Use the internet while I have it (assuming people just all disappear suddenly) to download survival guides, solar panel repair/installation PDFs, maps, etc. Anything I can think of, I’ll download

AI would be really useful in this scenario. Have a whole internet’s worth of information at your disposal with a fraction of the storage costs.

Probably still want the actual manuals and guides for the important stuff tho…

without humans to keep it going the internet’s going bye bye quickly.

  I mean like, a local model. Hence the benefit of having the info at a fraction of the storage cost.

    oh man this is hilarious. so you think if the AI is local the corpus it’s been taught upon doesn’t need to be stored?
    
    it’s worse - you need the processing power (many many many gpus requiring enormous amounts of power) coupled to enormous amounts of material to educate the language model on.
    
    sorry man there aren’t any shortcuts.

    You don’t need to store the training data. What’s “hilarious” is how confidently incorrect you are.
    
    This, for example, is a model small enough to run on your phone that was trained on ~895GB of data.
    
    Even if I did need to keep all of that data, and even if I also needed to train it myself, what’s stopping me from just stealing all the equipment I need if I’m the last person on earth???
