Looking to follow any serious home lab plebs.

I want to upgrade my setup for long term use and add different devices (camera, NVR, media server, etc).

I’ve been looking at different options (Ubiquiti, etc).

#asknostr

@RUNSTR gives me an error while trying to look at “View History”. iOS version…

Just topped up my @PayPerQ account using @Cake Wallet Lightning Wallet.

I can now use Lightning or Monero

The new AI era is a scam, worrisome and here is why:

1- Garbage in, garbage out: depending on the model performance and context size, more than often you can get a stupid answer that you simply say “are you sure”? And your model starts hallucinating and get paranoid.

People often take the first answer as gold without critical thinking

2- AI is objective, not instinctual: Live is often made of grey area. The use of critical thinking and gut feeling is often the fruit of experience and instinct. No matter how we train models, it will never be able to make critical decision or suggestions that could replace gut feelings.

3- vibe coding: Amateur and overnight developer are a vulnerability for the entire technological Secteur. Amateurs copy pasta AI into coding like it’s hot and a lot of mistakes or critical security vulnerabilities are created.

If you don’t know python or any programming language, please step aside.

4- influencer pandemic: Your AI agent will cost you a fortune in API credit and hardware and will only profit the influencers, Apple and API credits companies. You will never ROI and will find out how useless it is.

For the influencers, that Mac Mini is a tool for engagement farming and will ROI ten folds in X add revenue in FIAT.

If you see a video of a chick in Lulu that have no idea what to do with Openclaw and doesn’t know a thing about AI, please avoid like the plague.

TLDR; You shouldn’t be scared of the rise of Artifical Intelligence but rather be terrified of the declined of Normal Intelligence.

So which models are you guys using for normal conversations?

Llama3 8B instruct seems to be limited in its reasoning.

I don’t want to pay a fortune by inference

The problem with AI API keys is the “JUST IN CASE”.

I am trying to iron out the best possible scenario. I am using the Venice AI ecosystem.

Sometimes my mind wonders if have these daily credits that I do not use are acting more like vulnerabilities since these tokens are volatile.

Sometimes I explore in my mind the scenario of liquidating these tokens and simply use a service like @PayPerQ with #monero or #bitcoin top up.

VVV have a 7 days lock up and by design you cannot exit rapidly.

I don’t use that many credits daily; I do not code, I just keep “just in case”.

I’ve been reading and experimenting with AI Agents and anything AI related for a while.

I cannot wrap my head around a useful case for Openclaw.

The only information i get out of it are from influencers that buy Mac mini and say how smart their Agents are.

Besides admin task to manage influencers workflow. For any decent human, why the fuck do I need an Agent to read emails or txt my mom.

For my homelab I use N8N and Cron.

I use different API keys and inference. Why would I need more??

I am pretty bored with #bitcoin or #monero or crypto in general.

I think influencers and companies are the only one having any type of ROI because they get direct capital which are not tied to price action.

We are the exit liquidity
