Ollama.com is another method of self hosting. Figuring out which model type and size for what equipment you have is key, but it's easy to swap out. That's just an LLM, where you go from there depends on how deep you want to get into the code. An LLM by itself can work, it's just limited. Most of the addons you see are extra things to give memory, speech, avatars, and other extras to improve the experience and abilities. Or you can program a lot of that yourself if you know Python. But as others have said, the more you try to get out, the more robust a system you'll need, which is why you find the best ones online in cloud format. But if you're okay with slower responses and lower features, self hosting is totally doable, and you can do what you want, especially if you get one of the "Jailbroke" models that has had some of the safety limits modified out of them to some degree.

Also as mentioned, be careful not to get sucked in. Even a local model can be convincing enough sometimes to fool someone wanting to see things. Lots of people recognize that danger, but then belittle people who are looking for help in that direction (while marketing realizes the potential profits and tries very hard to sell it to the same people).

Sure. Is there also a matching one for capitalism, since it's far beyond just cars.

Monty Python makes more sense than reality. I wish a moose would bite Trump.

Dude wouldn't know where to find eggs if you dropped him into a grocery store, let alone the prices people are paying. "What could it cost, Michael? $10?" vibes.

Idiocracy without the President who cares about fixing the problems.

That's also true.

Wind is created through the warming of surfaces via sunlight. All sunlight is imported. We can't avoid sunlight, so we should just put tariffs on it. That will teach Sol.

"I'll make you more money, you do some things for me."

Didn't he get impeached for...oh, right, Republicans were fine with all that once they got around to admitting it happened.

the fucker fucked up the handling of a global pandemic that he helped create by eliminating a response team developed by the past two Presidents

FTFY

To be fair, he came out of nowhere without a history to judge him on. It's not like he had a previous term as a terrible President, or a lifetime as a horrible businessman. No one knew he'd be like this. /s

The world went to hell when blink was depreciated.

Your point is valid legally. And in many cases you're right, your options are limited if someone isn't driving correctly near you. However I still disagree on the idea that there's not much you can do to avoid situations if you stay aware of potential problems. That's where defensive driving comes in - if I see someone is following too close in traffic or isn't slowing even though I'm signalling a turn, I'm not going to take a position of "well, I've done all my legal required actions, it's out of my hands." I'm going to use the outs that I've already got in my head to avoid them hitting me, whether that be changing my speed to space out the reaction time for them, abandoning the turn or move, or going off the road.

I disagree, someone not seeing your signal and action is still your problem. The percentage of legal blame will possibly be more on them if you can prove you did signal, but it is every driver's duty to ensure their movement does not cause a problem for others, right-of-way or not. It it's deemed preventable, it's a driver's fault to some degree. That's why it's called defensive driving.

From a Gen-X point of view:

Boomers: "We had post WWII proxy wars and the Red Scare."

Gen-X: "We had The Cold War and Y2K."

Millennials: "We had 9-11 and constant conflict in the Middle East."

Younger generations now: "WTAF is going on?!?!"

Tomorrow. "Everything is exempt, but we're increasing tariffs to 80085%".

Boss seems intimidating until you find out it can only move side to side.

It's like so many things. We were okay with what we had until something came along to vastly improve it. Internet and computer speeds, storage sizes, graphics. We did seem to forget how having good gameplay is important though in some modern games, got distracted by the eye candy.

I'm bad about keeping old devices around. I have my first TNT graphics card, a Soundblaster, and several VGA cords. I do NOT have any mice around with balls. Gone the minute optical came on the scene, what an annoyance they could be.

We too were victims of the BoA shuffle which maximized what fee they'd hit us with. Was one of many reasons why we said goodbye and joined a credit union.
