We also have AI companions for adults, whose "personalities" can simply change on a whim, when their developer up and decides that their product should say XYZ less and say ABC more. The overarching problem here is that we allow products to be tethered-to and remote controlled by their manufacturers. And the problem is getting worse and worse each year. And they're simultaneously trying to make attempts to un-tether or "root" these products difficult and/or illegal.
We need to go back to products that you just buy and don't have to enter into a parasitic relationship with the manufacturer.
- k__ 1y agoFair. At least with LLMs I had the impression there is a fairly strong open source movement, even from some of the big players. Llama and DeepSeek aren't SOTA, but they get better at similar speed as the proprietary models, they are just a few steps behind. There are even initiatives like Gemma, where they optimize the stuff of yesteryear for consumer hardware. If that keeps going, everyone can have the models in the form they like. Maybe not the best ones that are currently on the market, but still.
