Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I was finally becoming interested in Felix when he started dabbling in Linux and made some serious cool shit...Now that he's made his own slop tool, I am losing interest in him again. It's so fucking cursed, this slop nonsense needs to stop. I wish he would've stuck with ricing, making fun projects instead of open source washing corporate garbage.
Those are his fun projects. He's not doing them for you. I honestly think its a cool project even if its not something crazy or anything. And honestly self-hosted AI projects are imo a lot better than just using claude tokens or whatever
It's clear that this is his own project, that he is doing this for himself...It's just sad this is what Felix is choosing to share with the community of people that follow him on YouTube. It's bad enough that corporate idiots are peddling slop tools, but having a content creator with history and sway in the YouTube scene do it. Also, it's an LLM not an "AI", as AI is actually out of human reach unless humans actually do some real multidisciplinary work to make it happen. Techbros being able to conflate LLMs with AI was the worst thing to happen to the world. If only they were forced to advertise their slop tools correctly, we'd be in a different situation. 😮💨
Back in the BERT days I had a physics major friend that stuffed a bunch of Norwegian names in a file and trained a Norwegian name generator. He also made a Moby Dick sentence generator for funsies.
PewDiePie's project is nothing different than a personal pet project like these cases. Nothing about being a YouTuber makes you an expert at machine learning. It should be treated the same way as any other pet project.
If the concern is someone with large amounts of influence causing disproportionate harm with their personal projects by name alone, at least in this particular case, I feel it's appropriate to blame someone who trusts a YouTuber's pet project in the first place.
