I have avoided AI (LLMS) because it didn’t seem nearly useful enough to warrant supporting these tech assholes. Is there anyway to use it locally on a normal device (16 Gb ram, 8 year old Geforce graphics, etc?). Can I just slow it down and get it to work locally?

    Mac address isn’t needed anyway. Fingerprinting is very sophisticated now. Obfuscation of your host is nearly impossible. Many technologies exist that can look at maybe five things to fingerprint you. Things you can’t change like timing of various events; a few little probe JavaScript object to see how quickly your machine renders an object will be very unique to you.

      Oh, it’s absolutely possible to obfuscate your fingerprint.

      You know you’ve done it when you get banned from websites immediately after sign up. Websites that sell your account data expect to uniquely identify you. And if they can’t, immediate ban.
