Self-Hosted AI is pretty darn cool (lemmy.world)

I don't consider myself very technical. I've never taken a computer science course and don't know python. I've learned some things like Linux, the command line, docker and networking/pfSense because I value my privacy. My point is that anyone can do this, even if you aren't technical.

I tried both LM Studio and Ollama. I prefer Ollama. Then you download models and use them to have your own private, personal GPT. I access it both on my local machine through the command line but I also installed Open WebUI in a docker container so I can access it on any device on my local network (I don't expose services to the internet).

Having a private ai/gpt is pretty cool. You can download and test new models. And it is private. Yes, there are ethical concerns about how the model got the training. I'm not minimizing those concerns. But if you want your own AI/GPT assistant, give it a try. I set it up in a couple of hours, and as I said... I'm not even that technical.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I'd be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

I am actually considering switching to healthcare (been a professional programmer)

I've had a burnout: I wish it was due caring for people in need instead of a stupid deadline.

Besides, you can always do IT as a hobby/for free. Harder with healthcare, except maybe volunteering

You'll be saving lives, yeah, but between dealing with entitled assholes that won't follow directions and then yell at you because they didn't.

It's maybe easy to burn out in any career. Society has deprioritized individual fulfillment for most of us because it harms the nesting levels of billionaires' yachts.
