Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Hacker reverse engineers his Samsung TV and finds on-device AI listening for your dog and baby, watching what you watch, and borrowing your soundbar's mic if the TV doesn't have one. Then OpenAI banned him for reverse-engineering it.

6 mos into owning a Samsung TV, I started getting ads.

So I put a pihole on my network which fixed it but I also started seeing the ENORMOUS amount of times ALL my samsung devices were being blocked. I'm talking THOUSANDS per day per device. Like the TV would be blocked 1,200 times in one day, my samsung smartphone would also be blocked 1,000+ times per day while my wife's iphone that she uses for every and all social media was being blocked maybe 100 times.

Since then I've never bought another Samsung device and hooked an apple tv up to my Samsung TV while disconnecting the tv from the internet. It's fucking disgusting how you buy their product and still get milked for data/money.

The amount of traffic being generated by devices that have no consumer-friendly reason to do so is appalling. I don't really trust devices like chromecast and Apple TV anymore, and have stopped using them. Instead, I built a Pi specifically for that purpose. It's worked great for services like Netflix and Crunchyroll; sometimes YouTube is slow and clunky, which tells me that there's a lot more going on in the background than just delivering videos, but overall I'm happy with it. Plus I can use it for a lot more than just streaming.
