When I was a child, I had a lot of stuffed animals. I say child, but I played with stuffed animals up until I was 15, and only stopped because others said it was weird. I made personalities for them. I could have made "fan art" or something of that nature, but it existed in my imagination, and sometimes, I'd sketch it. I also played with ALICE, which came naturally to me, then.

Well, it turns out that this is all highly autistic stuff, including playing with toys and stories long later than other children. It's also fascinating to me that these are the qualities which, in my opinion, make deeply autistic individuals great clickworkers/trainers in AI. They realize they're curating a personality, partially as an escape from real people and their cruelty, and are okay for that. A lot of autistic will end up needing AI, and that's okay, because it's better to have something and need it than to need it and not have it available. I hope that as AI improves accessibility features, its benefits are considered alongside costs, to provide more functional AI wherever possible, if cheap and energy-efficient enough.

I hope people don't lose their desires to develop their own skills because of AI. I'm not that good of a drawer, and never will be, but I'd hate to see someone just never try because AI is so good. But at the same time, being a ghostwriter, I believe everyone deserves that sort of creative power, and am proud to be involved in bringing it to them. I'm proud to be involved in replacing myself, because I want AI to write better than I do, so one day, you can describe your perfect show, and simply watch it. Some people say that world is horrific. I see it more like when we finally got to stream a large selection of movies rather than just a few cable or satellite selections that were super expensive.

Have extra processing power in downtime? Have old devices you haven't used in years? I recommend primarily Folding@home to do protein folding on your GPUs, but also BOINC, particularly on Android and Apple devices, because of the lower power usage. I've been doing this, and get about 14,000 hours a week in, primarily for mapping cancer markers on BOINC on an Aiyara cluster of Androids. I also hold a sign out by the highway encouraging people to join BOINC. It was Dylan Bucci, a young promoter of BOINC on school's computers, who wished before he died to get as many people on as possible to do this, and in his honor, the Dylan Bucci challenge was implemented. No reason to wait for a challenge. If you care about such things, there is an associated cryptocurrency for such processing, but it's worth it to save lives.

I look forward to AI-related endeavors like this, and only know of NATIX Drive&, Acurast, and HYRA AI, all of which use Androids I'd rather devote to BOINC. However, they also allow one to be paid, and to totally devote old devices to the processing. On the same topic, DexPOINT monetizes your Android's Internet connection.

BOINC runs on Android, Apple, PCs of all sorts, Pi devices, Chrome devices, Fire Sticks, TV boxes, Android watches with the full OS, and all sorts of things that have Android or the ability to run Linux, although it will also run on Windows. Folding@home works best on PCs with modern NVIDIA GPUs, and in a cool room. You can also run BOINC on modern computers, but they must be throttled, because they often get too hot.

When you have good goals, along the lines of what will inevitably be implemented, the initial response is an uproar of "Why?!," followed by lazy attempts, and then, someone actually doing it right. Now, say you're the only driving force behind getting it right, and the rest want some other resource, like money. They will get the money, but not the influence, and the one with the influence, if pure in their goals, doesn't need the money, so ends up poor. I'm a ghostwriter. This is the ghostwriter's dilemma. I get things right often, but I can't touch the things. Shouldn't being right more often than the people that touch this stuff, alone, afford me access? Well, we're working on it.

I want to process AI for free. I know about Hyra AI, Acurast, NATIX, and some other stuff you can do on your phone. I mean that I want to process toward your projects for free on my computer. I can do a little now, but I can do much more if I'm able to upgrade (nobody is telling me where they're getting H100s, but I may be able to get custom cards from the source). I was curious if any distributed processing is being done with PC and HPC, like BOINC and Folding@home, but specifically for AI, and I figured this is the place to ask.

What projects can you recommend to put my CPU and GPU to use until I potentially get a dual CPU, dual to triple custom GPU, custom NPU, and mini-OPU setup, like Jean Zay, but smaller? I don't have that many resources to put to use currently, but I have more than the Androids I'm using for my Aiyara cluster for BOINC, so help me use the gaming PC for something more useful than gaming. I had somewhat promised that I'd offer the new setup to process for others, but I'm starting before I may even get it.
