This is true, but good LLMs (even local, consumer-sized ones these days) can do this much better than … whatever it is that Google’s AI overviews use. Think about your coding harness: the model reads a bunch of files into the context, and i

I think this misses the point I was trying to make. Both an open source game and an open weights LLM include the necessary assets. But people seem to be saying, “you need everything that was used to create the assets”. For game art, that wo

The antenna firmware is software. Model weights are essentially learned settings, and they are not software. Note also that software is copyrightable and model weights aren’t (in the US anyway).

by anon373839 3mo ago
That’s not really true. The models have source code defining their architecture and it is open-source. People keep trying to shoehorn OSS concepts onto model weights, but the concepts don’t fit because the weights aren’t software. They are

Nothing makes an LLM dangerous. An LLM remixes existing knowledge and outputs text. Any danger comes from what one subsequently does with the text. For example, when a lab like OpenAI negligently wires up a harness to an LLM and executes ar

Computer keyboards are incredibly dangerous. You can even use them to type out the same text a dangerously capable LLM might write!

Do you have a source for that? The NYT article does not quote Xi making that statement, and I can't find a source for that. In fact, Xi delivered veiled criticism of the security posturing the US has done: > We should put in place

by anon373839 3mo ago
Reuters was reporting that rumor. And then Xi made a public appearance at a conference in Shanghai where he said the opposite of that rumor.

I really like OpenCode - BUT: there is a loophole the size of Portugal in that ZDR language. All they say is that their providers follow a ZDR policy. I haven’t found anything promising that OpenCode themselves don’t retain Go usage data.

Qwen has a pinned tweet stating that 3.8 will be released as open weights soon. I guess it remains to be seen, though, if they’ll do the smaller model sizes or only the big 2.4T one.

I know it seems strange that a company would use its own negligence as a publicity gimmick. But take a look at the smug smirk on Sam Altman's face when he's asked if OpenAI might have attacked companies other than HuggingFace. (&q

Oh, huh. I was focused on the scale but you’re right, they are kind of wispy. That reminds me of the anorexic typography trend from ~2013. It’s probably intended to convey sophistication.

The thing with AI is there are multiple axes of division that are in tension, and they don’t map conveniently to standard politics. For example, Anthropic in one sense seems to occupy a caricature of the nanny state worldview, with their co

At least AI polarization seems to cut across the tired old red/blue divide (in the US anyway). So it may produce some interesting coalitions.

Have you tried the new chat template Google released recently? It’s supposed to address this and enable reasoning content preservation. I have not tried it myself but am hoping it does the trick, since Gemma is great model otherwise.

I'm tired of this too, but don't judge your friends too harshly. What I've learned is that many folks are copying slop because they feel insecure in their abilities. They think that the AI will do a better job than they can,
