All these boycotts I can’t join since I never paid for them in the first place 😢
You were just boycotting before it was cool.

They’re extremely helpful, just not at a professional level. They can help a student proof read an essay or a content creator come up with a script, but they can’t help you code an app from scratch or give you a medical diagnosis.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you here, I also think that no generative LLM is worth paying for, let alone a subscription with such a ridiculous price. However, I can still at least understand the appeal for a certain niche subset of people who constantly do the few stuff that a generative LLM like chatgpt excels at.

Sorry but if you can’t make LLMs useful there is something wrong with how you are using them. The problwm with this whole system is that it’s very helpful and valuable to the average person, as well as experts.
I’m sorry I wish you were correct but this narrative that LLMs don’t work is false and bourne out of lack of experience or just flat out lies.
Lies will not defeat our very powerful opponents here, nor their massive and expensive weapons.
Pretending the enemy is useless when the opposite is true is just leaving yourself and your allies unprepared.

Off with their heads! GO self-hosted, go local… toss the rest in the trash can before this crap gets a foothold and fully enshitifies
GO self-hosted,
So yours and another comment I saw today got me to dust off an old docker container I was playing with a few months ago to run deepseek-r1:8b on my server’s Intel A750 GPU with 8gb of VRAM. Not exactly top-of-the-line, but not bad.
I knew it would be slow and not as good as ChatGPT or whatever which I guess I can live with. I did ask it to write some example Rust code today which I hadn’t even thought to try and it worked.
But I also asked it to describe the characters in a popular TV show, and it got a ton of details wrong.
8b is the highest number of parameters I can run on my card. How do you propose someone in my situation run an LLM locally? Can you suggest some better models?
Honestly you pretty much don’t. Llama are insanely expensive to run as most of the model improvements will come from simply growing the model. It’s not realistic to run LLMs locally and compete with the hosted ones, it pretty much requires the economics of scale. Even if you invest in a 5090 you’re going to be behind the purpose made GPUs with 80GB VRAM.
Maybe it could work for some use cases but I rather just don’t use AI.
Check site’s social media icons, purely AI slop.
Seems the site is made up of AI enthusiasts who just don’t like Trump. At best, it’s misguided. At worst, it’s plain insincere.
They encourage you to use AI from Google and Anthropic, two companies which are evil like OpenAI.
Alternate corporate options include Gemini from Google and Claude from Anthropic.
People think ChatGPT is the only chatbot in the game… It’s time to change that.
For those that don’t know Anthropic’s biggest investor is Amazon. They’re not some unknown tech company.
This is absurd. They couldn’t spare the 3 seconds it takes to go to fontawesome to find these icons??
I’d wager the entire page was vibe coded.
You can vibe code assets?
Yup
