I have no idea how you use this and stay sane but 🫡 to you sir

very easy to get started, make sure you have a graphics card with ideally more than 6gb of vram (the more the better), grab lm studio: https://lmstudio.ai/ then under the discover section you can grab a local model

these ones run locally on your PC and don’t touch the internet hence the more VRAM you have the faster they go and more larger models you can run

the opposite! ai is great for helping learn a language, part of my goal is to get away from english and us centric everything, if i just continue to watch other cultures in english i’m not doing anything really except watch more english language content

Sam Altman will face the same fate as Elizabeth Holmes.

You might want to pick someone else besides her, her product was fraud, openai is used by millions of people every day

You’re 100% right to be concerned and to be honest I have doubts lemmy will ever crack more than a few million users, the same thing happened with Mastodon, something that relies so heavily on volunteers running the infra almost inevitably results in burnout because the fediverse works on a disincentive basis:

Basically the more popular a server is, the more funding it requires, the more admins it requires, the more work it requires, and all of this is on a slim margins or more likely requiring on people to donate time/money/effort ‘for free’ is a huge ask.

The supply of people sitting around doing nothing all day who care enough to dedicate their time/effort/money to running a social network… for free… is a very small group, almost as small as the amount of people who are willing to donate every month to a social network.

You can find mods of communities are usually fans of the communities they mod, it’s a topic they enjoy and so the incentive for them to invest their time is to keep their community clean and great. But running a social network which has hard costs not just time is a whole other thing

This is opposed to a regular website or social media network, where as it gets bigger, it makes more money through ads/subscriptions, the incentive is to get bigger to make more money

And then they can simply pay people to do the shit no one wants to.

The reality for me is that the money has to come from somewhere, you can do a paywall like newspapers do or beg for donations every page visit like the guardian/wikipedia do, or the usual suspect allow advertising, but the money has to come from somewhere.

Thus the fediverse has a disincentive to growing larger, it is simply easier and more sustainable to remain small

welcome to mastodon

then you need to decide your instance

Just use mastodon.social

If you feel like you want to join a more specific community then you can

All 10 users of mastodon are so upset right now
