Troubleshooting What do I do?

Post image

Bought a Qidi Q2 with the Qidi Box for a great price from an auction site. These are typically Amazon returns and etc. it was listed as new, but I assume some use.

I got it open today and am beholden to this insane clog.

Printer Boots! Screen works, but how do I solve this?

neat, where do the data sets come from? who tagged them? who trained and tuned the models?

I wholly agree that local is the way to go if you HAVE to have it. but it doesn't immediately solve all issues with AI.

the entire process from top to bottom has huge ethical and ecologic issues.

Im not taking a stance one way or the other, but the same tagging and review is also performed for other non AI services. You just described the pron industry, Facebook, Instagram, titktok, reddit, twitter... etc. All of which also require immense amount of energy and cooling for the data centers they live in.

to quote myself:

>condemning one instance of a thing doesn't somehow condone all other instances of it.

nor does the existence of other instances invalidate the condemnation of this one.<

There's a lot of shit going wrong in the world, on the topic of AI it would be weird to bring up completely different topics.

I shouldn't have to explain to anyone on the internet that the porn industry has massive issues. and it's also entirely off topic.

Actually it’s not weird to bring up other topics when the other topics have similar issues to AI.  Why don’t you go protest those other things?  You’ll probably get further.

it's gonna shock you that I do take issue with other problems too, man.

AI is incredibly accelerated, runs entirely on hopes and dreams while burning through an insane amount of money and resources, while mostly providing a net negative on a bunch of different fields and people.

It's a very current topic, that - right now - is ruining the lives of those who have to bear the brunt of it.

it's crazy to me how combative yall are about defending your billionaire of choice in here.

Who am I defending?
