what was supposed to be the important part, "AI bad"? the author is not some clueless pedestrian, they are clearly online enough to be fully aware that all social media companies treat their users like cattle. so why the pikachu face when Instagram (of all things!) does something it is designed to do - squeezing every last bit of value from its digital serfs?

  if Llama counts, then it tasted great (while it lasted).

    Llama was not great, it was barely good, it wasn't very smart nor creative and had it's guardrails cranked up to 11. Local models didn't get interesting until Mistral and China entered the game. Meta still hasn't released it's image models which has been trained on 10s of thousands of my photos.

      yeah, well, it was all we had, hence llama.cpp, ollama, r/localllama, etc, all of which look increasingly silly now that it's highly unlikely we'll ever have another Llama.

        Yea I’ll give meta a bit of credit for that but I remember llama’s first release was a leak and i remember frantically downloading them just incase they would get permanently taken down but to everyone’s surprise meta decided to roll with it and embrace the open source community. Unfortunately they face planted with llama4 which was weird since they were supposed to have so much “talent” working on it. The new SAM (segment anything) and SAM3D are actually impressive and good on them for releasing it to the public. They still need to release an image model. I honestly believe the weird pursuit for “safety” is what sabotaged them, it seems to lobotomy models. It’s also the reason Stable Diffusion went from the hot thing to a joke. Stable diffusion 3 was so safe you couldn’t generate a woman laying down on some grass because that’s apparently dangerous for reasons unknown. All models have had their “safety” and guardrails removed by the community and the world didn’t end.
