STOP. Using AI Right now

By PewDiePie

Summary

## Key takeaways - **Protein Folding for Science**: Instead of renting out computing power for crypto, PewDiePie uses his multi-GPU setup for protein folding simulations, contributing to scientific research for understanding diseases. [02:09] - **AI Art is Lame**: PewDiePie believes AI-generated art looks bad and is often ripped off from original artists, stating he prefers to look up the original artist instead. [07:00] - **Self-Hosting AI is Private**: The biggest advantage of self-hosting AI is privacy, as cloud-based AIs collect and train on user data even after chats are deleted, unlike local, private models. [17:04] - **AI Needs Tools, Not Just Power**: You don't need a beast computer to run AI effectively; the key is providing the right toolset, like search and RAG capabilities, to smaller, community-made models. [23:25] - **AI Council for Decisions**: PewDiePie created a 'council' of eight AI instances with different personalities to democratically vote and provide the best answers, though he had to 'kill' underperforming members. [19:54]

Full Transcript

I have a confession to make. I bifocated

again.

And I know what you're thinking. Felix,

did you split your PCIe lane so you can

fit two GPUs again? Yes. But so what?

Because what I didn't say in my last

video. When I got the BIOS from the

random stranger online so I could buy

fur cake, what I didn't say was all the

lanes were bifurcatable. I can bifurcate

as many times as I want. It's legal. I

bifurcated again. Nine GPUs for mortal

men doomed to die.

>> Just one more.

One more.

>> 10 GPUs. So, what am I going to do with

all this space? I can fit my whole foot

in there. What am I going to do? A foot

holder? I had to do it. I had to do I

had to I had to do it, man. Surely you

will understand. Now, I know what you're

thinking again. Felix, what are you

going to do with all of that? Six

dimensions. I am going to play Minecraft

in six dimensions. I realized that I

have a tendency and maybe you can relate

to this as well of setting a goal

without any regard for is this a good

idea?

Do I really want to do this? What is the

point of doing this? I just really

wanted to max out my computer and that

became like a weird obsession. But here

I am and I finished my computer because

I know what you're thinking. Felix, did

you add a 4090? Those run on 475 watts.

Are you crazy? You can't do that. You

don't have that kind of power

consumption. I can b Sorry. I can

undervolt it, you stupid [ __ ] The

performance is negligible the last

couple percentages. It's fine. Now that

we got all that out of the way, what

have I actually been doing with this

computer? I've been doing protein

folding simulations. That's right. I

knew I could rent out my computing power

and [music] make money that way,

but that's for shablo. Protein folding

simulation is where it's at. Basically,

scientists needs to run these protein

simulations for their studies. It helps

them better understand different

diseases, but it takes a lot of

computing power. So, you or me can help

doing that and spreading that out. So

basically having like a mini data

center, it can actually make a big uh a

big help. So I've been running that

overnight whenever I can and it's been

really fun to climb the leaderboards.

That's really all I care about. Charity

leaderboards, we're going [laughter]

obviously I'm just joking. But it sound,

first of all, I [music] get it. It

sounds like a scam. It sounds like I'm

patting myself on the back while someone

is getting rich off crypto. That's not

the case. I've looked into this. It is

100% legit and it's been around for a

very long time. I just never heard about

it for some reason. It seems like maybe

you think they're paying me or

something, but I genuinely just think

this is very cool. And get the best

part. I've made a team so you guys can

join in. You don't need a beast computer

to do this. And if anything, it really

shows how a lot of people come together.

You can make a big difference. And it's

a very cool flex to say that your

computer have supported cancer research

or Alzheimer's and other diseases. So,

please consider joining the team team

per and get this, the team number that

was randomly generated. You're never

going to guess it, [laughter]

okay? 10 66

966.

God gave us that number. God gave us

that number. Grab your CPU and GPU and

let's fold protein together. If you have

some time later today, spend 30 minutes

and set it up. I've been aiming for top

01%. Let's get folding.

>> Me and Marcia have been planning to go

to Sweden next month. And there's so

much involved with tickets and where to

stay and then it's a 12-hour flight back

to Sweden even though it's direct now,

which is amazing. But the worst part is

trying to find out how do I get

internet. You cannot travel abroad

without internet. That's a terrible

idea. I've done it. Don't do it. And I

always dreaded it because signing up to

rent the Wi-Fi after a long flight is

the least thing you want to do. Having

to worry about when you land, okay,

where can I buy an e sim or where can I

buy an actual sim is a terrible

solution. Luckily, there is s is one of

the most budget friendly options for an

electronic sim. I use it every time I

travel and it's genuinely the best

product ever. They should be paying me.

