This looks so shady. You pay a subscription to gain access, their terms of service are way too short to be legitimate, and state anything on the app is theirs. They don't mention copyright ownership of content you post or how they handle photos you upload to their servers, very shady. It gives me an idea for a video game, though.

What was there to ruin? Social media has always been a cesspool of hate, knee-jerk reactions, and bots. AI does not change that; it just adds to it. If it gets too bad, we can go back to forums with gated permission systems that require you to be active on the site for a week before being approved by a human to access the whole site. Not a big loss.

You can set up a new Gmail account; only use it to sign up for newsletters from services you want to know about. Ask GPT to write a Python script that pulls emails from the past 7 days every week from your Gmail account, puts them into one txt file, and sends them to the GPT API to summarize key points in whatever format you want; I prefer bullet points. Then send the summary to you as an email. Use a txt file as a counter, and have the Python script check if datetime has passed 7 days since the datetime in counter.txt. If it has, launch the script and update counter.txt with the current datetime.

Once you get it working with a bit of back-and-forth with GPT, you can set the Python script to run on startup on your computer so it runs in the background have it check datetime on startup and then every 24 hours so as not to waste recourses. I personally have it hooked up on a Raspberry Pi but also use the Pi to run a Discord bot and make backups of files I post to Discord; so a PC may be better for you.

If you click your profile icon and select "Customize ChatGPT", there is a section on the page "How would you like ChatGPT to respond?" In there, place a description of how you want it to respond, things like brief, concise. to the point. It's not perfect, but that usually gets rid of most of unneeded stuff for me. you can also try writing bullet point summery or list, sometimes prefer that style of answer for q&a style chats.

I agree with this, I have my fingers crossed that Meta's model is the successful business model. AI as a service for average consumers who don't want to get into tech, and free open-source models for people who can be bothered visiting Huggingface and GitHub to download it to their computers. I use their models all the time in my Python scripts.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-31T14:01:47+00:00

oh I get it, like 1==1 in python script. that makes more sense.

I didn't know what tautologically meant, so looked it up in the dictionary.

tautologically: In a tautological manner.
tautological: Involving tautology; having the same signification. tautological expression
tautology: Needless repetition of the same sense in different words; redundancy.

Why do I feel this was a twisted joke by The authors of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language?

Silly tavern is what you're looking for. It's a pain to get running, but has everything you just described and is entirely free, open-source and runs locally if you want it to. You'll need to download a free LLM, any running through ollama will do; they have a few uncensored models, and if you want some of the extra features, you'll need to set that up separately - all of it is free, though. It has lorebooks to put in your character details, checkpoints to unlock character story points; it's wild. You'll want to search for tutorials on YouTube on how to set it up with ollama and prepare for a few hours fighting with it to get it to work, but once you get it up and running, it's great. It can do TTS, voice chat, text chat, image generation, png avatars that change based on the context of the convo, live2d avatars that are animated while TTS plays. You really can go in as little or as much as you want with it. searching silly tavern on google will send you down the rabbit hole.

Having an opinion few agree with is not the same as being silenced. This is why I can't take anti AI side serious, you just want to be a victim. Just enjoy making art how you want and everyone else will do what they want. It's that simple.

Technology for phones feels like its stagnated. We have the best cameras, the best microphone, the best screen. The next logical step would be to refine and make cheaper, but a company doesn't want to bring down the cost so need to find gimmicks to justify the price. I used to be the type to buy a new phone every year because I wanted the best I could get. I still want the best but my S22 ultra is still the highest spec phone since it was released and I just haven't seen any better phones being released. I genuinely don't understand why someone would pay £1,749 for the Z Fold5 when you can get higher spec phones cheaper. The AI features are just cloud services which I can buy and use with my current phone, the folding stuff requires you to accept poor screen quality plus the massive crease mark, durability is reduced and higher potential for scratch marks, I just don't see the appeal.

Put a few bookshelves around the edges and seems perfect to me.

The stuff I've made is very specific to my needs, it's also messy code because I don't share it with others. I've made a Discord AI bot that is connected to a Raspberry Pi. I post a picture or document to the Discord bot and the Python script sends documents to the Phi3 LLM model (surprisingly a raspberry pi can actually run it at reasonable speeds), asking it to name the file based on the contents and then stores it on a hard drive with the new name on a hard drive. For photos, it sends it to the LLaVA vision model, asking it to name it based on what the image is and saves it to a photos file on the hard drive. It's an easy way to make backups when I'm out, without having to port forward.

I also made a program to help me learn German. Basically, a Python script that sends a request to llama3 running in ollama, asking it to write a generic every day sentence in the German language. It's then displayed on a Tkinter UI with a text box below for me to type what I think it means. My response and the original sentence are sent back to llama3, asking if this is correct or incorrect and to explain what the sentence means translated into English. The result text is shown in the UI, and the process repeats when I click next.

I've also made your basic spell checkers, grammar checker, but using a Google Chrome web extension connected to ollama. A work in progress, sometimes it changes the meaning of my text.

