>>42669 Still enjoying it, and FOSS in general

>>42672 Excellent. Once you're comfortable with Mint as a platform in general, I'd recommend you begin dabbling with the terminal and learning some of the vast array of UNIX commands available to you now. Many of these programs are kind of fun and informative, like fastfetch [1] and htop [2] (or even better, btop [3] ). Good luck, GreerTech! Cheers. --- 1. (installing it is one command + enter, per line): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zhangsongcui3371/fastfetch sudo apt update sudo apt install fastfetch fastfetch 2. sudo apt install htop htop 3. sudo apt install btop btop

I'm going to link this ITT -- despite it being pure electronics -- primarily b/c Ribose's interests in Spiking Neurons. --- Using Spiking Neural Networks to autonomously control an RC truck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL_UZBd93sw

I have an project idea, but I need some general advise. The goal is to have a local LLM running on a Linux server, which it could control via CLI. The user could talk to it and give it some tasks to do, but the main part would be that when left with nothing to do, it could decide it's own goals to pursue. (coding, writing a personal website, browsing the web...) One could say that the goal of the experiment is to achieve an AI that could operate mostly by itself and achieve something meaningful while doing so. This would give the waifu the ability to have her own life outside of user interaction, making her both more useful and more realistic. I am planning on writing some LLM wrapper, which would implement API for interacting with the system, as well as handling multiple levels of memory and personality, both controlled by the model itself. More complex features like MCP API support or connection to some external hardware are being considered as possible extensions, but the current plan is a simple, Linux-controlling, AI companion. My knowledge of the current local LLM landscape is severely limited, however, so I come here to ask for help. Are local LLMs there yet? What is the least demanding model that you would consider capable of operating a Linux system and not freaking out when left alone? How powerful hardware would I need to run it? What backend should I use? (ollama, llamacpp, something else) Anything else I should know/consider?

>>41860 Hi Anon, welcome! I wish I could help you, Anon. If some other Anons here don't step up, then I'd suggest you check out /g/ 's threads on these topics in general. In particular, focus on the Local Models General ( /LMG/ ) threads. Good luck with your project, Anon! Please keep us here informed as to your progress. Cheers. :^)

>>41860 I can offer some insights. - having powerful hardware will improve quality immensely, but you can get a lower form of this up now with smaller models. - It will have context limit challenges which will need to be overcome with smart uses of tokens and how you store memories, but you can have a functioning thing as you describe, but detailed memories will eat into this heavily. having different ranked memory tiers and clearing lower ones and a mix of other clever ideas can improve all of these issues, at this stage it's just a matter of having a "lower resolution" AI companion, you could probably later update your methods as tech advances, and greater hardware means greater resolution. - I would suggest using multiple models to parse and make your AI companion smarter and not stuck into the patterns and paths that each models holds close to and deviates towards. to keep it simple, load one model, think for a bit, switch models, think a bit, especially with current limitations I would let a large chunk of time when the companion is by itself computing, to go over it's past and it's token database and refine it and have discussions and debates with itself to self-improve and refine itself. - I would have these personally as modes which you switch from her active life and talking to you, and her maintenance/sleep mode where she improves her database. - I will use sillytavern just as the idea vessel here, as I am used to it but I have not done this work myself properly since I'm busy with life. . . . use something like the memory and world lore books to store memories and events, they can each have a comprehensive recording into essentially "quants" of the lore books, where your chat history is fully recorded as non-quanted, then various levels of condensing and sorting out less important info/tokens, then your companion will think for each task and memory which quant of each lore book is suitable keeping in mind limitations hardware and current state of LLMs. - basically it will have a large database which it will parse and read through similar to how you will have it load models one at a time to use then switching to another, it will load different sets of the full database at a time to parse it. - You do the usual things you would expect, writing the personalities, creating the framework of the database, then you just have it use auto-mode similar to how sillytavern has group chats with different personality card as the other character, which is sort of her maintenance/ recursive improvement mode, again, multiple different reasoning/COT models being swapped through will be ideal here specifically.

The good news here is it's possible on local, and the bulk of the work will be in maintenance mode when you are not interacting with her, but for it to be good it will be very slow, but this will be when you are sleeping or away. When you are chatting, you will simply have to accept lower quality speech to you to make it run at a reasonable tokens/second generation, but pulled from the refined database which she created during her past maintenance phase where she runs a stronger model at an abysmally slow tokens per second/minute rate for precision.

One thing I'm trying out is, in places that are more westernized/less otaku, I use the phrase "robogirl", instead of "robowaifu"

>>42534 Good thinking, Anon.

>>42404 >>42405 >>42427 Blackwaifus: GreerTech PMC Jokes aside, I do want basic security functions. Imagine this; You are hosting a party, and you're afraid that someone may sneak into your room and steal stuff. Your worst fear is coming true, but as they open the door, they see Galatea v3.0.7, watching them. It's like a ring camera, but mobile, indoors, and very conspicuous without being overbearing. Nannies for tweens will be a thing of the past. She can function as an alarm, and her eyes are removable.

For some reason YouTube decided to recommend me this video on Chinese sex dolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWbAWI_P5cQ (It knows too much)

>>42517 It's interesting to see how much is handmade. No wonder it's so expensive! If it was a less sexual* subject matter, it would considered fine art. *specifically non-performative heterosexual male sexuality

>>42520 >No wonder it's so expensive! Exactly my thoughts as well. I wonder if that is real human hair (there's a market for that), or some kind of fine synthetic. Regardless, I find that part of the operation (head assembly & decoration) particularly interesting. Must have taken quite a few iterations to develop the manufacturing techniques.

>>42190 If they're from the right 3DPD, they're a bargain.

The Thought Emporium recently did a video about cloning, but it's not really worth watching unless you know absolutely nothing about the subject: https://youtu.be/HW-aygjNU1Q But they do imply they plan on taking a bird or egg and try to see if they can grow another animal in it, and suggested they'll be trying it in a previous video. I would like to genetically engineer my own abominations with the same method if it works, but one of the comments on the video suggested something I hadn't thought of before: Axolotl Tanks from Dune. I had thought of genetically engineering cows to have anencephaly (birth defect where most or all of the brain doesn't develop) for the sake of making "lab-grown" beef that's as close to the real thing as possible. The "Axolotl Tanks" would basically be genetically-engineered women with a uterus and all of the organs need to support it, since even clinically brain-dead women kept on life support have been known to give birth. This is all leading me down a rabbit hole I didn't really want to go down.

>>42491 Seems pretty unethical especially when an artificial womb environment would be easier to control and give better results. If engineering constraints are your rational then a cow would be simpler but I don't think you will find people willing to help you with that.

>>42492 In the video it mentions that the whole placenta and umbilical cord formation part of cloning process is the biggest hurdle, which is why they're experimenting with cloned eggs, but alternatives to normal placentas, like the 3D printed placentas you linked earlier, are hard to make and not well tested. What I'm suggesting isn't really that unethical; if we can clone a cow and strip the brain development to create a braindead cow, then we can take human DNA and stop the development of basically everything until you have a self-replicating part that could make an artificial womb practical.

>>42498 Go checkout the work being done by colossal biosciences in artificial wombs.

I've been following the Future AI Society on youtube, but most of the videos they post have just been the same thing phrased differently, explaining how it works over and over again with barely any new information or demonstrations. https://futureaisociety.org/technologies/brain-simulator-iii-common-sense-ai-research https://vimeo.com/715690123 These videos are from May '22, but they're on the 3rd version of the brain simulator software by now. I can barely program anything, so the python code just looks like gibberish to me: https://github.com/FutureAIGuru/BrainSimIII
