I have avoided AI (LLMS) because it didn’t seem nearly useful enough to warrant supporting these tech assholes. Is there anyway to use it locally on a normal device (16 Gb ram, 8 year old Geforce graphics, etc?). Can I just slow it down and get it to work locally?

    You can, but it’s not worth the effort. The technology itself is set up for people of power, such as governments and corporations. That’s why they steal our hardware and make it unaffordable. The only genuine use is accessibility, but it’s purely audio/text recognition. Everything else is for targeting people with drones and surveillance state.

    Edit: how could I forget deepfakes? You practically can’t live without them nowadays /s
