Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah...
I mean, I'm a local ML tinkerer. I'm practically an AI-loving extremist on Lemmy, and this is just... weird? Even if I was a New York Republican or whatever, it feels like a clickbait supplement ad your boomer uncle'd send you from Facebook, complete with emojiis.
I think this is why many like Trump. For all his antics and trolling, it's often authentic, where this feels like an alien trying to figure out what a young adult would tweet.
I'd say Cuomo needs to be authentic, too, but that'd probably be even worse, heh.
ML tech isn’t bad, just like blockchain isn’t bad. It’s the gross capitalist opportunism happening around it that makes it overpromise (to the detriment of quality), overbuild (to the detriment of the environment), overuse (to the detriment of the economy), and overstimulate (to the detriment of mental health) while stealing the hard work of basically all of humanity up to this point (like then or not, the material reality is that these companies should be compensating artists and authors alike for their work being used for training).
And with all that power, they do THIS fucking shit with it.
I’m all for local LLMs to be assistants, autocompletes, and reference librarians; but just like the web, they were better when you had to be a fucking turbo-nerd to get them working.
One unique thing I've observed is that big firms, especially the US ones, seem to miss all the cool innovations coming from LLM research papers... unless its in house, of course.
So it's also insular corporate 'don't innovate, scale up' culture kind of poisoning them too. They don't have to be so expensive and big to be useful tools.
Also the fact that a lot of the big firms really seem to be just interested in it as a way to get more user data. People will share some pretty sensitive info with an LLM that they wouldn't otherwise provide.
Running locally is definitely the way to go, if you're going to use them.
