I don't hate AI, I hate the overuse of AI in places where it's not suited for. I hate the as-a-service model every Western AI vendor enforces. I hate the people seeing AI as a get rich quick scheme and not as a technology to be leveraged intelligently and meaningfully.

How are you getting a local LLM to read files for you?
Chinese characters are all square. You know that lined paper for helping kids learn to write? For Chinese it's a series of square cells with star shaped internal markings for aligning the characters. Having them be square means whether you write them vertically or horizontally it takes up the same amount of space overall.
Latin characters are mostly tall and narrow. You can write them vertically but then they will take up way more space than if you wrote them horizontally, so it's annoying and difficult to read. The few times I've seen it in the wild I always have to pause and properly look at it instead of being able to read it as a glance, but that might also be due to me being used to reading English horizontally.
Also, some Latin characters like g or h are taller than the rest, but they extend in opposite directions, which makes it even more difficult to align the characters vertically. Capital and lowercase make this worse. In Chinese, there's no character cases, and characters like 一 are defined as being centred in the square, so having that empty space when written vertically helps with alignment when reading.
Don't know enough about Japanese or Korean to say but I'd assume they're similar.
Also I'd imagine precedence has a lot to do with it too. If it's been written both vertically and horizontally for thousands of years, people grow up used to reading it both ways. Latin languages expect horizontal only so we just don't have experience at parsing it vertically so it takes longer.
You and I directly benefit from Israeli genocide because the profits from it are allowed to freely circulate in the Western market. Many public finds including those of universities, pensions, and healthcare, are invested into Israeli firms including weapons firms. Western companies operating in or selling to Israel pay taxes to Western governments where the companies are based, which are then used to subsidise our infrastructure and amenities. Same with Israeli companies operating in or selling to the West.
We are enjoying the spoils of atrocities committed against Palestinians right this second.
Are you doing anything against it? Like actual things that materially help Palestinians not useless lip service and virtual signalling. No? Then your life has a net effect on the side of Zionism no matter how many #palestine social media posts you make. So yes, all Western citizens are culpable because none (or exceedingly few) of us do anything meaningful about it but we all, willingly or otherwise, consume the spoils of genocide. Not wanting to benefit from genocide does not make us any less to blame for doing so.
The fact that neither Israel nor the US is getting the Russia treatment of complete economic and political ostracism by other Western countries shows that the West never believed in actual morals or "rule based order" beyond what's convenient for propaganda.
Usually it's more responsible to disclose things.

Basically because we as individuals can't compete with corporations, so when there are large corporate clients they will drive the price up for individuals. It's not guaranteed to happen, but these types of business to business contracts are usually not a good sign for us.
This makes me want to use GrapheneOS more. If the dataminers don't want you to use it then it must be doing something right.
And until we move past this (and many other animalistic traits) we cannot in good faith say we're superior to animals.
