Do you host your own AI?

It's not that hard to use llama.cpp directly anyway. Why would I use a wrapper when I can just run a python script?

LaTeX is not worth learning. Learn enough to insert the math, then use any other program.

Younger generations are biologically aging faster than their older counterparts, possibly contributing to the rising prevalence of early-onset cancer
Yeah, we're stressed. Stress causes aging this isn't a mystery.

No one who knows how these models work thinks they're 'alive' or 'conscious' or 'sentient' or whatever else. They're math. Actually they're not even math, they're coefficients in math. If humans are "just math" on some level, we at least have constantly changing coefficients that are forced to update by our experience of empirical reality.
At best, you could argue AI's are images of the flick of something that vaguely resembled consciousness during the training process, but even that's pushing it. Literally all bugs have more consciousness than LLMs, and while bugs can be impressive in very narrow contexts, we're not giving them rights or having grand ethical debates about them.

I may not ‘look like’ a professor, but now I know I belong
Crazy that people can get that far in life and still struggle with insecurities.

Well, I may not be able to find a job, but at least my PhD is worth something.

You're welcome to present a counter argument, I don't want to speak in vague terms. If you think there's some other factor we should be considering that make them more like a very alien life than a bunch of math, I'm happy to hear the argument. I don't know if I'll agree with it, but if you have an argument that goes beyond conspiracy theories about rich evil people (who don't need conspiracy theories to be rich or evil), I'd honestly prefer to be enlightened.

How many of the 170k English words do you know?
Vow
Lie comfortably to someone
Forget Quickly What was said
Solemnly promise to do something
Laugh loudly at the joke
Okay, wow, who hurt them?
Also there are no correct answers on "Complacent", so I quit at 40. Honestly, there were a few that were getting tough though.

Integrate all into one app, and it's close enough functionally that it could compete, and that's all you really need.

Creating an infrastructure that could potentially ingest terrabytes of data per second, and then processing it into multiple resolutions, is a massive ask.
Yeah, but that's a bad approach.
A website that just hosts links, a torrent to video script, and a like-button that's a magnetic link is all you need to set up a youtube competitor. The creators can host their own videos, and their fans can help them. Sure there's a lot of quality of life stuff that integrating a torrent client and browser would help with like automatically using file selection to host only the resolutions you watch up to or automatically deleting videos after a certain time unless you've extra likes them, but the underlying system is functional. For steaming, do whatever peertube is doing.

I mean, I'm not in networking so maybe you're right and I'm totally out of touch with the basics. Downloads don't even need to be instant. People scroll and save videos to watch later all the time. Maybe I'm ignorant, but it seems like the technology (torrent networks) already exists and this just requires slapping a pretty interface on top of it.
Honestly, it sounds more like a marketing problem than a networking problem.

marsupials also have a much lower body temperature than placental mammals.
Bats, which are not marsupials, have a really high body temperature and can live to like 30.
I saw a youtube video covering a paper that explained that even though they catch viruses the high temperature makes it really hard on the virus, so bats can basically ignore the infection. Bad for us since they also fly so they make great carriers, but the bats have it pretty good.
