Looks like you know exactly where that pot of gold is now

Dang, that photo is really similar

First of all, they are not FOSS. I know it seems tangential to the discussion, but it’s important because biases cannot be reliably detected without the starting data. You should also not trust humans to see bias because humans themselves are quite biased and will generally assume that the LLM is behaving correctly if it aligns with their biases, which can be shifted in various ways over time, too.

Second, local LLMs don’t have the benefit of free software where we can modify them freely or make forks if there are problems. Sure, there’s fine tuning, but you don’t get full control that way, and you need access to your own tuning data set. We would really just have the option to switch products, which doesn’t put us much further ahead than using the closed off products available online.

I’m all for adding them to the arsenal of tools, but they are deceptively difficult to use correctly, which makes it so hard for me to be excited about them. I hardly see anyone using these tools for the purposes they are actually good for, and the things they are good for are also deceptively limited.

Finding search terms is the one task I consistently use LLMs for. They did not say that though, they said replacing traditional search with LLMs, that traditional search is about to “go the way of the dinosaur”. I dont trust any local LLM to accurately recall anything it read.

Not to mention that once we gain dependence on LLMs, which is something big tech is trying really hard to achieve right now, it will not be all that difficult for the creators to introduce biases that give us many of the same problems as search engines. Product placement, political censorship, etc. There would not be billions of dollars in investment if they thought they weren’t going to get anything out of it.

It’s not going to change everything. Why would you ever use an LLM for anything information related ever? I can make up wrong answers just as fast as it can.

I really hope that this is a joke and I’m making a fool of myself.

How are orangutans? Are they chill? Still dangerous wild animals? Do they have an obvious personality? I’ve only seen them at the zoo and they don’t pay too much attention to people there.

They said it couldn’t be done…

This is literally the company that tried to implement WEI

I think the public is staggeringly bad at advocating for their own interests.

Hold on, am I missing something? I don’t see anyone in here talking about that time proton openly endorsed the Republican party. Did we forget about or forgive them for that? Is it just irrelevant right now? They backtracked later but like https://archive.ph/2yWGz

When organizations make a move like that, they usually don’t stop pushing in that direction, even if they backtrack in response to pushback. While I’m sure they’re still better than google, I have a hard time trusting them after that. It feels relevant to talk about because like you said, using proton is adding another trust point.

Hold on, bringing this into my discord server

I don’t know about you but I don’t choose not to. other people choose for me, and trying to do anything about it would either get me locked up and tortured or shot.

That person sent a clip of Elon musk doing the nazi salute with their comment. You responded with “please don’t let this be ai”

I don’t think you watched the clip.

As an American, no it’s not nice. Why would I want more of this shit elsewhere?

Ah, very nice effect.

I’ve seen lighting similar to this outside before.

Is that how the lighting actually looked?

It seems that this is explicitly pushing prusa out of the open source model. Bambu is free to steal their innovations then add their own behind locked doors. The existence of companies like Bambu weighs us all down.
