> Cool achievement, but to me it doesn't make a lot of sense (besides privacy...)

I would argue that is enough and that this is awesome. It was a long time ago I wanted to do a tech hack like this much.

Well thinking about it a bit more, it would be so cool if you could

A) somehow continuously interact with the running model, ambient-computing style. Say have the thing observe you as you work, letting it store memories.

B) allowing it to process those memories when it chooses to/whenever it's not getting any external input/when it is "sleeping" and

C) (this is probably very difficult) have it change it's own weights somehow due to whatever it does in A+B.

THAT, in a privacy friendly self-hosted package, i'd pay serious money for

  • I imagine it could solve crimes if it watched millions of hours of security footage…scary thought. Possibly it could arrest us before we even commit a crime through prediction like that black mirror episode.

    • Oh, you're thinking of "Hated in the Nation"? More relevant would possibly be "Minority Report" (set in 2054) and Hulu's "Class of '09", in which the FBI starts deploying a crime prediction AI in their version of 2025.

      Quite scary. As the meme has it, it seems that we're getting ready to create the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
