Not Great, Peter 👍🏾

Me too. And the waste of education! If you don’t write it yourself you won’t get better and then what are you paying for?

Yes, but the knock on effects of what will certainly be a huge stock market crash will have huge ramifications in all sectors of the economy.

It would be interesting to see the work of such groups neutralize the value of the $12 billion worth of Nvidia chips Xai is supposedly seeking.

yeah also the general rhetoric that goes like "mcdonalds exists and therefore nobody eats any other food"

I think people fixate on the flashy startups with billion dollar valuations and miss out on all the successful small to medium businesses that provide a solid living to a handful of people. Success doesn't have to be what the media tells you it is. You get to define success.

trust me. we want this to happen. it is difficult to do. also bluesky assumes i'm an oai shill constantly

I’m keenly aware.

regretfully i must agree completely

“Open source” doesn’t mean “owned by no one” … but I think you’re right that opening up the model’s training data and weights is a good 1st step. I’m not an expert on libre software licenses as they would apply to an LLM, but having a competitive, public domain AI is in the public interest for sure

I don't understand what you are saying here. Do you think a worker's coop could literally compete with the OpenAIs and Anthropic's on state of the art LLMs?

Coming back to this thread... After deeper research I'm finding lots of people who've built LLM products who are excited about the prospect of individual software developers spending $200 a month on side projects. Sounds to me like some people are dreaming of a world where wealth builds code.

Philanthropy isn’t helping here either. It is demanding people utilize these tools and not funding anything that could compete.

Seems like all those drawbacks are intrinsic to the technology of an LLM no matter whose hands it's in or how noble their intentions.

Love this. I just started thinking about what it'd take to provide an LLM to at least my neighborhood community. Do folks in this thread know good resources to start learning in this direction?

If you despise people for not understanding stuff then you kind of have to be a psychopath. For example, you don’t understand human nature.

There are AI tools that aren’t significantly different in their energy profile than other cloud platforms.

With some open source models we might be able to get close enough to the proprietary tools. Especial cause open source only lags by 9 months or so. Totally doable

not using this as thought termination, more restating the power imbalance problem; current models are so powerful precisely because they are made by people who give no fucks, competing with today's SOTA with any level of care will be quite hard and may take years, while SOTA continues to advance

The technology is too centralized that means its problems are also centralized.

A hammer can build and a hammer can kill. It's the hand that wields it that decides. The machines just do what they're told. If that's a problem, well... that's an "us" problem.

Exactly. They think they're immune to consequences. The villain was always Dr.Frankenstein, not his creation.

Also tax the crap out of data centers. It is ridiculous that so many states and counties provide tax INCENTIVES to build data centers that are going to make everyone’s home electric bills double or triple in the next few years.

Hi, yes, it me

I’m totally fine with investing in things that help people, like healthcare, green energy, scientific research, but cutting those while burning billions investing in a technology that doesn’t inherently produce value is infernally moronic and ill-advised.

Yeah, that’s real.

This is true of approximately everything computers do
