Quick question but what model are you exactly running with 3B parameter. The only decent model I can find which can compete sort of with Cloud models without costing a bank in GPU/RAM are the recently launched Qwen models (35A3B or 27B) which were released a week ago

My larger question to you is that even if it might not disappear in any moment, the fact of the matter still remains as if that its still a dependency. Is this dependency worth it? This is an open question and something I am still thinking.
> Third, it's hilarious that your response to a comment pointing out how difficult it was to get help from another human without being degraded, was to degrade me by calling me an LLM junkie. Maybe you should be worried that Gemini appears to have more capacity for empathy and self-awareness than you.
Gemini isn't real tho. It's still linear algebra with no regards to what it says or not. It's just trained on all the corpus data that Google can find and fine tuned to mimic it. By attaching real human qualities to Gemini, we dilute the value of those human qualities in those first place.
I don't necessarily know how "Humans" have treated you. They have treated me both good and bad but I am always more greatful to those who taught me or discussed with me things and helped me know something new. I very much feel like the same fine-tuning that I discussed earlier about models make those very agreeable and the chances of growth are rather limited.
> Fourth, given that you show absolutely zero concern or willingness to help when it comes to the difficulties faced by LGBT people or ADHDers, my advice to you is to take your fears and shove them up your ass.
Actually, You are a human as well so try to think it like this, I am sure you must've met both good and bad people and observed a few common characteristics of them. You are a human too and each second gives you a choice which can help you get either good or bad characteristics being better/worse each day.
Now my philosophy is to be good if not for yourself, then for others in the sense that you become the person that you wished could help you in your life and you can use that to actually help other people. This might be a little naive and practical nature sometimes might not follow this philosophy but yea.
So I want for you to reflect on what you wrote and think as if perhaps that might be a little too aggressive? and if that's what you want or not.
My or (our?) worry is that it feels like too big of a dependence on LLM which are fundamentally black boxes (yes, they are!), Humans can be bad but humans can be good too, I suggest even though it can be hard to have a good friend group (even if online) and talk with them about normal life issues.
Regarding, Coding, I would consider that there are some great people here on forums or Github or just about anywhere who are kind as well and can be helpful. Stackoverflow as an example had issues because of moderation problems which led to the community being hostile but to say that the whole of Software Engineering is such way might be wrong.
Speaking from personal experience, I may or may not have ADHD, I haven't diagnosed it yet but I definitely went into the AI=Producitivty rabbit hole especially more because I am a teen and I was in 9th/10th grade when ChatGPT came iirc. I knew basic python and knew the concepts of multiple languages and chatgpt felt hella addicting to be making websites in svelte all of a sudden where I can make one color button turn to another.
I wouldn't be lying if I say that I may not have learnt Coding effectively the way it was designed from its origin until quite recently. I was Vibe coding from the start and I have made quite some projects at the very least.
My observation is that its great for prototyping purposes but even after finally creating prototypes of most if not all the project ideas I ever had. I lost the motivation to continue and felt burn out. I did everything that I ever wanted to and made every project I thought yet the projects still felt hollow.
So, nowadays I am trying to focus more on studies for my college which can also act as a sort of recovery, to me it was also the fact that I was making these projects when I should've been studying in hindsight haha but I always just wanted to "prove" something (Yes I struggle with studies quite often but I wish to improve and I hope I can improve since I know from past that I can study often but its rather that I need my pure undirected focus on it which became hard for some time)
Recently, I went into a marriage of my own cousin. I found that to be much more fulfilling experience than expected. There is something about human experience both good or bad which can't be quantified.
I don't know what the future holds for me or you. But I wish you luck and hope this message helps ya. I personally realize that aside from prototyping which may be less meaningful than I previously thought at times, AI to me feels quite weak.
I think that for any product to really win, you might need true conviction in the product itself and at that point, the point of prototyping with AI or writing the code with AI to me becomes moot/redundant whereas AI is causing ram prices/storage to increase which is putting genuine projects out of luck as well. [This is one of the worst times to open a Cloud/VPS provider shop]
Perhaps I can understand AI use to get Open source tool when there were none or something but that to me seems like a cultural issue where Open source isn't funded so people are more likely to have it closed source to survive their likelihood but even that to me feels very moot point as there are some great open source projects as well who would appreciate each and every dollar that you donate to them, perhaps more so than a 200$ subscription of claude code as well which you might have to create the alternative to those in the first place as well.
My point still feels to me that it still feels hollow, I think you can find one of my other comments some days ago where I talk about this feeling of hollowness about AI projects as well which I can't help but feel relevant so many times. I am curious as to what you might think.
Have a nice day.
