Exactly, and a lot of big companies in US are heavily reliant on Chinese models already. For example, Airbnb uses Qwen cause they can self host it and customize it. Cursor built their latest composer model on top of Kimi, and so on. There are far more companies using these tools than making them, so while open models hurt companies that want to sell them as a service, they’re lowering the cost for everyone else.

necessity is the mother of invention as the saying goes

Do elaborate. The tech industry has gone through many cycles of going from mainframe to personal computer over the years. As new tech appears, it requires a huge amount of computing power to run initially. But over time people figure out how to optimize it, hardware matures, and it becomes possible to run this stuff locally. I don’t see why this tech should be any different.

Oh look the EU is rolling out its own version of MAX. 🤣

It’s true, being indoctrinated, you’re not actually capable of rational thought, and therefore unable to make a coherent point. Glad you’re self aware enough to admit it.

I love how you just can’t help yourself reply compulsively. We’ve already established that you can’t actually make a coherent point, and are just lashing out. Take the L and go home.

It’s as if you just have a Pavlovian response to anything AI related, and then just try to deflect when pressed on your bullshit. Seems like some people on here have less mental faculties than a chatbot smdh.

The advantage with the agents is that they can do much better fuzzy searching when you’re not using exact terms, and they can correlate things for you. So, you can ask general questions and get useful information pulled out from your db. A searchable ZIM drive doesn’t do that for you.

You really don’t understand how having an AI agent look through your wiki and pull up relevant links quickly is useful? Also, what higher chance of failure are you talking about. It’s not like it’s an integral part of the system. The whole Ollama component is entirely opt in. At least try to make some sense here.

Oh, do elaborate. This ought to be good.

I don’t see any problem with using a chatbot to find information in a giant wiki myself.

Actually, having a local agent on the system with a bunch of data on it that helps you find things would be great for most people. People really need to get over the whole knee jerk reaction to all things AI related. It’s getting really tiresome.

What internet dependence, it’s completely offline once you install it. Also, nobody is forcing you to use the LLM bundled with it. Stop perseverating.

welcome to western media

yeah that’s the riff

It’s open source, and it’s not tied to a single server the way Signal is. If the original people developing it started doing problematic things, it’s easy to fork. One of the worst parts about Signal is how it’s designed to lock you into using their official app and server making it effectively impossible to have a compatible fork.

You deciding to invite your contacts to Signal isn’t really Signal being better though.

Do explain what makes it better than SimpleX Chat?

SimpleX Chat is an actual privacy focused app that’s easy to use and doesn’t harvest your phone number like Signal does https://simplex.chat/

Collecting your phone number on sign up is literally the opposite of anonymity. Perhaps you don’t understand what this word means?
