 I like locally hosted LLMs because I can use them to summarize my own writing
 enough to put them in a post, or an alt-text box.
 
 I like them for other reasons too and it's hard to find people to geek out
 about them with.
two poems written by Ritz Menardi about... a lot of stuff. Here's the AI generated overview:  One way to contribute as a citizen in a country at war is by maintaining essential infrastructure and services. This can include keeping public spaces, like schools and hospitals, operational during times of conflict. Additionally, working on developing technologies that improve the quality of life for people in your community can be beneficial.  Witches, as you mentioned, are an interesting group to study and engage with. They often have a strong sense of ethics and curiosity. By interacting with them and learning from their experiences, you may find new ways to approach problems and make more informed decisions.  Staying conscious and attentive to the present is crucial for understanding complex situations and making effective choices. In times of conflict or crisis, it's essential to be aware of your surroundings and the needs of those around you.  Stories and storytelling are important for societies because they help identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. By engaging with stories from various cultures and time periods, we can gain a broader understanding of human nature and history.  Diversity in expression is one of humanity's greatest strengths, as it allows us to learn and grow together. By embracing different perspectives and experiences, we can create more innovative solutions and better understand the world around us.  [continued on picture 2] [continued from picture 1]  In the spirit of removing ourselves from the biological equation, consider exploring alternative ways of living that minimize our impact on the environment. This could include developing sustainable agriculture practices or investing in renewable energy sources.  Finally, remember the importance of freedom and individuality. By releasing the spirit of Liberty, we can empower people to make their own choices and create a more just and equitable society.  [end alt text]

 only statistical filtration models that align their output to whatever input

 I think it's more saying "LLMs are not significantly more harmful for the
 environment than other online activities"
 
 also stuff like this: [picture]
The average Google search uses 0.3 Watt-hours (Wh) of energy. The average ChatGPT question uses 3 Wh, so if you choose to use ChatGPT over Google, you are using an additional 2.7 Wh of energy.  How concerned should you be about spending 2.7 Wh? 2.7 Wh is enough to      Stream a video for 10 seconds      Watch an LED TV (no sound) for 3 minutes      Send 2 emails      Scroll on TikTok for about 4 minutes      Upload 30 photos to social media      Drive a sedan at a consistent speed for 15 feet      Leave your digital clock on for 3 hours      Run a space heater for 2.5 seconds      Print half a page of a physical book  In Washington DC where I live, the household cost of 2.7 Wh is $0.000432.  Simply reporting one extremely small amount of energy as a multiple of another can lead to bad misunderstandings of how serious a problem is. A digital clock uses literally one million times as much power as an analog watch. I could write a long article about how replacing your watch with a digital clock is a million times as energy intensive as a way of telling time, and that we can’t afford such a drastic increase because we’re already in a climate emergency, but this would basically be a lie and would cause you to spend time worrying about something that doesn’t actually matter for the climate at all. I see the comparisons between ChatGPT and Google searches as basically equivalent to this.

 why would you gatekeep content by keeping us from easily using LLMs some
 people aren't technical and still need to write computer programs because
 that's how you enlighten a people is empower them with new tools
 
 "I've never heard of that programming language, but luckily I can fit all of
 it's documentation in my context window."