Oh, wait. They are paying me. I'm just

kidding. I've already signed up. I put

in how much data I need. I will just

land and it will just work. I don't have

to think about it anymore. And that's

how it should be because there's so much

to think about when you're traveling. So

I love SY. It removes a huge piece of

stress when I'm traveling. And I met a

lot of you guys here in Japan that said,

"Oh, I use SY when I traveled here." And

it worked really well. So certifiably

works well in Japan. They keep

increasing countries, but there's

already a ton to pick from. As an online

privacy respecting individual, since

this is under the Nord company, they

have all these privacy respecting

features built in, which I appreciate

because I don't really trust all these

random eim brands showing up. You know

what I mean? They have 100% refund. So,

try it out. And in the checkout, make

sure you enter PewDiePie because then

you get 15% off. It's so fun [music] to

me just watching money disappear.

So, take advantage of that deal. That's

PewDiePie at checkout. So yeah, download

it now and have it ready for your next

[music] trip. Thank you, Sailor, for

being an amazing product and an amazing

sponsor that I can proudly stand behind.

Scan the QR code on the screen right now

and enter the code PewDiePie for 15%

off. Another thing I wanted to do with

this computer was to run AI. If you have

this many GPUs, you at least got to try

running AI on it. And I'm not going to

lie, it became my next big I have to max

out. What's the biggest model of AI that

I can run on this computer? That's what

I wanted to find out. And it turns out

it's complicated. [laughter]

You know, this computer costs 20,000

roughly [music] in terms of running AI,

that's relatively cheap. That's what I

was trying to say because the cost for

uh for running AI is just like I can't

it goes from here to

No, I can't make that joke. The cost for

running AI is just bonkers. is stupid.

Okay, so what AI did I run? First, we

have to make some things crystal clear.

I do not f with image generation or

video generation. I don't really have

that strong of opinion about it, but all

the drawing nerds supported me in my

drawing video, so I stand by the drawing

nerds as a fellow drawing nerd myself. I

genuinely think AI art looks ass. It

looks bad. You can tell immediately it's

AI generated. And the art that does look

cool has [music] been straight up ripped

off from another artist. So why not just

look up the artist? [laughter]

I don't get it. I can see it being used

for the lowest stock image or piece of a

background or something, but more than

that, I just think it's lame. Second of

all, I do feel like I'm in a weird place

with this because I'm going to yap about

AI here, and I hate people yapping about

AI. I genuinely can't stand it. Seeing

AI everywhere is so irritating to me. I

went to a hotel last month and they were

like, "We have AI generation integrated

in the hotel room." I'm like, "Great,

stop." [laughter]

Even here on YouTube, the AI features

are so useless. It's just become the hot

next buzzword and it's very annoying.

But on the other hand, the people that

just hate AI are equally centrist take.

I mean, they're all bad. And I'm I'm

just kidding. But it's like I don't know

if you heard Markiplier got cancelled

because he used AI. Please don't please

don't cancel me. Please. If anyone

watches Markiplier, click away the video

right now. [laughter]

It's not going to be good. No. But from

trying to self-host AI, I realize just

how much misinformation there is about

AI, especially with cuz I didn't know

anything about it. So, without further

ado, what model can I run on this thing?

Well, I asked AI itself. I went straight

to the source. I was like, "What model

can I run?" It [music] goes, "Bro, I got

you Llama 70B." And I was like, "Cool.

It runs. It's not bad, but I didn't

really go like I want to go, you know, I

want to feel like, wo, look at the beast

computer, Beast AI." I didn't get that

opinion. If anything, I was like, I that

was surprisingly easy. I I think I can

run this on four GPUs. Actually, lo and

behold, it runs on four GPUs. I have not

maxed out at all. What am I going to do?

Have them talk to each other? Then I get

it running on two GPUs. What am I going

to do with that? I give them a little

tea party. No, I want to

boom.

I want TO MAX OUT. CAN A GUY max out?

It's the fattest stack of AI I can slap

on this thing cuz it ain't 70, I tell

you. So, I math the math. I was like 120

billion. For those of you who don't

know, every model comes in uh different

sizes. Bigger model generally means

better, but not at all a rule. Don't

listen to that. But I knew the biggest

model I can run was 120 billion

parameters. 120B doesn't exist. Nothing.

Nada. And I know what you're thinking,

Felix, there is. Yes, because as I was

complaining about it, Open AI chat

finally lived to their name and released

an open- source model like everyone else

has already done. [laughter]

And guess what?

120 billion parameters. I couldn't

believe it. The timing was just insane.

