Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I'm going to assume this thing would run a model locally because the alternative would be insane, especially if you're doing it to reduce the costs relative to hiring a teacher. And if it's running a local model, then it's at worst speed running climate change as much as a similarly-long gaming session.
Which is probably the future of embodied AI in practical situations - running a local model in an appropriately designed robot body to the task domain at hand. If for no other reason than because in real applications you're not going to want response time relying on network turnaround for any important task, or most tasks that involve interacting with the physical world in general.
