AI on Cloudron
-
AI is set to make a lot of advances and appear in unusual places. Cloudron might be able to help.
This thread is to stimulate discussion and form an early focal point for AI related ideas and news for those on Cloudron interested in this topic.
To get the ball rolling, there is now an AI search engine available:
You.com permits you to request that an application be added to improve search results. For example, you could ask that SepiaSearch, (PeerTube's content search) be included. Owncast is federated too, and you could request that be included as an application, also.

@LoudLemur My impression (just impression) is that much AI requires significant computing power. I wonder if that is true, and i wonder how many are running Cloudron on VPS or bare metal with sufficient power.
But interested if it is possible.
I played around with some face generation stuff a while back.
Significant power required for real work.I have a mixed attitude to AI. Like many, I fear for how it will negatively affect humanity. Equally I wonder if, properly managed, it might be the only thing that arrests or reverses what sometimes seems like humanity's irreversible slide into stupidity !.

@timconsidine A relatively recent "gaming laptop" lets somebody run the stable-diffusion AI to generate art. If you have an nvidia card with a lot of vram, like a 3080, you can get impressive results.
I think old, gaming PCs could be a great use for Cloudron. They would have the RAM and GPU needed to do a lot of AI stuff as a hobby. We would need to show how to setup a Cloudron at home behind a router, and to have some Cloudron AI applications...

@timconsidine, Happy New Year to you! I hope it is a lot better than 2022!

@LoudLemur AI seems immaterial to a service such as Cloudron which essentially packages up FOSS/FLOSS applications so that users can easily install them.
Just as an aside, ChatGPT is proprietary. Microsoft will almost certainly use to ChatGPT to take some of Google Search's market share. Much like Windows OS, Microsoft will probably carefully guard the source code for ChatGPT.

Hopefully, people will not long from now be running Free Software, federated, self-hosted AIs that help each other learn by sharing crawls and data over a distributed network. That is one way I hope Cloudron could help.

I predict that eventually at least hundreds of millions of people will run FOSS/FLOSS. But there will still be proprietary software too.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Cloudron could make that a lot easier for people.
