Thanks, wow, amazing that you can already run a small model with so little ram. I need to buy a new laptop, guess more than 16 gb on a macbook isn't really needed
I've run LLMs and some of the various image models on my M1 Studio 32GB without issue. Not as fast as my old 3080 card, but considering the Mac all in has about a 5th the power draw, it's a lot closer than I expected. I'm not sure of the exact details but there is clearly some secret sauce that allows it to leverage the onboard NN hardware.
Super easy. You can just head down to https://lmstudio.ai and pick up an app that lets you play around. It's not particularly advanced, but it works pretty well.
It's mostly optimized for M-series silicon, but it also technically works on Windows, and isn't too difficult to trick into working on Linux either.
Looks super cool, though it seems to be missing a good chunk of features, like the ability to change the prompt format. (Just installed it myself to check out all the options.) All the other missing stuff I can see though is stuff that LM Studio doesn't have either (such as a notebook mode). If it has a good chat mode then that's good enough for most!
Most people that retire don't turn into murderers or anarchists. I find very interesting how people tend to picture the worst possible scenarios, maybe a lot of Movies or TV influence?
Technology that's putting those folks out of work (and into rioting, etc.) will also provide the tools to repress them. I don't like it, but that's the way it seems to me. E.g. Hong Kong.
So 'now' has a problem. We have no means to know if our social environment is actually stable or not. Currently we are in a long 'peace' after WWII. Maybe it will remain, and improving technology will improve our lives and and things will continue to remain stable. Or, we'll have further climate instability coupled with AI labor displacement and things will go to shit faster than they ever have in history.
The point is people that believe the world will be stable in the future are more apt to build a stable future. If everyone is watching the news and they believe the future will be unstable, then the future will become unstable as a self fulfilling prophecy.
A lot of people that retire from their careers pursue other interests that fulfill their needs, maybe it will be the era of amateur artists everywhere.
Others prefer to manually do tasks that can be automated.
Others could engage in cooperation with robots because humans will always have creative desires.
Amature artists doing what? Trying to figure out why human greed is insatiable, therefore they have no place to live?
There are any number of problems that have to be solved together. Giving the capital class hyper powerful AI robots so they can own the world while everyone else suffers is an AI risk.
Most framework devs don't have any incentive to stop adding features. What was a simple and elegant tool ends up trying to do much more and the additional complexity negates a lot of the benefits.
I think total disconnection on weekends cause more stress on Mondays and that's why most people hate them, you need a lot more cognitive effort to resume work.
The study group were mostly customer support agents. The nature of that work is very different from other knowledge workers so probably the results don't map to more creative fields.
