This is just another layoff in disguise. Make it miserable, so people leave without severance.

Terminator is a fun movie. It’s also completely fictional.

“AI Safety” is a buzzword OpenAI invented to stifle competition.

after years of really crappy GPUs, intel finally started making decent ones. It’s probably too late to save intel though…

America has more prisoners than China.

I don’t mind paying for software and I regularly donate to open source projects. The problem is that most corporate software is closed and I don’t have the freedom to use it as I wish.

Copyright exists to bully ordinary people. It does not apply to megacorps.

Colleges having a meltdown over AI reminds me of colleges having a meltdown over Wikipedia when wikipedia first came out 20 years ago.

Yet another reminder that Google is an unreliable company. Install Fdroid tonavoid Google’s mistakes.

Google built the first real neural language model (Word2Vec) and the first attention/transformer language model (Attention is all you need). Then they stopped innovating.

Erich Schmidt is the reason Google missed out on AI race. He took over one of the most innovative companies in the world, and turned it into a very mediocre place.

The compute moat for the initial training will never get lower. But as the foundation models get better, the need for from-scratch training will be less frequent.

I understand the distinction, but it’s still waaay better than what OpenIAIClosedAI is doing.

Also people are really good at reverse engineering. Open weights models can be fine tuned or adapted. I am trained a Llama 3 Lora not that long ago.

I hate Meta and never use their products. But I have to give them credit for their support of open-source ML: first pytorch, then llama.

I think you can have password auth in Samba.

That being said, the more important thing is to protect your VPN network.

Altman is just upset that Open Source models are getting better.

This guy needs a medal.

You can use Waydroid to run Android apps on Linux.

that is not an argument against AI. We didn’t ban photoshop because people did face swaps.
