Buy Bitcoin.

look, i'm sorry, but this is a thoroughly solved problem by now.

How does owning some bitcoins let you run a powerful LLM?

I take it you've never known anyone who has tried to run even a small consumer AI company. Do you think that they all independently come up with the same censorship rules, despite no law mandating them? Why do you think that is? That they are just that well-thought out that everyone happens to agree with that same intersecting boundary?

Yeah turns out a lot of people agree that having models that help you do crime is probably a bad thing

For the sake of argument, let's grant that there's some conspiracy that makes them all have the same rules. And conspiracy in a loose sense: perhaps it's the government dictating the rules.

I still don't understand how buying bitcoin lets me route around that.

Even gold coins buried in my garden won't get you access to Fable.

You're making straw man examples, but if you want to understand more, I suggest any paper on Bitcoin.

Personally, I'm not a fan of it. But the thesis is real, and it might have delivered on its promise if the world wasn't actually full of scumbags and scammers (each one accidentally contributing to making Big Banks look like the lesser of the evils).

I've read eg https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

It still doesn't tell me how to run or access LLMs.

please don’t answer in questions. state specifically what you mean so we can discuss what your point is, not guess what it is you’re implying with vague questions.

Listen to yourself. I'll write in my style, you write in yours. In what world is it anything less than obnoxious to say that? Time to hit the logout button for me permanently I say. https://imgur.com/a/L8hoqhp

You can reset your password, if you forget it.
