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?

99% of AI models available are based on stolen work, so even running it locally is immoral...

    "Copyright" is immoral and exists to protect capitalists. Intellectual property as a concept needs to die, and knowledge needs to be accessable to everybody.

    This is what a person who has never developed anything would say.

    I will now reuse your work without attribution and claim it is the AI's fault. Easy.

    Everything you've made is now CC BY-SA too, awesome. Thanks for contributing.

    No problem, you're welcome. I also paid a small car's worth of money to a fascist oligarch while borrowing the fruits of your work. I, too, am very happy with this.

    But look at the bright side, you too can now pay a small car's worth of money to a fascist oligarch and then get some source code that may or may not be close to my proprietary stuff. You know, the one made from your stuff without attributing. This is fine.
