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...
  
  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
  
  🤣
  
  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?
  
  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
- 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
  
  My Canadian Girlfriend
  
  Broke, Busted, Burned Out
  
  My Canadian Server-Farm Girlfriend
  
  Smart, Sexy, Superconductive
- Let me go buy some milk.
- You have to at least move out of your AI parents’ server rack before letting your AI girlfriend move in.
- Nvidia^TM
- You need a little gpu server farm for proper models & context sizes though. Single consumer gpus don't have enough vram for that.
  
  Might as well just pay for a prostitute
  
  Yeah, I heard they're also very privacy friendly.
  
  Unless you piss them off
  
  I was being sarcastic. If you pay for a prostitute you might as well pay for an AI service such as novelai.
  
  Locally hosted AI sucking down on our dick through usb plugged dildos. This is the future.
