Executive order on AI - Now a good time to get my own local? (alien.top)

With the news on the executive order targeting AI, would now be a good time to create a local instance for myself which would not be neutered or reduced to useless due to these orders? If so, what should I set my sights on to not waste time with smaller instances?

Yet another hobby slowly circling the drain, kinda like quadcopters and 3d printing.

There's really no defense here as we are dependent on large companies to train foundation models. Guess we gotta git gud at removing alignment because it's bound to get worse.

I've kept out of AI/ML related discussions because honestly I know little about it short of the sysadm back end of making things work.

However I can say I've been around the Internet since the mid/late 90s - seeing what could be wonderful and amazing technologies neutered and destroyed by regulation and censorship has made me sad. So much so I - like so many others - saw this coming at its inception.

Oh well, I'll keep building small labs with used Teslas to do silly things with until those are illegal to buy.

Very interesting you mention the two prior hobbies I jumped on board with as well! Ha!
