No, that’s what the common prejudices about the popular whipping boy of the moment says.

Another tragic victim of the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things.

1 year + 1 day later: turns out all instances are running on non-American servers.

Going to be some wild captchas before this is all over.

Yes, I know. You’re saying that a 32GB graphics card is millionarie hardware? You’ve got a weird view of the cost of these things.

Plus, the hardware to run a full sized LLM is expensive

It’s a regular gaming PC. Are you going to dismiss all gamers as “millionaires”?

I pay for my electricity. It uses roughly the same amount of power when I’m running an LLM as it would if I was playing a game. It’s negligible.

And contrary to all the breathless headlines about water-guzzling data centers, my computer doesn’t consume any water at all when I run an LLM.

So many of the complaints I see about LLM behaviour can be so easily solved by just adding “don’t behave this way” to the prompt. Most LLM frameworks these days let you add stuff like that to the default system prompt so you don’t even have to remember to do it.

The very first comparison fails, though. I run LLMs locally on my own computer, tokens cost me nothing.

Okay? That’s not what the meme was about, that’s a separate thing.

Fortunately FOSS software is often not beholden to companies or profit motives like that, and that’s specifically what this meme is about.

I’m not sure that this meme is using “offline” correctly. I use AI offline, which means I absolutely do know that it’s not going to “go away.” It’s running on my computer, it’s stored on my hard drive. Ten years from now I will still be able to run it regardless of what’s happened in the outside world. I welcome offline AI integration into software, that’s the best way to do it when possible.

Crypto bubble, not bitcoin bubble, don’t move the goalposts.

Okay, where was the crypto bubble, then? The total market capitalization for cryptocurrencies in aggregate had a significant bump in the 2021-2022 timeframe, but it’s since recovered from and far exceeded that so if that was the bubble it didn’t cause any permanent harm. BTC largely follows the overall cryptocurrency market.

As OP said, the crash of cryptocurrency has been exaggerated.

Shh, people don’t like to hear that cryptocurrencies are still around and doing just fine.

I, too, started out on kbin and ended up migrating to an mbin instance. I sent Ernest some money via that Koffi thing he had and I don’t regret it - I hope he found the funds useful, whatever it is that happened to him in the end. He kicked off an alternative to Lemmy and that’s super important for a distributed decentralized system like the Fediverse, you can’t have just one client for it.

Both examples were administered by doctors so that checks out.

Have you tried asking Copilot what it is?

He did such a good job of pretending to be inoffensive and harmless that the writers themselves were fooled.

Everyone forgets how Neelix came to be on the Voyager. He was a genocide survivor, a lone wanderer in Kazon space, with a ramshackle little ship. You’ve got to be tough like a badger or an Ewok to survive a life like that. And the first thing he did when he met this powerful ship of desperate people with technology and capabilities beyond his understanding was to trick them into rescuing his sweetheart for him. He’s got balls.

If it was a properly-formed meme then there would be text on the image indicating the positions held by each of the depicted individuals, thus explaining the anger. It would appear that you have provided a defective or incomplete meme.
