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You might've been running an outdated version of Ollama or something, or maybe just a model that wasn't set up in a way Ollama liked. It sometimes has some compatibility problems with some particular models or the way they're configured/implemented, it's sort of stupid how it happily pulls models from huggingface but without actually configuring them correctly in many cases, but generally it fully supports MoE and all that stuff. Generally you can trust that the ollama-hosted models will pull and run correctly, but huggingface (where the better and more interesting models live) can be a crapshoot, it's just the way it pulls and configures them though, there's not actually broken.