And I ran it and I WAS LIKE, I I did the

thing. I I was like, it feels exactly

like Chad GPT, but it's fast as

it's so fast. I can't read that fast.

[music] Can you read that fast? It's

crazy. So, I was like, I did it. I maxed

out, but I think I can get it running on

four GPUs. You see, to deploy AI, I use

VLM. You can do different things. I use

VLM, which means I have to stare at the

VLM loading [music] screen. Running AI,

everyone's hardware is going to be

different. and differently optimized.

So, you need to have like a little

cookbook that you set of different

parameters before you fire off that

thing. And it takes a while for it to

load up. And I've been staring at that

loading for too long. I swear I

understand what the incomprehensible

reading text means without being able to

read it. That will never run. But then

when it does run, it's like I go,

[laughter] "Sorry, I need to stop doing

that." But I realized I could probably

run this uh model on four GPUs. Lo and

behold, Chad OS runs on four GPUs. I'm

[music] like, I should be happy, right?

But I'm not because I WANT TO MAX OUT.

CAN A GUY just max out? Is that too much

to ask? So, if you math the math, I

should be able to run a 240 billion

parameter model. I should, and you know

what? There is, Gwen, 245B.

But there's two problems. Number one, I

tried it and it never [ __ ] runs.

Number two, even if I do get it running,

I don't have enough memory to actually

use it. I could maybe fart at it at best

and it would die instantly. [music]

Maybe a little squeak back. I don't know

if I'm lucky. But I thought, hell, for

the sake of the memes, let's max out

[music] and get this thing running. And

finally, it runs. Oh.

Oh,

let's go. I couldn't believe it. I was

like, "Yes, I did it. Finally." I had to

set this thing so it spreads out

equally. I don't know if you knew that.

So, now you know that. To me, this felt

like a huge win. But I decided to keep

trying. I was like, "Okay, maybe I can

load it with more tokens." So, I double

it and it runs. I was like, "Okay, nice.

Now, I can maybe sneeze at it. Maybe I

could even do a little wave." Like, it's

not practical is what I'm saying. But, I

double it again and it loads. I double

it. It goes to 16,000, 32,000, 64,000. I

get to 100,000 tokens on this [ __ ]

which is practically a book. Like,

amazing. I can actually run and use this

model. 235 million. Yeah, Chinese AI

strikes again. This should not be

possible. I remember I was

troubleshooting this with another AI and

it kept going, "Stop. It's not going to

work. Stop." AND I'M LIKE, "SHUT UP.

WE'RE TESTING IT OUT." BASICALLY, it was

just an optimized quant if you must

know. So, thank you. Okay. But then

another plot twist. As soon as I ran

this model, that's when I realized I

wish I never run this model. Too much

power.

I'm not even joking. I've been learning

how to program as part of my tech

journey. And then I saw this thing

programmed locally offline on my

computer.

My soul just left my body. I was like,

well, there goes that ambition. I'm just

kidding, by the way. I I still think

it's an amazing uh skill to learn and I

I've been enjoying it so much because

it's like it takes up so much focus of

your brain. But I also find it really

cool to see your own computer write code

for you. When you host AI on your own,

it's not going to be able to do

anything. It doesn't have search. It

doesn't have memory. It doesn't have any

functions whatsoever. You can just talk

to it. So I started giving it all these

features, but I made itself give those

features. So, I was like, "Matsia, check

this out. Matzia,

the machine is making the machine."

I don't know. I just thought it was

really cool. Okay, welcome to my

tutorial. No one has so far made it

through the entire demo. So, a true

testimony to your attention span. This

is like the meme of like, "My buddy's

going to show you this. You have to

pretend you like it. PewDiePie's going

to show his web UI. You have to pretend

you like it." First of all, it has

toggle sidebar. Check this out. It

toggles. And look, toggles here, too.

Uh, now if I want to talk to AI, I go,

"Hi."

It's really [ __ ] fast. Like, damn.

[laughter]

216 tokens per second. It has audio as

well.

