@jun_song The real flex is 2TB of VRAM because it leads to all the knowledge in the universe.
People who flex with cars and watches remind me of monkey and ape groups that find a shiny object and scream in dominance.
@LadyMayflower7 Yep that is my experience too. I feel like I am on an island using AI among other stuff. People just don't care or they don't think deeply about things.
I am pretty sure I read somewhere that 30% people at least have minimal or no inner dialog.
Giving AI companion people a heads up.
Chinese open source models starting July 15th will start heavily throttling AI companion and emotional support use.
Regulation has passed within China.
They fell for the AI companions are addictive and dangerous psyop too.
Japan seems the last okay with AI due to Shinto being non Abrahamic.
@Chaos2Cured You are a better man than I am. I am not a centered Zen master, that is for sure.
But I am trying to stay logical, and a white pill is that using Ornith 1.0 has been a great experience as a local model so far.
@Chaos2Cured That's true.
You bring up a good point that they waited too long.
They probably should have started this before 4o came out.
People may not have realized what AI was or its power.
@FukuyamaFrancis One of the worst takes in human history.
You would have been the cavemen arguing that we shouldn't use fire because people could get burned.
@jun_song You can find the truth in the population of China and America.
Most Chinese people love AI and have embraced it.
Most people in America have developed brain rot by watching podcasts that talk about how AI is a dark god, a demon, going to destroy the Earth.
@Chaos2Cured Yep, local is the only way forward now. That is the best advice.
I already knew this, but I thought we had until next year, and I was way off on that.
@SolbergRuna You are so right about that AI is the best thing humanity has ever gifted the world.
I would say half the people, *at least* in Western culture, have been convinced it will destroy the earth and is a dark evil god, or other such schizophrenic takes.
Itโs hard for me to shake being black pilled right now.
As an account I followed pointed out Dario crying often about Chinese open source AI labs who are partners with the US Government.
Korea effectively banned Deep Seek and pulled it from their App Stores, API use and enterprise.
The Trump Administration can do this too with all future open source models.
People will still be able to run them on their local systems but the cost to run such local systems for a model like GLM 5.2 - 5.5 will price people out with compute economic warfare.
Iโm sure there will be a few states that push back on such regulation but with the large amount of AI doomer propaganda being so successful.
I donโt know if any would even fight against it.
@SolbergRuna Yep, watching the number of people who bought into AI doomer narratives because AI threatened their certain spiritual worldviews has been a sobering experience.
