Gaming, it's really most of what I use my computer for. So I'll have to stay on Linux in the short term, but I am rooting for and supporting redox in the hope of it maturing to the point I can daily drive that instead.

    It's alright man, I understand the animosity toward LLMs and the peoples pushing it. While the tech is interesting, it come with lots of ego from billionaires and mass thief of intellectual property.

    But we're just peoples here in the fediverse and arguing here won't change much anyway. Beside .ml, most peoples I interacted with here are quite friendly :)

    Wishing you the best, being here or on piefed :)

    Cutting edge open LLMs and applications like this is why they hastily signed that sloppy Unites States AI treaty. They will likely turn all their attention from hardware gated age verification to hardware gated LLM verification because suddenly shit became too real. All this talk about "AI is too dangerous, it can run rouge and hack stuff" is warming up to that.

    I'm happy for Dahl and Belder, but man, Deno is such a gem of open source, and now they are getting bought out like so many before them.

    I really dislike the entire privatization by big American corporations...

    Yeah I am sadly aware, but I can't switch from Linux at this point in time so short term I have focused on just minimizing the amount of slop I have to put up with. Gentoo has at least chosen to prohibit LLM contributions at the distro level.

    The models were built upon the data, code, art, and texts stolen from a generation of internet users and artists, and from generations of writers.

    Do you seriously believe that these companies which built themselves on theft would stop stealing once their first model was built?

    If a single adobe programmer (or even employee, depending on how lax their internal security is) used a cloud-hosted LLM at work, you can be assured that whatever code and data that malware could access from their computer ended up being part of the next generation of that company's model, and eventually of any other's.

    Even if they didn't, if any windows 11 computer had access to the code you can be certain it scrapped it and sent it home to be given to openAI and any other “AI” company willing to pay.

    Thieves will steal. No LLM model ever started clean, and they only get filthier and filthier with time.

    If only some technology could could summarize huge quantities of text, or modify code the user doesn't fully understand.

    Bemoaning capitalism is certainly one response to an aggressively libre / gratis clone of infamously greedy software.

    The bubble will pop any day now. God willing, every leading company swiftly goes under. And then, people will continue using this technology, because long-term maintainability is such an absurdly high-level concern that it obviously won't stop anyone from exploiting this witchcraft. This is just a thing computers can do now. It will continue to improve as people fuck with how networks are designed and trained, even if none of them are throwing around three-comma budgets.

    Businesses won't need you to understand and support their processes, because they're not gonna hire you, they'll just make the software themselves. It'll be a fragile mess, much like their databases. And much like their databases, so long as billing works and they keep making spoons or whatever, apparently that's good enough.
