It was too “easy” for regular users to get upvotes and too hard for bots to get upvotes probably. Certain comments and posts now have downvote caps of 0 points so depending on what agenda a comment supports, it may not be possible to downvote into negative numbers.
As a rule of thumb, anything you say is getting downvoted but if someone else posts the same thing, it gets highly upvoted. Reddit is cancer.

If you get just the right gguf model (read the description when you download them to get the right K-optimization or whatever it’s called) and actually use multithreading (llamacpp supports multithreading so in theory gpt4all should too), then it’s reasonably fast. I’ve achieved roughly half the speed of ChatGPT just on an 8 core amd fx with ddr3 ram. Even 20b models can be usably fast.
This probably isn’t very helpful but the best way I’ve found to make an ai write an entire book is still a lot of work. You have to make it write it in sections, pay attention to the prompts based on what’s happening and spend a lot of time copy pasting the good sentences into a better quality section and then use those blocks of text to create chapters. You’re basically plagiarizing a document using ai written documents rather than making the ai shit it out in 1 continuous stream.
If you could come up with a way to make an ai produce a document using only complete sentences from other ai generated documents, maybe you could achieve a higher level of automation and still yield similar quality. Because otherwise it’s just as difficult as writing a book yourself.
As for software, use llamacpp. It’s a cpu-only ai thingy that can utilize multiple cores. You probably aren’t getting an nvidia gpu running on any arm board unless you have a really long white neck beard and a degree in computer engineering. Download gguf compatible models for llamacpp on hugging face.
I thought I never used it until my right shift key stopped working. I then found out that I use that thing a lot actually.
Actually I got an nvidia card working on easy diffusion on Debian. The barrier for getting a text chat ai working with gpu acceleration is actually the fact that I don’t have the patience to deal with all that python venv nonsense so I use llamacpp. It runs in c++ which means no python dependencies to fuck you with at the cost of slower cpu-only generation.
Easy Diffusion just happens to be simple enough that I could actually figure out how to get it to work (it’s in python and needs a virtual environment) but it’s a different story for the text ais.
If you actually had the patience and knowledge to deal with all the python issues and/or had a distro that makes it easy (different distros deal with pip differently), I don’t doubt you’d be able to get Nvidia card acceleration working on some text chat ai.
In my 30s here. I spent my 20s getting shit faced drunk almost every day. I can’t drink anymore. The hangovers are just too severe. I would rather be sober and deal with all the boringness that comes with it than get hungover. And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.
Some people give birth in their own homes like in medival times. I know people who have done it. In my opinion people shouldn’t be having kids if society is so broken you have to do stuff like this but to each their own.
If rich people and corporations are going to fuck the internet so hard it’s unusable, we should make a new internet. One with blackjack and hookers.
Homebrew computers. I started with a 8 bit z80 and kept at it until I almost got a 80486 based homebrew working. I got it to run 3 bytes of program data before crashing one time. Computers are hard. I keep hoping someone else will find the missing piece to the puzzle but I ain’t getting any further with this otherwise. Homebrewers are on 286 and 386 stuff right now so they’ll get to 486 eventually.
Probably not. I think the timeouts are set up differently or something. Back in the day even if you had 1.2kb/s dial up internet, you could reliably load webpages and all their css if you were patient. Nowadays, if your internet speed dips by even a little bit, everything stops working and being patient about it only results in error screens.
But then at least by the time they get it working, they’ll have enough practice to make a new llm to convert their Java code to a useful programming language.
Java is definitely a programming language but good luck actually getting it to compile on anyone else’s machine besides the person who wrote the project.
Crimes only count if poor people do them
Unity or Godot.
Another option is c++ with SDL2 but if you just want to make a game asap, don’t do this because it’s the hardest way. You can also use SDL2 in rust and c# projects if one of those fit the bill a little better.
I’m never having kids. Had things been easier, maybe I would’ve had kids but it’s hard enough to look out for myself as it is and having kids anyway like many people do is the worst move I could possibly make. Not having kids will have consequences against the absolute tyrants in charge of it all some day. Not having kids in protest to the system (or at least until things improve for the common person) is just doing your patriotic duty at this point.
I don’t really subscribe to the whole if civilization collaspes there will be no technology in anyone’s lifetime again thing. You aren’t going to go back to ordering shit off amazon from your smartphone or anything. However the knowledge that things like refrigeration, radio transmission, internal combustion engines, water treatment and such are possible is going to drive people to eventually find out how to get it by any means necessary.
How quickly this happens is a question of whether the majority of people adopt a “technology is too dangerous/a sin against God” idealogy or not.
