I don’t consider myself very technical. I’ve never taken a computer science course and don’t know python. I’ve learned some things like Linux, the command line, docker and networking/pfSense because I value my privacy. My point is that anyone can do this, even if you aren’t technical.

I tried both LM Studio and Ollama. I prefer Ollama. Then you download models and use them to have your own private, personal GPT. I access it both on my local machine through the command line but I also installed Open WebUI in a docker container so I can access it on any device on my local network (I don’t expose services to the internet).

Having a private ai/gpt is pretty cool. You can download and test new models. And it is private. Yes, there are ethical concerns about how the model got the training. I’m not minimizing those concerns. But if you want your own AI/GPT assistant, give it a try. I set it up in a couple of hours, and as I said… I’m not even that technical.

    people need to take a step back and realize we have the capability to trap quasi-omnipotent quasi-demons in our personal computers

    yeah they lie a lot and rarely do what you want them to, but that’s just what demons do

    And it’s all powered by some dark crystals created with light magic that slowly poison the planet

    that’s some arcane bullshit

      How long can something like that really last, though? I wish we had a better idea of the timeline, before the quasi-demons start freelancing lol

      i’ve heard some idiotic takes about “AI” but this takes the fucking cake. hoooly shit you actually think it’s “quasi omnipotent”? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

      what people need to take a step back and realize is that this bullshit is becoming a way stupider religion than Christianity ever was.
