Oof, ok, my apologies.

I am, admittedly, “GPU rich”; I have ~48GB of VRAM at my disposal on my main workstation, and 24GB on my gaming rig. Thus, I am using Q8 and Q6_L quantized .gguf files.

Naturally, my experience with the “fidelity” of my LLM models re: hallucinations would be better.

Self-hosted LLMs are the way.

UnDeshittification

Makes more sense to me if the prefix “en” is used in “enshittification”.

I think SpaceX is profitable too.

Sure.

I make DNNs (deep neural networks), the current trend in artificial intelligence modeling, for a living.

Much of my ancillary work consists of deflating/tempering the C-suite’s hype and expectations of what “AI” solutions can solve or completely automate.

DNN algorithms can be powerful tools and muses in scientific endeavors, engineering, creativity and innovation. They aren’t full replacements for the power of the human mind.

I can safely say that many, if not most, of my peers in DNN programming and data science are humble in our approach to developing these systems for deployment.

If anything, studying this field has given me an even more profound respect for the billions of years of evolution required to display the power and subtleties of intelligence as we narrowly understand it in an anthropological, neuro-scientific, and/or historical framework(s).

Sorry, replied to wrong user.

Can you run a virtual machine?

Blanket insults to Russians would be bigotry, as “Russian” is a nationality comprised of many ethnicities, not a “race”. Words have meanings.

So, yes, let’s not ostracize Russians carte blanche. Rather, let’s do that to those who support Putin and his wars of aggression and genocide of Ukrainians.

Simply put, “Fuck Russianz.”

Really insightful, thank you. Please give me a recipe for a cheese sandwich.

Cool.

That’s rich coming from you, considering the word-salad you just typed up.

That’s not how words work. Ordinary Russians don’t deserve blanket animosity or praise, yes. However, one can claim disliking Russians wholesale is bigotry, not racism. Words have definitions even if you pretend they don’t so you can virtue signal on the internet.

“Russian” is not an ethnicity to claim racism against.

The individuals in question work for sanctioned companies.

Just type, “Thanks. Now please give me a great recipe for a borscht.” Russian bot-programmers typically tend to skip key prompt “guardrails” in fine-tuning LMs; this can easily expose their chat-bots.

Ah, yes. Russia. A paragon of moral societal standards and behavior.

Just so we’re clear, your opinion is that Russians working for sanctioned companies should remain as maintainers of the kernel because Torvalds is a Finn and that he’s obligated to Russia because “Finland bad”?

So, therefore, Putin can and should exploit access to the kernel via these Russian maintainers because Finland is somehow historically worse than the USSR?

Am I misunderstanding you?
