Ah, that’s probably fair, i haven’t run many of the smaller models yet.

You could potentially run some smaller MoE models as they don’t take up too much memory while running. I’d suspect the deepseek r1 8B distill with some quantization would work well.

A couple follow-ups, are we limited by the rules of the game, or is it like we’re actually living there? Like if I’m in gta v, do i get to pick up a pencil and write a book, is everything in the game at real-life fidelity, or am i stuck with the regular game inputs and graphics?

Am i able to add mods to the game? Can i add new mods after my first startup? I would assume there’s a way to reset or restart the game in case of bugs and softlocks so maybe there’s a hub i can use to do those kinds of things.

I think i might pick gmod + mods. That way i could build some interesting projects in sandbox, play games that people make for it, maybe even watch some YouTube early on before compatibility breaks. I’d also have a 1:1 scale model of the multiverse to explore.

Very few people here seem to understand how high the bar is to get a violent revolution going.

Your average American upon believing that the revolution has started will shake their heads and maybe have casual conversations with their friends about that crazy revolution that got started while they drink beer at their local bar or bingo hall or whatever, and leave early cuz they gotta get up for work tomorrow.

No revolution is happening without the government making some serious disruptions to those people’s way of life, and even then most of them will just blame immigrants like they’re told.

I’d really like to see every new coin get rug pulled and crypto bros stop pulling their grift cuz nobody listens anymore instead.

And we now have an entire country open to talking about how much they want corporate executives dead.

Idk, the implication it seems your making is that this murder was bad, but I’d argue the result is pretty good here regardless of intentions (though their intentions seem pretty clear given the bullet casings)

I’ve re evaluated. The CEO was still definitely the baddie.

I’m going in

I wish we would all actually get behind that. I still hear people say that Elon Musk is the smartest man alive.

I’m genuinely impressed. I might even risk the blow to my mental health to see for myself.

Edit: yeah, holy shit, there’s a couple people going “jeez you guys are nasty. I didn’t like him either but still” and the rest are treating the shooter like a national hero.

They have the money to hire a 24/7 coffee shop on their private island. I don’t think it’s so bad for them.

Oh he is

I would simply prefer my car didn’t have any screens at all. If a new car just powered off the screen while not using the backup camera it’d have my attention so fast.

Know what? If it makes someone else happy then go for it. Hand me to some necrophiliacs while you’re at it, I will literally not care.

I’ve done this before on smaller parts and it works. The result is very ugly-looking in my case though.

It’s convenience. That’s really it. And I don’t like to admit it, but that level of inconvenience is too high for me to try using it that way.

Well, if the corporatized platforms all went to federated instances, it’d be a lot easier to pack up and move to a different platform, or fix the existing platform by choosing different instances. It would make those platforms better and we would probably still have our own spaces either using different protocols, or different clusters of instances who only federate with each other.

Threads being federated is not them actually trying to be federated, but trying to EEE the open competition, and I think that is more of a threat to us than people joining mastodon.

Edit: I’m realizing that I’m kind of contradicting myself here lol

I can totally believe that he didn’t know about mastodon, but even Bluesky is like a reasonable platform. Threads… I see literally no upside to using threads. It’s on a timer from the beginning to turn into another X. Just look at how long Facebook has been a cesspool of Nazi propaganda.

It really boggles my mind the cognitive dissonance of everybody constantly complaining about corporations screwing them over, then refusing to use the obvious solution to their problems.
