Drop shadows, people!
Dropped.
The VCs I’ve spoken with have all said it’s important to remember that you’re not really investing in technology, you’re investing in the people behind it. Literately vibe-based, personal likability trumps usefulness in their minds.
They can tell everything about you from a firm handshake and a look in the eyes.
1% based on my calculations. Totally not biased or anything.
After reading these comments it has become clear to me that all of you are extremely selfish, and don’t care that there are billionaires out there not wanting to use their supposed wealth to further their evil endeavors. Shame on you all! I bet you are all also not even using the ram you have and just squandering it instead of helping these helpless idiots destroy humanity.
The billionaires and their Chinese spy girlfriends deserve it more than us 🙏
Of course they do. They’re very wealthy, and are therefore just simply better than us. When will it finally be their turn to control everything, everyone, everywhere all the time?? 😭
But chatgpt actually sucks though, its one of the worse ones.
When deepseek came out I never looked back.
Open source should be the standard for supposedly world ending technology.
Open source should ideally be the standard for technology in general
Locally run AI should be the standard. All you have to do is download a .gguf file from hugging face (around 8 gig) and load it into Koboldcpp’s GUI… Or AnythingLLM if Kobolcpp is too technical for you.
Some models run faster, others run slower (depending on hardware, model size, and structure). Models like LFM2.5 for instance runs pretty fast because it’s more like 3 small models cowriting responses.
Minimal viable local AI that can actually solve problems in agentic mode is qwen 3.8 dense/flash. You are looking at fat ass pc with 16 gb vram 64 ram for flash or 32vram for dense.
Maybe if not for AI bubble prices on hardware, that would be affordable. But today it costs a whole lot for a machine that ideally shouldn’t be the same you are working on - cause whatever you use will eat vram/ram.
If by “solving problems” you mean - you yell your criteria at it enough times that it actually listens and does what you asked for half an hour ago… then sure.
Let’s face it, most of the time that’s what interacting with AI is like. It feels like repeatly asking for the same thing and getting variations that you didn’t really ask for… Then eventually settling for what it’s done.
When deepseek came out I was already slopfree. You should try it, it’s liberating.
If you invest today it will be better in the future. It will be so good that we will be Star Trek soon. Invest today.
Hmm, I don’t know. Maybe I’d be more convinced if the machine god will be evil unless you get 10 trillion dollars.
Just a bit more money, and I promise we’ll have it be good.
See, what we do is run an LLM, and when it makes mistakes, we will have another LLM supervise and correct it. Of course, that LLM will also make mistakes, but it’s okay because will just have another LLM to supervise the 2nd one! Of course that LLM…
“Just have some goddamn F A I T H, Satya! One last funding round and we’ll be automating this whole place!”
Based on their latest round the answer to this is apparently $0 unless you already invested and you want to throw good money after bad trying to keep the grift going.
1℅ better *if I receive subsidies, devour natural resources unsustainably to the detriment of entire cities, and you allow me alone to determine my chatbot efficacy.

That symbol… You got out of your way to not write a bare “%” there, didn’t you?
nope, just a long press, but % looks normal now.
Why is he in the Rovers Return?
