But at this point it should be (maybe not OpenAI but some other organization). OpenAI is close to becoming a necessity and a human right just like education so it should be 100% free and accessible at some point. EDIT: I meant AI, not specifically OpenAI.

"OpenAI is close to becoming a necessity and a human right" is the wildest claim I have heard yet about AI. (Though it's possible that maybe someday I will agree with this).

I say this calmly, it's wild for you because you're probably part of the privileged group of people who can sustain themselves with a steady job and has no problem paying for it.

Question, why is this company a necessity and a human right?

See my edit. I meant AI generally (such as in AI-aided/enhanced learning, communication, teaching etc. etc.) not OpenAI the company per see. For disabled people (like me) first and foremost but right after the general populace as well.

There are smaller open-source options that you can use, however they don't quite live up to using large open-source model (which likely won't fit on your machine) or commercial models like those of OpenAI.

This is great to hear. Thanks. I'll see if I can find them if only just for the sake of curiosity.

You can use https://localai.io if you have a GPU or Apple Silicon CPU to serve up local models with an OpenAI-compatible API.

Like having access to HN via some form of Internet access?

Envy doesn't create rights for oneself nor does it impute privilege to others, and people who read and write on the internet about privilege seem blinkered, to me, about how they'd sound to someone who walks two miles for water polluted by the mining of rare earth elements.

Do you know of a list of hardware recommendations to run this?

and some still say that AI isn't being overhyped.

What is your definition of a human right, and why does AI access meet it?