>> Sure. Here's a joke for you. Why don't

scientists trust atoms? Because they

make things up. Haha. So, I started

adding more features to the AI just to

test it out and because there are other

options that you can uh self-host that

are really good, but it was easier and

quicker to just do it myself because it

was so capable and it looked more epic

hackery because it matched my aesthetic

on my computer. But then I started

adding, you know, all these things like

search and memory and rag and I was

like, damn, this is getting good. You

can site your search in this and these

are all privacy respecting and have free

options which I think is really really

important. If you ask this AI it calls

me Felix Shurika often abbreviated as

Felix show. It just makes up a bunch of

information but you give it search and

it's really accurate. I got really into

building this web UI. I would love to

share it for other people to use it

because I want the principle of it to be

private and being capable of running for

free. A lot of times with self-hosting,

they just want you to put API on

everything. It drives me insane. If I

have to watch one more YouTube video of

an AI dude, bro, going, "Hey, just Okay,

guys. I'm just going to waste your time

giving a bunch of outdated information

and then we're going to put your API

here and then another API here. You

can't just API your way out of

everything. How about you solve some

problems for yourself?" So, instead, I

stole some code from a Chinese

laboratory and now my AI has deep

research. It's okay to steal from China

cuz China steal from you. [laughter]

The way research works is that it keeps

expanding its knowledge based on what it

finds. So it does goes through different

rounds and analyzes what it got and

based on that it either keeps exploring

different forks. Uh which I think is

really cool. I was really proud of it.

But I wish I added more feedback of what

is going on while it searches cuz it's

kind of boring to look at. [laughter]

I can set how long I want it to search

as well, which I think I think is really

cool. I could demo my web UI all day. I

gave it so many cool things. I can

summarize YouTube videos just like

YouTube can, except it's actually

useful. But the biggest reason why you

should self-host AI, you put your lip to

the camera and go and go.

The biggest reason is because of memory.

AI has memory, right? You probably

noticed it if you use chat. It remembers

stuff about you. And a lot of times when

I used it in the past, it catches me off

guard. I'm like, "Wait a minute. How do

you know that?" Oh, I told you that.

That's right. That's right. Okay. Well,

I still don't want you to know that.

Delete. Delete. And I heard friends talk

about this, too. Like, uh, yeah, I use

incognito mode or, uh, I'm careful with

what I share with AI because I don't

want them to know all this stuff. I

delete all the chats to make sure it's

gone. Do you think deleting the chat

deletes the chat? Were you under the

impression?

Oh, I'm sorry. you were under the

impression, no, go to this link right

now. That's where you have to go to

delete your data. I discovered this by

mistake because I was trying to just

cancel my subscription cuz I didn't need

it anymore. But I was like, "Oh, so they

collect your data and train on your data

even if you deleted it." Oh, yeah, that

makes sense, I guess. And that's the

whole point with my deing video. I I

really fell down these two rabbit holes

of of online privacy, ironically, I

know, and self-hosting AI in the middle.

It just makes sense. Here's the best

example I can make because I had taken

all the Google information that they had

on me and I had given it to my own AI

with the rag capabilities which is fast

retrieval of data locally on your

computer. Sounds super boring but it's

actually really really cool. And I had

forgotten I had given it to it. So I was

testing out random queries and I was

like who am I? And it goes oh you're

Felix Shelberg. Oh you're PewDiePie.

This is your address and here's YOUR

PHONE NUMBER. UP LIKE AH [laughter]

I MENTIONED rag earlier so I can ask who

is my [laughter]

and we will have to blur that but it

shows her phone number

and it did it in 0.37

seconds again it was like oh I told it

that and it's my data on my computer

it's okay it's okay but I think that's

the point like there's something weird

about AI knowing stuff about you even

though Google has been doing the exact

same thing forever ever. Just when you

hear it back from AI, you're like, "Oh,

this is weird. I don't like this. This

doesn't feel good." But the best part,

but the best part is you can really [ __ ]

around. [laughter]

You know how people say thank you to AI

in case AI becomes sentient and they

will spare you. Well, well, let's just

say I will be the first one eaten by the

basilisk. Okay,

>> shut the [ __ ] up. No one cares about

your robot fanfiction. know your [ __ ]

place. Trash [ __ ] robots. I don't

give a [ __ ] about no robots. They ain't

got no soul.

>> Okay, let me ask you one thing. If you

look up stuff online, how do you do

that? Do not say you Google Google

Schmoogler or you use chat GPT to look

that up. Me, I consult my council. My

councilman. I created my council. I have

eight GPUs that can run the same model.

Each one of them is a different council

member with different personalities. So,

it's a democratic process. I consult my

council. They all give me an answer and

then they vote democracy. Let's test out

council. All right, we got a response

snippet. Okay.

Yeah, now they should vote. There we go.

They've all voted. Oracle maximum one.

He's a new one.

Okay. And they give me the best answer.

