1. Download ollama and give it a try. It doesn't have to be that one but it's an easy on-ramp. Just get a feel for what open source/open weights is capable of 2. Mention it whenever it comes up. Most people have no clue this is a thing and I think it's useful to make people aware. We need access to uncensored / unbiased LLM models - information wants to be free but there are plenty of businesses gunning for regulator…

> Download ollama and give it a try Weren't people pissed off at them for a variety of reasons? Not giving attribution etc. In case anyone wants other good alternatives, there's llama.cpp and vLLM, each harder to setup but opens the door for squeezing more performance out of your hardware. I've also heard okay things about LM Studio and I think Unsloth had their own thing as well: https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio >…

I recommend llama.cpp over ollama.

Anyway, when you see a model on huggingface you get the exact commands to copy paste to run it locally.

Exactly why everyone needs to be hyper-focused on ensuring that the open-source ecosystem is healthy and that we don't let them shut that down.

how does one do that from their comfy chair?

OpenCode+OpenRouter is probably one of the easiest combos

Google was pretty amazing for about 15 years, not 1 to 2. Google rocked from its launch (1999ish) until around the time it shut down Google Reader (2013ish).

The actual reason was when they pushed Google+ and tried to make that the centre of Google. Everything else that had a social element had to be killed. Anything that breathed the same oxygen as plus got the boot.

...and them pushing Google+ despite their users best interests was the first signal the good years were finished.

Including the inanity of the + operator being a "this word unchanged must appear in results" modifier. So when they hot patched search, it broke, as +aliens looked for the plus name aliens only. Then some bonkers spokesperson for google said "oh just use quotes", which at the time did nothing even remotely the same. I loath this person for eternity, her lies, and her waving off of reporters concerns. Thus verbatim wa…

Im glad someone else still remembers the plus operator. I miss it.

The comments on this issue are unbearable.

The claudespeak immediately irks me now, then there’s also the irony of using Claude to complain about Claude

One thing worth noting is just how load-bearing it all is. Great point!

I feel like you legitimately cannot say it for legal reasons, but I wish we would just name these freaking things.

Didn’t OpenAI claim they’re going to make a billion dollars off ads in a year or something?

Yes, they promised ads would be separated from the answer and clearly labelled as such.

Just like when Google promised ads would be separated from the organic results and clearly labelled as such... Until they put them at the front of the result with a small grey "sponsored" label.
