I was thinking the same thing. There are definitely restrictions on the size/function of guns, and you have to fill out paperwork, get fingerprinted, etc to get past those restrictions.

To buy any gun at a store, you also have to have a background check, which you generally don’t have to do for knives.

I’d recommend trying LM Studio (https://lmstudio.ai/). You can use it to run language models locally. It has a pretty nice UI and it’s fairly easy to use.

I will say, though, that it sounds like you want to feed perhaps a large number of tokens into the model, which will require a model made for a large context length and may require a pretty beefy machine.

This may have changed recently, but I just bought the Quest 3 and wasn’t forced to create a Facebook account. I did have to create a Meta account, though.

I spent so much time using StumbleUpon. It was a great way to discover random stuff
