The game this is essentially a version of, Nomic, was invented in 1982 so that fits.

I’ve long found it funny how some people claim that generative AI produces terrible slop, and simultaneously that it’s a huge threat to their jobs.

And what’s the killswitch for if it comes with everything disabled and opt-in anyway?

A vain attempt to placate people who are still going to find some reason to complain about AI regardless of what they do.

There is. luarocks is basically the “pip” equivalent for lua, it installs packages (called “rocks”) and manages dependencies. These packages can extend lua with all sorts of practical capabilities.

Sadly, the Heart Mountain Relocation Center has little to do with this.

Going to be some wild captchas before this is all over.

Yes, I know. You’re saying that a 32GB graphics card is millionarie hardware? You’ve got a weird view of the cost of these things.

Plus, the hardware to run a full sized LLM is expensive

It’s a regular gaming PC. Are you going to dismiss all gamers as “millionaires”?

I pay for my electricity. It uses roughly the same amount of power when I’m running an LLM as it would if I was playing a game. It’s negligible.

And contrary to all the breathless headlines about water-guzzling data centers, my computer doesn’t consume any water at all when I run an LLM.

So many of the complaints I see about LLM behaviour can be so easily solved by just adding “don’t behave this way” to the prompt. Most LLM frameworks these days let you add stuff like that to the default system prompt so you don’t even have to remember to do it.

The very first comparison fails, though. I run LLMs locally on my own computer, tokens cost me nothing.

Okay? That’s not what the meme was about, that’s a separate thing.

Fortunately FOSS software is often not beholden to companies or profit motives like that, and that’s specifically what this meme is about.

I’m not sure that this meme is using “offline” correctly. I use AI offline, which means I absolutely do know that it’s not going to “go away.” It’s running on my computer, it’s stored on my hard drive. Ten years from now I will still be able to run it regardless of what’s happened in the outside world. I welcome offline AI integration into software, that’s the best way to do it when possible.

Crypto bubble, not bitcoin bubble, don’t move the goalposts.

Okay, where was the crypto bubble, then? The total market capitalization for cryptocurrencies in aggregate had a significant bump in the 2021-2022 timeframe, but it’s since recovered from and far exceeded that so if that was the bubble it didn’t cause any permanent harm. BTC largely follows the overall cryptocurrency market.

As OP said, the crash of cryptocurrency has been exaggerated.

Shh, people don’t like to hear that cryptocurrencies are still around and doing just fine.

Have you tried asking Copilot what it is?

When there’s an organic-looking decline that seems like a good sign, but the sudden sharp drops seem likely a sign of “corporate oversight” and not an actual improvement.
