I exported 12 years of my own Reddit comments before the API lockdown and I've been meaning to learn how to train an LLM to make comments imitating me. I want it to post on my own Lemmy instance just as a sort of fucked up narcissistic experiment.

If I can't beat the evil overlords I might as well join them.

2 diffrent ways of doing that

  • have a pretrained bot rollplay based off the data. (There are websites like charicter.ai i dont know about self-hosted)

Pros: relitively inexpensive/free in price, you can use it right now, pretrained has a small amount of common sense already builtin.

Cons: platform (if applicable) has a lot of control, 1 aditional layer of indirection (playing a charicter rather than being the charicter)

  • fork an existing model with your data

Pros: much more control

Cons: much more control, expensive GPUs need baught or rented.
