ignore.
In any case chatbots suck at finding accurate information reliably, but they are actually pretty good at reaching things you already know or can verify at a glance with suprisingly little information. The fact that a piece of tech is being misused often doesn’t mean it’s useless. This simplistic black-and-white stuff is so dumb and social media is so full of it. Speaking of often misused technology, I suppose.
Depends on what knowledge we are talking about. Personally, I’d be feeding it tons of manuals so that I could ask questions like “Which version of software x introduced feature y?” There’s no extra context I need, I just need a version number to give to a customer. And in my industry, that type of info just doesn’t show up on Google. So having an LLM that can answer the question in seconds saves me an hour of sifting through manuals.
Not true in all cases, yes if you want to read a novel you will enjoy reading it way more than reading a computer generated summary. But if you want to source information it’s a whole other story. Also, you still need to use your brain to understand summaries
LMAO yea using an LLM to dig through things to find what I need faster so that I can read further on the non-summarized version for more depth is “outsourcing my thinking” 🙄
oh poor baby 🥺do you need the robot to read through your bookmarks? 🥺 yeah? 🥺do you need the bo-bot to write you essay too? 🥺 yeah ??? 🥺 you can’t do it?? 🥺 you’re a moron?? 🥺do you need chat gpt to fuck your wife ??
That’s exactly what I was thinking. And this is actually the first time I’ve heard of some use of LLMs that I may actually be interested in.

Well in some ways they are. It also depends a lot on the hardware you have of course. A normal 16GB GPU won’t fit huge LLMs.
The smaller ones are getting impressively good at some things but a lot of them are still struggling when using non-English languages for example.

Wow, that’s a big net. Surely your comment is applicable to all your catch.
Right?
Yes, do tell me more about the tendencies of the crowd as a whole.

LLM has its uses if you arent relying too much on it or trusting it to give true information
I can’t trust book marks I just use open tabs if I want to keep track of info, that’s why I have 75 tabs open most of the time
Finding the setting that stopped tabs from being reset every time I closed my browser changed my life. I just don’t if it was a positive or negative change yet
Are you me? I have hundreds open at any given moment lmao
A friend of mine has 2.5k, and I don’t even know how many I have open, I have 13 windows of either ~5 or 100-200 tabs

i use gpt4all and a markdown list of notes for it to sort through. kind of works, but need to tinker the application more because it’s fun lol
Manually reading through is going to teach you more and give more context than a txt parser’s summary.
Just use your brain and don’t outsource your thinking.

To pull this off I’d need everything in audio form
Use text to speech
can I have an ai or maybe go old school rss feed collect stuff and read it to me?
