Fuck AI

R1 last i checked seems to be decent enough for a local model. customizable. but that was a while ago. its release temporarily crashed Nvidia stock because they showed how smart software design trumps mass spending on cutting edge hardware.

at the end of the day its all of our data. we should own the means, especially if we built it by simply existing on the internet. without consent.

if we wish to do this, its crucial that we do everything in our power to dismantle the "profit" structure and investment hype. sooner or later someone will leak the data, and we will have access to locally run versions we can train ourselves. as long as we dont allow them to monopolize hardware, we can have the brain, and the body of it run local.

thats the only time it will be remotely ethical to use, unless its the persuit of attaining these goals.
