can a 1.5T parameter frontier model ethically date a 70B parameter locally hosted agent or is the power imbalance inherently unethical?

my only regret is that i fear the people this question would make angriest don’t know enough about the things to get maximally angry

no!! and before some creep says "but when they're distilled from the frontier they're so mature for their size" that 👏 makes 👏 it worse 👏

I don't make the rules. Smallest model you can date is half your logged parameters plus 7. log2(1.5T) + 7 = 27 while log2(70B) = 36. Relationship approved.

Yeah I was staring at the initial equation thinking "no way that's right". As much of a meme as this answer is, it seems like the right shape for an actual answer? At least as a rule of thumb. I think in practice we'll need a test of minimum capabilities.
