That's why I'm not involved in the LLMs nowadays. I'm waiting for the whole thing to cool down, and when they have a real local and useful solution for sensitive or regulated industries, I may use it but I'm not in a hurry and I don't believe the FOMO around it.
Its like Google Search. They sold a lot of books for a technology that you could learn in 5 minutes.
The fact that I am not disgusted by those new glasses is worrying me more. Privacy is really dead outside my house and there is nothing I can do about it.
At least it replaced every Google and Apple devices I own with Linux and custom OSes that I fully control, it gives some peace of mind as long as you remember to spend a few minutes to backup your stuff every week.
- dvfjsdhgfv 1y agoI understand why you are not in a hurry but I'd like to offer a counter-argument. I have a machine powerful enough to experiment with local LLMs and interestingly enough at least some models are on a par with what OpenAI used to charge for (GPT4). It means I can experiment and see what these models are capable of, whether it makes sense to use them to solve my problem, and if not - why, and if anything can be done about it on my part. And because the API is the same, it's relatively easy. It's not necessary to be at the bleeding edge, two steps away is also fine, but today LLMs are just another tool in your toolbelt and I reached the conclusion it makes no sense to ignore them, in spite of how irritating the hype (or, sometimes, plain lies) can be.