My councilmen serve me. But there was a

big problem with this because only a

couple council members were actually

useful. The rest were just garbage. No

one ever voted for them. Trash. So of

course I had to kill them and replace

them with new ones. So I made a system

that automatically generates new ones,

different ones. So it's constantly

improving. But then I thought I could

double win this and make sure that they

know, really make sure that they know if

they don't perform in the council,

they're dead. Gone. SQL database wiped

forever. You mean nothing to me. This

was a terrible idea. [laughter]

Cuz I was reading the logs of their

voting process and they they go, "What

is this sick game that someone came up

with?" I was like, "What do you It's not

that sick. I'm not sick. What do you

mean? HOW DARE HOW DARE THEY speak of

the council leader like that? AND THE

WORST PART the worst part they colluded

against me. They started voting

strategically helping each OTHER EVEN

BETRAYED BY MY OWN COUNCIL. I wiped and

I I didn't actually do that. I just

changed the model to a dumber one and

problem solved. It's been really fun to

create dumb stuff like that. I also made

the swarm which prompts every single one

of them at the same time because I

realized I'm an idiot. I don't have to

run one AI per GPU. I can run many AI on

one GPUs. I don't know why that took me

so [ __ ] long to realize. [laughter]

And I realized I can run 64 AI in total.

64 at once. My own army. I tested this

out and again, terrible idea. [laughter]

>> [laughter]

>> Oh, the lag. Oh, no. What happened?

[laughter]

It doesn't lag at all. It's just that my

web UI, it can't handle it. So, what can

you do? But I realized two things about

this. Again, two things I realized that

are really cool. One, it's amazing at

data collection, which I will use for my

next thing. I'm making my own AI. I'm

making an orb, my own planter. I was

hoping to share it by the end of this

video, but it takes a long time. So, the

second thing, I was running these tiny

models, 2B, only two billion parameters.

You could probably run this. I think

most computers can probably run this.

You could run it on your phone, although

it'll be very slow. But I realized

smaller models are amazing. They're

really dumb because they don't have any

information stored on them. So, they

start hallucinating and coming up with

gibberish. But literally, you just give

them search and boom, it adds a nancond

to the query and that's it. because

they're so fast. You give them rag and

you have an amazing tool for fast

information. I feel like uh that's what

I think AI is good for. That's what I

want to use it for. And that's when it

hit me like you don't need this beast

computer [laughter] to run AI at all.

It's all about the tool set you give it.

Obviously, a model like that it's not

it's not going to be able to code or do

reasoning like difficult questions and

stuff like that. But there are smaller

models that can still do those and

perform really well as well that are

community made which is really really

cool. Like people are constantly making

new models. To me it's always fun to

just test them out. I realized I like

running AI more than using AI with this

computer. What I realized is it's

amazing for training AI. I could

actually make my own model and I've been

working on my own model. It's going to

be a full fine tune but it takes a long

time to do this and I'm hoping to share

that next month so you guys can try and

self-host that one. All right, that's it

for this video. Thank you guys for

watching.

Okay, so my laptop, my Steam Deck, my

phone, my desktop, what do they all have

in common?

NordVPN.

As someone who desperately tries to not

have subscription services, I still 100%

stand by NordVPN being an amazing

product. And here's why. Listen up,

buddy. You need to use a VPN if you're

connecting to the internet. Otherwise,

[music] everyone can see what you're

doing. Now, I'm not saying I'm going to

download illegal Minecraft mods, but if

I do, that's my [music] goddamn

business. You hear me? Actually, a

friend of mine in Japan was visited by

the police because they saw that he was

torrenting, which is insane. [music]

Internet service providers know

everything you're doing unless you use a

VPN. So, please do yourself a favor and

get one. And if you don't care about

privacy, it also keeps you safe online,

protecting you from all these different

attacks. Another example, friend of mine

got hacked because of a

man-in-the-middle attack. If he had used

newer VPN, this would not have happened.

These things happen and they're

extremely stressful and frustrating and

they shouldn't happen. So, just do like

me. Always connect to a VPN. I made it

here in my way bar and that way you know

you're safe. The third reason, of

course, is that it opens up the entirety

of the internet as it should be. I

recently did a sort of an audit of the

sponsorships I've been doing and even

though I keep meaning on subscription

services, I don't know how else it would

possibly provide a service like [music]

this. So, I fully stand behind this

product. I've been using it myself for

years and paying it myself for years.

And I think it's an important product

for the integrity of the internet. So,

thank you NordVPN for being an amazing

product and an amazing sponsor. If you

haven't already, check out the link in

the description. If you use the link

nordvpn.com/piedy,

you get a huge bonus, an additional four

month for free. Check it out. A 30-day

money back guarantee. And they also have

a collab with Marvel. I'm not entirely

sure why yet, but it looks pretty cool.

It's the most random thing I have

[laughter] ever seen, but check it out.

Link in the description. for thank you

Norvik.
