crazy expensive

Citation missing, so unconvincing. We’re not talking about a general purpose LLM here. Are pretrained, domain-specific LLMs or SLMs “crazy expensive” to run?

Would it? Game developers can run anything on their own servers.

Is an API key necessary? Pretty sure there are local LLMs.

Not necessarily. It usually means somewhat selflessly feeling or understanding how they might feel enough to care about their wellbeing & treat them compassionately.

If you’re selective about the recipients of your empathy (eg, only those you care about or near you), then you’re not really an empath or a good one. Buddhists had empathy & compassion figured out. Jesus stated it, too, with love your enemies. I’ve frequently seen people try to wield empathy as a cudgel and miss the point.
