Open and uncensored tribe for talking about anything tech related. Being competent with technology has gone from giving you an edge in the recent past to being a necessity in many fields today. As a result there are a lot more people interested in the various tech-related hobbies, here we have a free space to discuss such things.
I don't know about free ai
I'm very loyal to grok I think it's going to end up the best so I want to learn how to use it the best
I don't know about free
Look for local hosted ai (you run it on your computer and your gpu/cpu powers it if you want free stuff
Just be careful what you download
@Vermillion-Rx chinese one is web based and yes you have to be mindful about it, but if one is not looking to play Chinese tricks on it and is ready to run the code checks before running locally... It is good.
@Vermillion-Rx problem with china is that no one knows what is real, this is simply excellent advertisement of CHINA's manufacturing not necessarily the robot tec.
They likely wont sell it to anyone claiming military tech but will sell you shitty drill from aliexpress that is now having more and more comparable prices to other brands that are probably manufactured in China anyway, because corporations can also be charmed by unavailable military tech.
I'm seeing it in my own corpo, China swallows.
BTW. do you know which freeAI assistant is possibly the best? Chinese.Won't be advertising it here: government subsidized energy and probably smuggled NVIDIAS.
@Bozza Since this post Anthropic has made Fable public , got banned by US Govt. and now is available again. GPT5.6 with the same capabilities is also going to available soon , even still Fable is vastly useless for cybersecurity because of their insane guard rails
@Bozza already old pod complementary

Evidence that AI is spying on us. This poll came up in the YouTube feed: QUESTION OF THE DAYDo you think AI will have a positive or negative effect on humanity? Yes No
@SwarmShawarma Training models needs insane amounts of computing power, we're talking datacentres and gigawatts of power/compute. Nobody like me or you is doing that.
But once the model is "made" and it's essentially just a text file matrix of weights, you can use it.
The latest models probably need about 24GB of GPU VRAM - so we're talking high end GPUS $1.5k+ For the good stuff, that is (agentic AI).
But some of the smaller models can run on lower hardware (some models can run on phones)
@SwarmShawarma Learning models don't exist yet - not like the human brain anyway.
They "learn" (or get trained) and then they're set in stone.
There's a lot of academic researching going into how the human brain can learn "on the spot" but no-one has replicated it yet.
I give it < 5 years.
benefit of the Chinese state government
I can't argue that or that China could have spyware etc, but since AI-USA was ahead in the race and invested billions into it awaiting return, crashing USAI bubble, seems like a valid goal.
