Swapping one shit for another isn’t a solution.

Go use a fine-tuned model free from corpo and state filth.

At least it's open source and you can run it locally, and it's more energy efficient. Give credit where credit is due. A truly independent AI group could simply fork and review it. And contrary to fascist talking points not all Chinese Researchers bow to the CCP.

You can run Llama models for free locally, pretty much every AI player release stuff out there for everyone to use for free. It’s surprisingly “open” like that.

And you cannot run the real R1, that still requires a huge investment. It can run reduced quants, barely any different to the other current public offerings.

It seems you can run the full R1 on a 96GB ram gaming rig even without GPU. I have little practical experience because of my old PC but it seems both improvements to efficiency to run locally (at least for a group of people) and research about bias or poisoning is being done.

BRB gotta buy another 64gig RAM kit.

How does it get fine-tuned in the first place?

Are you suggesting that people on the left should abandon all these new powerful technologies to the right. We're in a capitalist society. You're suggesting "fuck it" and leave only right leaning consumers for these powerful new products.

What the hell. It's getting too be so hard to be on the left. Some of the most ineffective strategies on the planet. It looks like it's a doomed political group. There's no forethought.

This suggestion was just as bad as people saying don't use AI

We have to use it and we have to adopt it. Stop giving up powerful tools, technology and space to the right. I'm getting to be so done with the left if they just continue to shit the fucking bed.

What?

I’m suggesting you run these things locally instead of through some corporations servers.

"There are some bad things on the internet"

"Just... Don't use the internet?"

The Internet isn't universally bad
