This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.

My avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.

I’m used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn’t happened on Lemmy ever lol.

Lots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.

There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.

There are so many pieces of media that need much slower pacing. The Sequel Star wars movies for one.

An AI project that’s ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain’t so!

Checked the videos you posted

This is just a ChatGPT front end isn’t it?

More I’m even more curious what you’re doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO

Okay so it’s something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.

How is it processing the data?

Where am I getting the data?

What is it doing to the data?

Who is paying me for processed data?

I already get 8-10 hours of active use out of my T14. Who wants to do more stuff for longer without a dedicated space for it?

I get sick of coffee shop stuff after like 3 hours.

Myself and Sasquatch.

I could see that as a privacy measure.

Everything on Lemmy is open anyways but maybe the maintainer didn’t want to be the guy to make Lemmy data that accessible. So it’s a limitation. You can only have Lemmy data if you are hosting the server and the community.

That’s not a bad call.

There’s fortunately pretty tech literate people at both locations. I can walk them through most of it with very little a long the lines of finger puppets and crayons.

That’s me! Gotta love Spectrum baby!

I actually got into this because I used to have sporadic hour+ long Internet outages when I was trying to watch all of Star Trek.

15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.

My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he’s recovering from surgery and I’m at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it’s only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.

Hell yeah

I already have a stack of Optiplex 30XX SFF PCs. It would be cheaper spending the $100-$200 for a high capacity HDDs TBH. And the idea is that I manage the content on it from my own 30tb store.

12-16tbs of TV and movies is kind of a lot lol.

Is it pretty easy to set up on a CLI?

I’d want to do that if possible.

Uh acktually I’m a Kali user

-Uses Kali WSL port

Falls in line with the ethics of basically all known gods.

Well they wouldn’t be middle fingers anymore but we understand the sentiment

I’m a fan generally of LLMs for work, but only if you’re already an expert or well versed at all in whatever you’re doing with the model because it isn’t trust worthy.

If you’re using a model to code you better already know how that language works and how to debug it because the AI will just lie.

If you need it to make an SOP then you better already have an idea for what that operation looks like because it will just lie.

It speeds up the work process by instantly doing the tedious parts of jobs, but it’s worthless if you can’t verify the accuracy. And I’m worried people don’t care about the accuracy.
