This is why you should always selfhost your AI girlfriend.

Woah there, I’m not sure I’m ready for that level of commitment.

I ain't got that kinda GPU to spare. If it's the games or my AI girlfriend...

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

you dont need that much power. something like a rx 6600xt/rtx 3060/rx580 is plenty

Is support for AMD cards better these days? Last time I checked it involved checking ROCM compatibility because CUDA needs nvidia cards exclusively.

gpt4all worked out of the box for me

I'd have to actually test my backup strategy

I'd only date someone fully independent, so my AI joyfriend operates their own cloud cluster through a combination of a crypto wallet and findom

They sound fun

[–] neutron@thelemmy.club 1 points 8 months ago

I'm interested. So you rent a cluster to run an instance instead of self hosting?

I think my wife is cheating on me with my self hosted AI girlfriend's boyfriend that lives in the same database file. What do I do?

[–] AZERTY@feddit.nl 18 points 8 months ago

Delete system32 obviously

For as long as everyone is using a virus checker, maybe you could try an open source relationship.

Sounds like a job for Little Bobby Tables

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That'll make you go blind

And give you hairy palms

Now consider the number of normal people in the world who do not have a server rack in their closet, and how much they are about to be defrauded and blackmailed

You have to at least move out of your AI parents’ server rack before letting your AI girlfriend move in.
