Honestly fuck this platform. It is insufferable to post something I had found amusing just to be scolded for not following the Lemmy hivemind. If anyone knows a platform that’s not corporate and doesn’t have such a kneejerk hatred of llms dm me. Goodbye
Lmao if people not wanting to see a user support an industry that’s killing the planet at an alarming scale in such a short time makes you want to leave, then I guess good riddance.
“see if I make weapons at HOME with the gun-O-matic that Lockheed stole and killed so much to produce, I’m not supporting the military industrial complex!”
It’s more about which instance you’re posting in. dbzer0.com for example has far less issues with LLMs and neural networks when run locally - those are practically embraced in the respective communities, while the hyperscalers attempts are loathed as they should be.
Sadly, people conflate local neural networks with the crap they are getting pushed by MS/Meta/OpenAI/Anthropic. Most of them don’t realize the difference in scale between running a local model on a GPU with 16GB VRam and 250W TDP vs even a single rack of Blackwells. They neither have the technical knowledge to separate the two things from another, nor the political knowledge to realize that local NNs empower, while centralized NNs disenfranchise.
