Yeah, well, one can be an ML tinkerer/enthusiast and still despise all this shit.

I'm quantizing a few variants of a new 36B LLM to test now. I love it! Its great, and puts some closed source stuff to shame, and it's my hobby.

...Doesn't mean I want AI slop posters shoved in my face either, or shoehorned into every crevice it doesn't belong.

That doesn't really matter because I'm like a microscopic part of the population, but still, I hate being grouped as 'pro AI' when I hate tech bros even more than whoever's reading this, probably.

I totally appreciate that. ML, imo, is not "AI" as advertised. Go you.

Thanks!

The mere association has drawn a ton of hate though, like a ban on Reddit subs. I think Lemmy's population is more aware of the distinction due to the obvious interest in self-hosted stuff.

Doesn't surprise me. I think if OpenAI or any of the usual suspects stuck to the data aspects and didn't blanket the globe in gen-AI bullshit this situation would be much, much better. But then, they wouldn't make nearly as much money. Which, after all, is the only thing really driving the insanity.

It did help me make a basic script and add it to task scheduler so it runs and fixes my broken WiFi card so I don't have to manually do it. (or better said, helped me avoid asking arrogant people that feel smug when I tell them I haven't opened a command prompt in ten years)
