Odysee presents new AR-based payment system, discontinues Stripe payment and LBC content boosting:
odysee.com/@Odysee:8/introduci
(Discontinuing LBC support probably means the platform won't be connected to the LBRY blockchain anymore. Also, content discoverability will be hurt pretty much, even if creators can get monetized, smaller creators will have a much harder time being discovered. I get that their new parent company Arweave is probably forcing them to switch to their crypto stuff and ditch LBRY, but it will probably just hurt the platform in the long run, especially because the new payment system requires signing up to an additional service, which many people are not a big fan of.)

Hat hier jemand Erfahrung mit dem Betrieb eigener KI-Systeme? Nachdem der Chat von HuggingFace seine Tore sehr unerwartet und spontan geschlossen hat, bin ich auf der Suche nach freien Alternativen.
Eine Option könnte sein, so einen Chat mit den passenden LLMs selbst zu betreiben. Dafür wird dann aber eine vernünftige GPU nötig. GPU-Hosting scheint im Vergleich mit den gängigen V-Servern recht teuer zu sein. Zumindest für mich, ist das nichts, was ich ohne Finanzkonzept mal kurz buche ... Die günstigsten Preise lagen bei etwa um die 200 - 300 € pro Monat. Da scheint mir die Anschaffung eines lokalen Servers mit einer passenden Grafikkarte von Nvidia die mittelfristig günstigere Lösung.
Stimmt das? Übersehe ich dabei etwas?

Wie viele User können eigentlich auf so einem "simplen" Computer mit einer etwas besseren Grafikkarte parallel Anfragen stellen?

Hat hier einer / eine von euch Erfahrung und Tipps?

How to make income online with 2D/3D animations.

Step 1. Ask #Huggingchat to generate your script
Step 2. Make a storyboard in #krita
Step 3. Edit your assests in #Krita #GIMP #ImageMagick
Step 4. Create your animation in #blender #OpenSCAD #freecad #Friction #synfig #pencil2d #Glaxnimate #FFmpeg
Step 5. Put it all together in #kdenlive #shotcut #flowblade #natron
Step 6. Upload your video to #odysee
Step 7. Promote your content on #mastodon #peertube #pixelfed #xmpp #matrix #irc

I absolutely love #ollama. I just started using it today. It makes using and installing an open source #LLM super easy and fast. For example I can use #Llama 3.2 with 3B parameters. I think it will revolutionize how I work. I already use #Huggingchat, although it runs on Huggingface's servers. ollama allows you to use open source #LLMs on your own computer. And if you are able to use shell commands, you can combine ollama output with other commands, and the possibilities are basically unlimited.

@itsfoss HuggingChat is an AI service that wants you to register and login before you are granted access to their platform. They need to know at least some information about you before you can use their service.

So you want me to believe that ChatGPT, an AI service that does not care enough about you and allows you to use their service as a "guest" is supposedly worse than HuggingChat?

Are you sure about this?

I noticed a change in the #HuggingFace #HuggingChat #ChatGPT like service. In the past HuggingChat had an option to allow or disallow the use of your conversation to improve open source #LLM models. Now, that option is gone.

Looking at their #privacy policy, HF makes a very clear #DataPrivacy statement: your data will not be used for model training. Which should allay privacy concerns.

Are you more inclined to use HuggingChat over ChatGPT or #Gemini?

Hey HuggingChat, erstelle einen Powerpoint-Foliensatz zur Einführung in das Thema KI. (...)

Formuliere deine Folien in Markdown, damit sie später über Pandoc in das endgültige Format umgewandelt werden können. Beginne neue Folien mit einer Überschrift (#) oder einer horizontalen Linie (---). Abbildungen kannst du ebenfalls einfügen ( ![Alt Text](image-url){width=20%} ).

I want to recommend a web interface for communication with open source LLM — HuggingChat. On the site, you can use Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1, #CodeLlama 70b, #Llama 2 70b, and a couple of smaller models as well.

Also, the site has its own version of #GPTs — assistants. Since the #HuggingChat service is significantly less known than ChatGPT, there aren’t as many assistants yet. But their presence alone pleases me greatly.

Digging into a dream, I asked #huggingchat which building has pencil windows with a rectangular top.

It instantly proposed the Seagram Tower. Which does not have pencil windows. The rectangular top it envisaged was the Seagram roof. Not at all what I meant.

Utterly useless but absolute.
