It's far better than everyone has nukes than just a few people who are highly interested in ruining your mind and/or finances. Governments, crime syndicates can pay for HHH-less AI.

There you are sneaking in a technology that does equilibriate (nuclear weapons) to simply assert that this is a technology that does the same.

Doesn't point to the same conclusion, does it?


Counterpoint: B corporations.

It's clearly possible for companies to self-impose safeguards: ESG/DEI, Bcorp, choosing to open source, and so on. If investors squeal, find better investors or tell them to put up with it. You can make plenty of profit without making all the profit that can be made.


I don't think the parent comment was saying it can be solved, only that the LLM paradigm is better at dealing with complexity. I agree that they are not great at it yet, but I've seen vast improvements in the past 3 months alone.

GeoIP this nonsense. Legal liability is solved as a "good-faith effort" and those living in jurisdictions where this doesn't apply (or use a VPN) don't need to be stripped of privacy.

Murder is immoral. That much is certain. ICE murders people.

No one's been murdered. And those polls were after the protesters trying to kill police were shot in self-defense.

FWIW, you aren't alone man. Stay strong.

Except the parent comment said you can stream the weights from an SSD. The full weights, uncompressed. It takes a little longer (a lot longer), but the model at least works without lossy pre-processing.


Try doing this as a normies without technical guidance. Technically correct, this time, is not the benchmark.


Anyway Microsoft and any software developer can be compelled to practically do anything, you don't want to be blocked in some jurisdictions (even less the US) and the managers do not want to go to jail to protect a terrorist, especially if nobody is going to know that they helped.

Some even go that far that they push an update that exfiltrates data from a device (and some even do on their own initiative).

And even if you are not legally compelled. Money or influence can go a long way. For example, the fact that HTTPS communications were decipherable by the NSA for almost 20 years, or, whoops, no contract with DoD ("not safe enough"...)

Once the data is in the hands of the intelligence services, from a procedure perspective they can choose what to do next (e.g. to officialize this data collection through physical collection of the device, or do nothing and try to find a more juicy target).

It's not in the interest of anyone to prevent such collection agreement with governments. It's just Prism v2.

So seems normal that Microsoft gives the keys, the same that Cloudflare may give information about you and the others. They don't want to have their lives ruined for you.


OpenAI does KYC. I refuse to deal with that.


I disagree. Music needs to be archived just as much as books and other publications. Yes, there is heat, but lots of people support them.
