Wasn’t it always that way?
One of the reasons I’ve not used any of the AI systems is it seems to not allow me to use it anonymously
Never scan your ID.
Is there a way to physically make it unscanable?
Customer-service tools, technical or research systems, and certain internal corporate uses are exempt under Senate Bill S9051B.
Does technical systems mean API based inference providers are off the hook or not? Otherwise I guess it’s time to break out the jailbreak prompts for the Chipotle chatbot.
Dumb as hell
Might convince some people to try out a local AI that runs entirely on one of their systems instead and is thus inherently private and can be uncensored. That is, if they ever hear about this being a possibility.
I consider myself an AI skeptic, but if one wants to use AI for whatever purpose (mine is curiosity - I don’t use AI for anything other than experimentation), local AI is the way to go, in my opinion. You can run pretty impressive stuff on any halfway decent PC (I first started out with with hardware from 2017) - and if you have a powerful system (good CPU, 64 GB RAM, modern GPU with at least 12, better 16 GB of RAM), you can use a software like Strata to run AI models at impressive speeds that would normally require hardware that is out of reach for ordinary people.
Trouble is that’s like 2 grand or more just to be able to run Strata.
I built my current system in early January 2025. I felt like prices were bleeding me dry back then (especially the GPU - I paid over 750€ for a slightly used 4070 Ti Super), but in retrospect, I lucked out with the timing, picked exactly the right moment for using the money I had saved up over a long period of time and am feeling extraordinarily privileged for having a really good machine right now. I recently needed a RAM upgrade anyway, which was extortionately expensive, but I felt like it’s now or never. The machine wasn’t built with AI as its main or even secondary purpose in mind - I only learned about Strata after the RAM upgrade.
That said, if you are using AI in e.g. a business context, Strata drastically lowers the barrier of entry for a serious local LLM. Two (more like three these days, I’d guess) grand isn’t a large expense for anything but the smallest business (compared to the substantial five digit sum you’d have to spend without it), although it should be stressed that you can’t really do many simultaneous sessions on a PC or server rack that just meets the minimum requirements for Strata - and it’ll eat up most system resources as it’s running, only leaving enough for very light other tasks, at least if you’re trying to run the version of Qwen that does the most with your system.
AI glazers will happily just hand it over.
What is the meaning of a glazer? Someone who makes windows? I don’t get it
*glazier = a person who cuts and sets glass
That…doesn’t help either. Someone who makes doughnuts?
the WWW is a 30+ year honey pot
oh no those poor, poor aiholes
It’s social media today, AI tomorrow… Day after that it’ll be something you actually care about.
According to the headline, this is about chatgpt, I care about it and its users burning in hell, if that helps. They are not victims, and deserve no defense, it is a corrupt industry, owned by the worst people.
Yes, and tomorrow it’ll be search engines and day after that it’ll be all websites.
*Tomorrow it will be google and the day after that it will be facebook, instagram, and twitter, and the zombies who use those things will happily oblige.
The ID trash is already used in Australia to block under 16s from social media (although apparently it doesn’t stop most of them)
The ai already took everything I cared about…
Only thing that would ever right these wrongs is nothing short of Sam altamnns head on a spike.
