  • How good’s your computer? Running locally is always the best option, but an 8-13GB model is never going to be as good as the stuff you’d find hosted by major companies. But hey, no limits and it literally never leaves your PC.

    You can find models on Huggingface, and if you don’t know what you’re looking for, there’s a subreddit where they have a weekly discussion on enthusiasts favorite models. I don’t remember the sub’s name, but you should be able to find it easily enough with a google search like “reddit weekly AI model thread”. Go to the poster’s profile and you’ll find all of the old threads you can read through for recommendations.






  • It kinda is a necessary evil, if you want free content at least. Especially for a website like youtube where you need to host millions of large videos 24/7. That shit ain’t cheap, and even google can’t make money out of thin air. Not that I’m defending youtube or anything, charging $8 a month for premium lite but still giving you ads is insane. Paid services should never have ads.

    My problem isn’t with ads, but rather the type of ads used. Like I said a moment ago, I don’t think paid services should ever have ads of any kind. But for free websites, a few side banner ads are fine in my book, while ads in the middle of a page or popup ads or video ads (especially unskippable ones) are a no-go. Essentially anything that doesn’t interrupt what I’m doing is usually something I’m okay with.
