Thanks for spreading the word. We get these complaints every few weeks. More people need to be educated and move away from these instances to make the Threadiverse a better place.

services.tabby.enable = true;
services.tabby.acceleration = "cuda";
? Could be another way.
Fair enough. I, too, think parts of dead bodies aren't collector items or to be used for random purposes. Maybe for education and science. And with consent. But that's it.
Mainly sugar, oil and fat and carbs from the wheat.
Yeah and there were also lots of PC magazines around then. I'm from Germany, too. I bought some Suse version with a similar version number as part of a (to me kinda expensive) PC magazine. Proceeded to wreck the bootloader, then delete most of the files on the PC by accident. Had to copy lots of things from my friends on the next LAN party to get everything back. Took me several attempts and re-installations to get a proper dual-boot. Mainly due to hardware woes. But it convinced me immediately. I'm a Linux user since then. I remember playing all the small games that were either on the CD or small enough to download. Like KTuberling(Kartoffelknülch), TuxRacer, some billiard and marble games, clones of arcade games, Sokoban... Every day a new enticing game to explore. (I was a kid back then.) And I also drew pictures, did the 10 fingers typing lectures and read a lot of books and documentation about the inner workings of Linux. And I was always interested in programming and messing with computers. I already had a C++ for Dummies book at that point. So eventually I got more into programming and constructing silly HTML pages. But I think that was early 2000s. And I remember playing lots of CounterStrike at that point. Just at friends places, because at home we still had dialup and it took us a bit into the 2000s until we got that PC that was able to run Windows 98, ME and then Linux.
I'd say apply some of their specific skills instead of competing at unskilled (and low-pay) labor. Maybe draw illustrations or pictures. Computer programming. Cut videos for some Youtuber...
Leaf blower? Vacuum? Pay someone $20 to get rid of them so you don't have to do it?
Hmm, the adventure of surfing the web? That forums and such were filled with nerds and quality advice. And the lack of monetization.
I remember (illegally) downloading lots of music, trying webbrowsers and them being super slow on my machine and of course pictures would load even slower. Alter (I think after the 90s were over) discovering Linux, reading forums and everyone was helping each other out. Or discussing detailed things and niche interests. And it had a distinct culture. A suggested/mandatory way of writing and replying so things would be organized and easy to follow.
I think most of the media coverage is hype. That doesn't directly answer your question... But I take everything I read with a grain of salt.
Currently, for the tech industry, it's main use is to generate hype and drive the speculation bubble. Whether it's useful or not, slapping the word "AI" on things and offering AI services increases the value of your company. And I personally think if they complain about this, it's they want the bubble even bigger, but they already did the most obvious things. But that has nothing to do with "find use" in the traditional sense (for the thing itself.)
And other inventions came with hype. Like smartphones (the iPhone.) Everyone wanted one. Lots of people wanted to make cash with that. But still, if it's super new, it's not always obvious at what tasks it excels and what the main benefits are in the long term. At first everyone wants in just because it's cool and everyone else has one. In the end it turned out not every product is better with an App (or Bluetooth). And neither a phone, nor AI can (currently) do the laundry and the other chores. So there is a limit in "use" anyways.
So I think the answer to your question: what did they have in mind... is: What else can we enhance with AI or just slap the words on to make people buy more. And to be cool in the eyes of our investors.
I think one of the next steps is the combination with robotics. That will make it quite more useful. Like input from sensors so AI can take part in the real world, not just the virtual one. But that's going to take some time. We've already started, but it won't happen over night. And for the close future i think it's gonna be gradual increase. AI just needs to get more intelligent, make less errors, be more affordable to run. That's going to be a gradual increase and provide me with a better translation service on my phone, a smart-home that i can interact with better, an assistant that can clean up the mess with all the files on my computer, organize my picture folder... But the revolution already happened. I think it's going to be constant, but smaller steps/ progress from now on.

That will be optimized for AMD and as far as I know has the same / a very similar user interface.
(The 8GB of VRAM on your graphics card will be some limitation. So maybe stick with smaller and quantized models.)

I'm pretty sure he did this out of this own motivation because he thinks/thought it's a fascinating topic. So, sure this doesn't align with popularity. But it's remarkable anyways, you're right. And I always like to watch the progression. As far as I remember the early videos lacked professional audio and video standards that are nowadays the norm on Youtube. At some point he must have bought better equipment, but his content has been compelling since the start of his Youtube 'career'. 😊
And I quite like the science content on Youtube. There are lots of people making really good videos, both from professional video producers and also from scientists (or hobbyists) who just share their insight and interesting perspective.
Is that you? https://lemmy.world/post/16219762
