For LLMs, the already mentioned LM Studio does a good job as far as beginner friendliness goes.

For text-to-image, I like Fooocus, which is a custom Stable Diffusion setup with automatic prompt enhancement, which can comfortably compete with Midjourney.

Here’s a setup guide for first time users. There’s also an online version to try it out.

Oh, my bad.

Various probiotic supplements will include that, just read the label.

Or literally just do a search on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLS4LSJP

That’s not wrong.

Can confirm. My dad had a 386DX-40 when I got my hands on a copy of Doom, and it was a fucking slideshow at best.

Cool, that oughta pay for three months’ worth of food and rent in NYC

Yeah I guess it doesn’t allow access to those things yet although I don’t see why they couldn’t add that in a future release. The APIs for that already exist.

A walled garden works because it keeps the weeds out

You realize that Android being too open is a major reason for why it sucks and iOS being more locked down is precisely how they avoided going the same way, right?

A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

No need to wait for iOS 18 to have that: https://llmfarm.site/

I think it can be useful but it’s overvalued right now

Yeah, I get that. At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I was poking fun at the fact that Lemmy reflexively hates everything Elon does, but in this case, he’s actually expressing a sentiment most Lemmy users would agree with.

Which is apparently all of them

The usual, then?

It seems a little illogical to hate Elon for hating AI when you also hate it.

Yes but can you hate one for hating the other when you hate it as well?

This should be interesting.

Have you heard of WSL?

It’s not that it hasn’t gotten better, but that the entire infrastructure that’s underpinning the GUI is simply completely different than what people are used to. And I’m not just talking CLI here, because the average Windows user likely doesn’t use that to begin with – it’s things like filesystem organization, software management, driver installation, configuration files, etc.

And it’s not that these barriers are insurmountable either, but they DO require a significant amount of cognitive effort that not everyone is willing to put in.

A lot of people here seem to be missing the nuance.

You don’t say…
