The first dose is free...

@sam4000 Thank you! Yes, it was on my list for long, but I wanted to really put it at a moment in the story when Cepper, the Gothic Sorceress, would really need it.
With the home destroyed on the two previous episode it was the perfect opportunity. Now, I have another good opening to jump on the theme of the 'locally installed AI', also a big item on my TODO list.

@davidrevoy Of course it starts raining.

@davidrevoy Have a safe trip!

@johnnythan Have a 🤗 too

BTW Tusky App allows the scheduling of posts.

Few people use it though, it's a cultural thing I guess plus no pressure to feed the algorithm 🤔

I do use it sometimes when I'm travelling and want to post pictures, so that posts that identify my location only go out after I have already left. That will give me some locational privacy.

This has literally never happened to me.
All of the AIs just keep giving me free service forever.
I think I'm on a list or something.

@piper Thank you!

@davidrevoy no need to be perfect, you could always send it even week later and i wouldn't see a difference…

@gunchleoc @johnnythan Good option for this usage! Thank you for sharing.

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@VANTABlack2000 🤣 Oh yes. And probably many things looking good at first, but totally awkward later; like the door to the toilets not opening fully because hitting the toilet seat, or a random door lower sized than all other that you have to constantly remind for bending yourself a little, or a random stair on the way to a room lower than all other. Many little poisons like that 😆

@Tak Thanks, edited 🙂

@davidrevoy Sure you don't use it, because surely those people would not have a subscription with unlimited access. "Double your limits!" sure, unlimited, no.

@davidrevoy You didn't highlight the A and I :<

@davidrevoy

Local AI sounds nice, but you need expensive* hardware and the quality lags 6 to 12 months behind commercial AI – at least in simple terms.

I’m looking forward to seeing them; your comics are simply brilliant.

* Prices for local AI hardware are actually falling, at least until the next hardware price surge hits.

@sam4000 @davidrevoy prices of hardware has been rising alongside RAM, at least in the used market which is the only place I regularly check. My GPU that cost me 600€ more than a year ago is 750-800€ now. I don't know what are the falling prices you mention.

LLMs of any size they're all shit, except for a few particular tasks, most of which don't require a GPU this expensive (or any GPU at all, if you have some patience). I keep a very small LM loaded at all times for image transcriptions and things like that. Most of my VRAM is used with Blender or VR stuff. I _could_ load much bigger models (when I'm not using the GPU for graphics) but I don't really need to.
