"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It doesn't need to be running at full power, it can be slow but deadly. And 99% of users are not gonna notice a random program using 10% of their resources.
Not sure if that would work, a restart resets all progress. If the program didn't finish inside the 8 hour workday then it will never progress. Add to that that the ai will use the same amount of ram no matter how much you slow down the CPU and you'll still slow down the PC immensely. The small models also aren't smart so they would break often too.
Edit: Does a working PoC exist? Shouldn't be hard to (dis)prove.
