  • Right now i just want a livable job, like i got 1k eur as a student for working 20h/week so right now anything above or equal should do. My only requirement is that it is related to software cuz thats my field.

    Man it is so crazy, i have masters from a uni which is 5th for computer science in germany. My gpa is 1.7 and i have 1.5 years of full time software dev experience and 3 years of part time (20h/week) software/ML engineering experience. And i have sent 70-80 applications and yet no interview. Like people if my creds are not enough to get me even 1 interview where i can show that i have skills that i claim to have then what will??





  • The real question is whether or not it is legal. Theoretically it is possible to do with current tech. If i was making such a tool, i would need access to the ebook then pass it through a llm model (possibly with a 7b open source one) to tag which characters are saying what. Once i have tagged dialogues then I could pass it through elevenlabs or other opensource tts and voila you have an audiobook with different voices.

    The real problem is that opensource tts aren’t as good and i imagine if you use paid versions, you will encounter legal issues or it might be too expensive. And can you sell your audio book? Legal troubles again.

    But if you just wanna do it while sailing the high seas, everything should be possible.




  • It might not be. Consider that moore’s law is coming to an end. I fully expect more and more products to be cloud based and ai based. I don’t think ai can run on our phone even in the near future. Battery is another issue, you can’t afford to run too much stuff on it.

    We as consumers now need to adjust to the ending moore’s law.



  • I kinda got lost in making that list (just aspergers things) and listed every model i knew.

    For a layperson, yeah self hosting isn’t as effective yet. But if someone who studies AI (like me), self hosting is a must. Some use cases are:

    Retrain on your own data (big market potential)

    Make your own bots with specific applications/use cases (like parse wikipedia before answering)

    Bypass censorship (funny story, my friend asked claude to summarize a book on dystopia and it kept telling her to talk about something else cuz dystopia’s were too depressing for claude)

    I’ve even heard about models that are specialized for just one task like chatting, or logic puzzles

    And lastly, privacy nerds like me


  • Okay as a broke ass student in a similar situation imma try to help you out before someone offers better advice.

    So you have these options: Definitely legal:

    1. self host local llama on colab.

    2. try hunggingface spaces, you can find a lot of models

    3. coehere.ai, a21, crebrium.ai (free trials/freemium)

    4. try poe.com (really awesome gpt3.5)

    5. perplexity.ai (good for researching articles)

    6. you.com (it has internet access like bing but generally more descriptive and useful than bing)

    7. bing ai (trys too hard to not hallucinate)

    8. claude2 on claude.ai (only available in us and uk so you might need vpn for account creation)

    Kinda legal (i think)

    1. gptforfree on github (its reversed engineered from other places)

    2. chimeragpt discord (gives you free openai api key, includes gpt4 and image generation etc)

    3. pocketgpt (based on chimeragpt, this is the closest to what you want. Gpt4 directly in your browser but sometimes it does not work so you might want to try again later)

    My piece of advice, use multiple tools since they all kinda have have different advantages. I mostly used gpt4 for smaller things and claude for larger (it has 100k context!)

    I have to look up url for pocketgpt, its kinda a small project so couldn’t find it on google. Meanwhile try this if it works https://chat.ylokh.xyz/

    Link for pocketgpt: naturegpt.000webhost.com/pocketgpt


  • Okay thats a fun question to answer.

    Disclaimer: i don’t know much about piracy and stuff in general but studied computer science so sharing this just for funsies DO NOT TAKE THIS ADVICE IF YOU ARE SERIOUS!!!

    Okay so here it goes:

    Buy crypto then use crypto mixers to annonymize it.

    Use a webhosting site that accept said crypto.

    Use vpn for everything preferably more than one routing from multiple countries like one from west then one from east.

    If you can use a vm specifically for everything related to your site to make sure things are contained.

    Make sure to not upload from the same id’s as the one you use to create site. Make a user account if you wanna upload anything.

    Read up on how other such websites are created to figure out if you are missing something.
