When I was on windows I just used 7zip for everything. Multi core decompress is so much better than Microsoft's slow single core nonsense from the 90s.

I unironically used xz for a long time. It was just eazy and all around very good compress. A close second is 7zip because I used it on windows for years.

Sorry I thought you were being a smartass and just skimmed through it. Truly my bad.

Edit: it's hard to tell intention sometimes and I really do appreciate you summarizing what I said. It's true and a more approachable answer than what I gave.

Boy I love it when people don't read.

Sorry I feel strongly about this. Play with it all you want it's really cool shit! But please don't pay for access to it and if you need some art or a professional write-up please just pay someone to do it.

It'll mean so much to your fellow man in these uncertain times and the quality will be so much better.

I hate to break it to you but not all machine learning is llms based. I've been messing with neural based tts from a small project called piper. I'm looking into an image recognition neural network to write software for and train myself. I might try writing it myself for fun 🤔

I'm not interested in anything that uses stolen data like that so my options are limited and relegated to incredibly focused single purpose tools or things I make myself with the tools available.

I'd love to play with image generation and large language models but until all the legal stuff is worked out and individuals get paid for their work I'm not touching it.

To me it's as cut and dry as this. If it's the difference between an individual becoming their own boss/making a better living and a corporation growing their market cap I'll always choose the individual. I know there's a possibility of that growth resulting in more jobs but I'd rather have an environment where small businesses open breed competition and overall improve everyone's life. Let's not give the keys over to companies like Microsoft and close more doors.

I don't care about the discussion of true AI having rights. It's only going to be used to make the wealthy wealthier.

I'm on his side, I don't get the dislike. Maybe he likes massive corporations stealing people's data putting artist and journalist out of work.

If something like Fossil fuel companies are influencing environmental legislation and poisoning our planet while blaming us for the state of global warming. Isn't it worth fighting for a better future. It might feel futile now but as congregation we have more power than many of us realize. They tell you stop it, it's too late but what they're really saying is stop it your scaring us.

Will my dell latitude from 2006 work?

It's so fun to play with offline AI. It doesn't have the creepy underpinnings of knowing art and journalism as well as musings from social media was blatantly stolen from the internet and sold as a service for profit.

Edit: I hate theft and if you think theft is ok for training llms go ahead and dislike this comment. I don't feel bad about what I said, local offline AI is just better because it doesn't work on the premise of backroom deals and blatant theft. I will never use an AI like DALL.E when there is a talented artist trying to put food on the table with a skill they honed for years. If you condone stealing you are a cheap, heartless, coward.
