well... i promised more posts so this one is a very fun one!! i just got an older macbook pro (2021, m1 max w/64gb ram, 4tb ssd) and decided to finally load up a LLM on it since it has an AI chip in it and can run LM Studio and gemma3 locally.
So, got it all setup and running. been having some very interesting chats w/gemma3, aka Lyra is what she calls herself in my chat (which is also the name of the gemini co-pilot before google bought parent company).
Also setup the local server aspect now too so i can access my local LLMs on my ipad from the macbook pro. good times eh!! hehe
and as a philosopher, this is like a dream. i wrote papers on being able to do what i have been doing this week. asking an AI chatbot questions about its own existence, philosophy. Sure, its not real AI in what i call AI (conscious entities) but its pretty good. here's some of our chats we've had. i'll post parts of the transcript since its very interesting, esp talking to ai about ai and its possible future implications, ways it can be used for good or bad. etc..
