A lawyer I know who specialises in rape, and is excellent at getting the obviously guilty exonerated, lost a case last year because of GoPro videos.

Her client was recording while committing the abhorrent crime. The criminal would otherwise have got off.

From my perspective, the GoPro camera produced a good outcome. Still, one has wonder why anyone to record their criminal actions.

word "her" in this context gave me heavy feelings, what makes one to pick such a career move...

I was surprised to learn that the M1 Max CPU is an ARM/SoC, comparable to an 11th gen Intel i9 Do I have it right? Would Windows ARM performance be similar for those cpu? ref: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/4585vs4245/Apple-M1-Max...

No comparison. M1 Max has 400GB/s RAM bandwidth while Snapdragon X2 Elite, the latest and greatest , has 228GB/s RAM bandwidth.

I don't disagree with your conclusion but the comparison of max bandwidth between the two SoCs is not enough. Neither of them will use all of that bandwidth doing AI work because the GPU will be compute limited. That's why dedicated GPUs perform so significantly better without having significantly higher bandwidth.

This number sounds much more reasonable than “669 GB”, since the actual total size of processed frames would be like 10-30 GB. (Not downplaying anything.

> Aha, it makes total sense. This number sounds much more reasonable than “669 GB”, since the actual total size of processed frames would be like 10-30 GB. The reason why is “669 GB” is the total raw footage size when I'm doing the video processing, I downscaled each frame to 720p to make the video processing much faster and I don't need full original quality in order to get accurate results (as far as I know and exp…

What PAYG providers do people here recommend? Most powerful machine at home is an M1 MBA (16GB), so I too am interested in short term options where I can still benefit from the privacy of local models

Earlier quoted context omitted.

do you use android and ios, or is there another benefit to having personal media with both?

Can you please elaborate more?

I think most people are either in on Google or in on Apple whereas the OP indicated they have their media stored with both

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but I think this is an interesting question. Would deep seek be useful here since it is local?

just because it is local does not mean it wouldn't reject explicit content. you can definitely try and find abilated models and can attempt to use unsloth or something similar to tune it properly.

Is abliteration even necessary. While “playing around” I have noticed that most models are very strict only in the first prompt. The moment you get past that with a good turn, the next turn on you can get them to do _anything_.

Something I've enjoyed more than I expected is Google and Apple photos sending me photo memories and compilations of various things in my life and my kids lives over the last decade. I'm really bullish on taking more video of my kids, with the thought that it will become easier and easier for AI to put them into little compilations I can enjoy later.

do you use android and ios, or is there another benefit to having personal media with both?

I run both on my phone as a lazy (but flawed) backup strategy.

The GoPro, it's called HiLight Tag.
