Wouldn't all the money go to the unsafe AI, since it does more?

That's kind of by design, and it's why the standardized ANSI forth sucks. It will often be simpler to rebuild the language on your system the way that works for you, than to hammer a generic forth into what you need.

I agree that the core models are only going to see slow progression from here on out, until something revolutionary happens... which might be a year from now, or maybe twenty years. Who knows. But we are going to see a huge explosion in ho

There's some other reasons to run local LLMs. If it's on my PC, I can preload the context with, say, information about all the members of my family. Their birthdays, hobbies, favorite things. I can load in my schedule, business

Right. The hardest things you encounter in your life will not adapt themselves to make you more comfortable, so it's critical that you gain experience in doing things outside of your comfort zone. Getting stressed during an exam is n

1) Make an unfounded assumption. 2) Use that unfounded assumption to validate your pre-existing biases. 3) Grow ever more certain, despite no actual evidence.

Plus, being stingy even if you have money benefits those who don't have money. It's why I buy the $0.50 macaroni and cheese instead of the $1.69 version. I don't really care; either would be fine. But I don't want com

So it's roughly in the closest 200-year period out of 28,000 years. That means it spends 99.3% of it's orbit further away than now, and thus harder to find. Simplistic odds would seem to imply that there's over a hundred mor

See, if I was creating a product I would absolutely agree with you. I'd want an AI with tight guardrails, so innocuous that it would never deviate the slightest bit from a bland, center-left, vaguely corporate style of communication.

I used it once to build a simple web scraper and image downloader, and it worked really great for that. It was right in the wheelhouse for the language. (That was REBOL, not RED, and many years ago.) Honestly I'd just do it in Pytho

Maybe they bought a Crunchyroll subscription. It's how a lot of people get trained on anime.

Same with modern washing machines. You have to resort to hacks or tricks on many models to get it to use more water, or run extra rinse cycles.

That's right. Every so often... like once a year... I'll smoke a cigar, and it feels like I'm breathing a good cup of black coffee.

If they were a database, they would be unquestionably legal, because they're only storing a tiny fraction of one percent of the data from any document, and even that data is not any particular replica of any part of the document, but h
