My one dark hope is AI will be enough of an impetus for somebody to update DMCA

WalnutLum ,

ChatGpt already is multiple smaller models. Most guesses peg chatgpt4 as a 8x220 Billion parameter mixture of experts, or 8 220 billion parameter models squished together

OH GOD PLEASE NO

WalnutLum ,

The OSI just published a resultnof some of the discussions around their upcoming Open Source AI Definition. It seems like a good idea to read it and see some of the issues they're trying to work around...

I seriously doubt the viability of this, but I'm looking forward to being proven wrong.

WalnutLum ,

This is interesting but I'll reserve judgement until I see comparable performance past 8 billion params.

All sub-4 billion parameter models all seem to have the same performance regardless of quantization nowadays, so 3 billion is a little hard to see potential in.

WalnutLum ,

I would recommend instead to use the AI Horde:
https://stablehorde.net/
It's a collection of people hosting stable diffusion/text generation models

There's also openrouter which can connect to ChatGPT with a token-based system. (They check your prompts for hornyposting though)

Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure

WalnutLum ,

Judging by my bank account I'm transitioning to non-profit status as well.

WalnutLum ,

I didn't realize you could run something like this on your phone

WalnutLum ,

Ahhhh that makes a lot more sense, thanks!

Seems like the thing I've always considered true: you can turn a mediocre game into a masterpiece with the right application of music.

Not that I'm saying Stardew is mediocre, but good music seems to uplift a game more than any other part.

WalnutLum ,

This is a good move for international open source projects, with multiple lawsuits in multiple countries around the globe currently ongoing, the intellectual property nature of code made using AI isn't really secure enough to open yourself up to the liability.

I've done the same internally at our company.
You're free to use whatever tool you want but if the tool you use spits out copyrighted code, and the law eventually has decided that model users instead of model trainers are liable for model output, then that's on you buddy.

Doing gods work here

WalnutLum ,

Starship was still Elon's brainchild and it is years behind, and threatens the viability of the entire Artemis program. Their finances are also terribly linked to the success of Starlink, which is also shaky at best.

I would not say SpaceX is "on track."

WalnutLum ,

I thought it was atomic age and information age...

Or was that just empire earth...

WalnutLum ,

The irony here is palpable

WalnutLum ,

I feel like this is going to be where I disconnect in a major way from our childrens' generation.

They're likely going to find it completely normal to have an LLM as a friend and I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself around to that.

Tango closed cause it was the one of the only studios under Zenimax that wasn't currently making a game with "executive producer: Todd Howard" squirted all over it

WalnutLum ,

It's usually not a case of the phone listening but, more creepily, that your behavior before and after talking to your wife about new shoes signaled that you want to buy new shoes.

Ad algorithms are surprisingly perceptive about signals that aren't obvious.

WalnutLum ,

It doesn't have to be your searches, it could have just been the fact that your phone recognized you were on a road trip and that people in your ad cohort tend to want to buy shoes while on road trips.

I've worked in algorithmic ad space before and I can say that I've never seen evidence of phones listening on conversations but I have seen plenty of evidence from years ago where all your other data is used to form a terrifyingly accurate profile.

We used to do dead reckoning and gps speed gait profiling and we would only need about a weeks worth of GPS data to know height, weight, sex, where you live, where you work, where your kids go to school etc.

We would take that data and cross reference that with data broker info to form a profile, put you in an ad cohort bin, and serve you up as a platform for ad matching services to match to ad campaigns, which get even further targeted.

Millions of dollars spent hyper targeting you but 99 times out of 100 the inaccurate campaign is paying more so they get the adspace but the one time the actual low paying hyper focused campaign gets through it's always scary how accurate it is.

tl;dr: Ad companies don't need to listen to your conversation to know what you want to buy, ads are usually inaccurate because the inaccurate campaign paid more

WalnutLum ,

What do you do for file syncing, if you don't mind me asking