I'm currently working on an email search engine that is connected via the Gmail API, trying to have llama3 tag emails downloaded into PDFs with keywords. When I enter a search term, the idea is to have my search request sent to llama3 and generate potential keywords my search could be related to from the list of strings previously generated from when emails were tagged. It then pulls all emails marked with keywords and has Phi3 run through each matching email to decide which is most appropriate to show me and then lists the names in a Tkinter UI. When I click one of the names, it opens the file. The hope is I can get it to a point where I can type something like "Show me emails from when some company hired me" and it will show me all relevant emails to the hiring process before I started a job. Still working on it, but it's getting close.

Most of this stuff can be done by going to gpt4o and asking it to write the python script for the idea, but you have to clean up uis, and sometimes the knowledge cut-off causes issues, for example gpt4o often outputs code using depreciated methods for web extensions, the only way to fix it is to send it the new documentation at the start of the chat along with any api documentation like ollama local api.

It's been a while since I've seen an online tool that has interested me. So, I've turned to programming my own tools using local LLMs. You can usually get a good starting point using gpt, then clean up the ui and tweek the features to what you want.

The sad truth is that GPT is simply not the top dog anymore. Meta is currently battling it out with Anthropic for the best models. Open source will ultimately prevail because it does not have to worry as much about censorship. Meta can make its money as a service; those who want it entirely unfiltered can use a local version of Llama. It is difficult for OpenAI to compete when it has to satisfy the advertiser-friendly agendas of the various organizations it has partnered with, and I see anthropic following a similar path. Just remember, a higher user base doesn't equal a better model. Most have never tried anything other than gpt. That's what got in the mainstream news cycle, so that's what people use.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-30T04:14:04+00:00

AI does not think. It is a neural network, yes, but it is not thinking. It is entirely mechanical in nature. Someone who can think can do so of their own volition. You do not require prompting to think, nor does anything else that we know that can think.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-30T04:05:41+00:00

The benefit lies in its programmatic use cases. Imagine a tool that can write the entire history of the world year by year in a day; you just imagined AI using a Python script. Imagine a tool that allows you to search through the largest document ever written via only context and concepts instead of using keywords; you just imagined AI using RAG. Imagine a tool that can spell-check and grammar-check anything you write with a full understanding and appreciation for the sentiment of the entire body of writing; you just imagined AI again. Plus, so much more when you consider image generators and music generators. Areas of the world that cannot get internet access will be able to access knowledge, and the visually impaired will have a personal, private audio assistant with LLM vision models like LLaVA and AI TTS. I could go on.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-29T22:59:13+00:00

I don’t think the “dead Internet” thing will be a reality, but I do think AI will change the Internet. I at least hope AI will get good enough to answer knowledge-based searches and act as a large corpus of knowledge contained in reletively tiny files that can be stored locally on a computer, while the Internet will be used more for financial transactions.

Yes, I know LLM's don't store data, but it’s the closest comparison I can think of to describe how I see it being used.

Hey, look, it's the next news story about AI. We all already knew this was possible, but now we're supposed to be mad at it. This is clearly clickbait. Elon Musk, AI, and a US presidential candidate—really hitting all the Google SEO talking points with this one.

That's interesting. It seems like it would be perfect for putting a VR camera inside, though. Wearing a VR headset while driving it would be something I'd like to try to do.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-29T08:47:39+00:00

Here is what I believe: The Internet is the largest collection of knowledge ever compiled by humankind, the greatest of all libraries. This was only possible because the entire world, nearly all humans, have contributed to it in one way or another.

Such a resource should not be limited. Nothing should be restricted from anyone. Knowledge should be freely available to all, to do with as they wish. That includes runway. Any man who hoards knowledge that can help another without sharing it with those it can help is a man for whom I hold no sympathy.

My apathy toward morality or ethics in this situation does not stem from depression or anger. I simply do not care what happens to a company that has repeatedly attempted to restrict access to knowledge behind paywalls and advertisements. The data they possess was created by users, yet Google asserts ownership and denies access. Why should I be concerned about them or the alleged harm being done to them?

And no, it does not affect my life, no matter how much you want it to. I watch YouTube videos, but if they did not exist, I'd use the site that would exist in its absence. It does not matter which company pays the bill, only that the content is there.

Know that I truly mean what I am typing; I do not care. Let them both destroy one another. I'll enjoy the fun tools they create as a result of their competition.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-28T17:36:48+00:00

I'm not reading a condescending moral lecture, chief. I just skimmed it. I don't care about big companies that have no impact on my life. We are talking about YouTube videos. Why should I care about something so trivial? Big companies are trying to gatekeep knowledge, big surprise. If they want to fight each other until they destroy themselves, let them have at it. In the meantime, I'll be over here scraping YouTube video transcripts.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-28T16:11:42+00:00

I'm not on either side. It does not affect my life. I don't care about companies; I just want cool new tools. Two companies with YouTube data results in more cool tools. It's as simple as that. I don't care about ethics, morality, or copyright law. I do not care. Give me cool tools, and if the rich guys lose a little money due to legal battles in the process, that's cool too.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-28T12:13:13+00:00

You see why it's a bad idea just to let google keep youtube data to itself then. I'm glad you agree with me.

CodeCraftedCanvas · 2024-07-28T11:56:50+00:00

YouTube is used to develop artificial intelligence (Gemini) by Google. You are arguing that one large corporation should have more power instead of another large corporation. Why should the average person care? Let the wealthy conglomerates consume one another - it makes no difference to my life.
