I thought those scrapes of the web like The Pile we're only around like 45TB? It's a good point though. I'm sure logistically it'd also be way harder than the embarrassingly parallel nature of crypto mining.

Saw this a few days ago. Really enjoyed it. I thought he made a good point about dictatorships being positioned fundamentally differently than democracies with respect to the current technology that's out there now. I also found his an

Neat. Will have to have a play with this on the weekend.

Yeah, I second this. I use this frequently and lots of models downloaded that I test out with it. I'm keen to see a more API led approach.

Any evidence or sources for that? I just don't know how that would be knowable to any of us. Yuval Noah Harari gave a great talk the other day on the potential threat to democracy from the current state of the technology - https:&#x2F

That individual in particular was pushing some left-wing talking points. Though the other day Yuval Noah Harari gave a great talk on the potential threat to democracy - https://youtu.be/LWiM-LuRe6w

It's definitely not something I would attempt to productize and profit off of. I'm virtually certain someone will, and I'm sure that capability is being worked on as we speak, since we already know this type of thing occurs a

The other day someone offered up their 200x GPU crypto mining cluster to train uncensored models after the incident on HuggingFace where someone threatened to get the uploader of the uncensored models fired citing safety issues.

I'm so glad that we 100% know for sure that this too is the vast majority of the time.

I think I'm just going to build and open source some really next gen astroturf software that learns continuously as it debates people online in order to get better at changing people's minds. I'll make sure to include documen

Not to mention you can't change it's mind by arguing with it, but it can use that data to train a better model that's more effective at changing yours.

Funnily enough it's not hard to imagine certain groups of people campaigning to give it rights given people essentially want to create human level intelligence that acts as a slave (including sexual slavery), and once it has rights it

I miss LiveLeak. Is there anything that replaced it?

Yes please. Just hope it's not a 5-slot card.

Apparently RTX4090 with FP8 is equivalent to worlds fastest supercomputer from 2007. So, in some sense I have a supercomputer on my desk:)

Amazing in what sense?

We are hopelessly committed to both.

Also, just saw this and had to share the proof. https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/13c6ukt/the_cre... Grab the popcorn. This shit is just getting started.

I'm not as intimately familiar with South Korea as I am with Japan, but they share a lot of parallels, and Japan is set up in such a way that it just grinds people down, monopolizes a lot of their time, and boxes them in. I really don&

Work culture and family life probably have a lot to do with it in addition to cost.

Politics is also the very same reason I suspect the good ending is still possible with a reasonable chance. The Luddites went and physically smashed things to pieces. That's a little harder these days, but you're already starting

What have they been right about is a much shorter list.

People have this model in their head that "it's just a tool", but there's an excellent and pretty rigorous definition of what a tool actually is in the book On Purposeful Systems. The distinction is that a tool can'

It's not really a meme when you read more of history. It becomes much more of a theme than a meme.

I think you're missing the point here? There are plenty of censored / "aligned" models in the open source community. People are expending effort to supply the demand of "give me the raw, unfiltered thing".

It's not obvious. At all. That's like saying "people don't want to die from a novel coronavirus so it's obvious they'll take the vaccine". It feels obvious on a surface level, but it turns out reality is w

You're kind of making my point for me. To solve alignment problem you have to solve two alignment problems and you already have a detailed, nuanced view built over decades of experience as to the feasibility of aligning natural general

>IMO if anything I am coming to the opposite conclusion. Yud and his entire project failed to predict literally anything about how LLMs work. Or you could take that as evidence (and there's a lot more like it) that AGI is a phenomen
