Truth. I don’t support US tech either but their LLMs are state of the art and VERY useful… No point lying about it. I’m supporting Mistral.ai instead now. Their model is good enough for my use cases, and I’m hoping their recent reported uptick in users like myself helps fund the research and hardware to make them even more competitive.
What happened to it!? It’s a new technology in the early stages of adoption. A little patience…
This is really interesting, appreciate your taking the time to share, thanks 👍 Now I have a fresh experiment for all those ESP32’s in my drawers 😁
Wonder how much solar power it would take to run one of these nodes, it’s be fun to guerrilla a few across town to create a bit of uh…civic infrastructure.
I’m playing my part… Undoing a large part of a SaaS platform I’ve been building, to detangle it from AWS and reimplement for Scaleway/UpCloud. This is a significant practical setback for me, but I can no longer live with myself giving dollars to both Bezos AND a fascist regime every month. Not to mention the direct risk of the US fucking with my business down the track for any old batshit reason. Account closed.
As AI and other forms of automation become more prevalent in our lives it has become urgent to teach kids about different forms of programming/AI/ML and their characteristics. The current situation is a shit show: too many people think ‘ChatGPT’ is merely plugged into everything and it’s just not like that.
What do you mean by ‘only’!?
You lost me at “misnomered as AI”. Artificial intelligence as a branch of Computer Science is a broad field covering not only LLMs - themselves a sub-branch of Deep Learning - but also Fuzzy Logic, Bayesian Reasoning and other statistical methods.
By any canonical definition; LLMs very much are AI.
Perhaps you meant ‘AGI’ as in Artificial General Intelligence which means ‘human level across every domain’. Or, perhaps you know this and we’re just being snarky about their current capabilities.
