Not going to disagree with the tough world out there, I’m just going to suggest / ask a few things that are at least somewhat in your realm of control that might help.

• If you are willing to divulge this information - how much are you making at your current job, how much do you pay for rent and what are your expenses?
• Do you have any family members or friends you can reach out for support?
• What does the cost of living look like in your area? Any other options?

So… I guess she is a smart woman after all?

OTOH I hope OP is at least pretty.

And who was paying her 24 hr / day before Richard Gere’s character came along?

I do think it’s a useful distinction considering open models can be more than 100B+ nowdays and GPT4 is rumored to be 1.7T params. Plus this class of models are far more likely to be on-device.

No phones can run “LLMs” currently because by definition, large.

Some Android phones however can and does run smaller models locally. Gemini Nano runs on Pixel 8 and can run on Samsung phones.

It’s not a LLM, it’s a much smaller model (~3B) which is closer to what Microsoft labels as a SLM (Small Language Models, e.g. MS Phi-3 Mini).

To be brutally honest, many times I see Reddit / Lemmy proclaim, “Product X is dead because it did Y” - these claims are usually followed by surges in revenue / stock performance by said company and soon no one really talks much about it. Example - Netflix Password crackdown.

I mean, if you are listening to Daft Punk for lyricism, you’re doing it wrong.

Yes, again I’m not saying that’s how it should be, I’m saying what is.

Enshittification won’t be a thing if actual user experience matters as much as we like it to in business.

lol I don’t. The earnings report is public.

Sure but Google Search has been crappy for many quarters.

I’m not saying thats how it should be, I’m just pointing out what is.

I get your point but from a business perspective Google is doing pretty well (see last quarterly earning and they announced dividends for the first time). It’s good to be a shareholder and from that perspective the CEO is doing a good job.

Time and time again markets have shown, within reason, poor user experience and anti-consumer policies do not negatively impact stock price.

FTFY

You don’t need any subscriptions to use the API. It’s pay-as-you-go.

You don’t need a subscription. You just buy credits and it’s pay-as-you-go.

Source: me as that’s how I’m using it. No subscription fee / recurring payment needed.

It’s probably the best and fastest “AI-powered search” I’ve tried so far. Think of it as a search engine on steroids, which can handle complex questions and give you tailored responses. It’s also one of the few that really jumped out of the “text-based” chat format and really embraced more modern multimedia interface.

Simple solution, spend 1 second and decide to consciously ignore guy on internet for the rest of your life.

Works wonders for mental and physical health, zero downsides!

100%. The truth is hard to swallow but I’ve already seen people displaced by AI tech in other professions. It’s no leap at all to think this could happen in the arts and film industry soon.

Also I don’t understand the notion of “humans can do x so AI can’t replace us”. Fact is AI only needs to do 20-30% of what humans can do to put a ton of us out of a job. And it’s a bit delusional to think one is immune just because they studied “cinematography”.

Yeah I really feel bad for her, nobody deserves this
