I can, and I would say it's a likely scenario, say 30%. If they don't have a significant edge over their competitors in the capabilities of their models, what's left? A money losing web app, and some API services that I'

I guess this students don't pass, do they? I don't think that's a particularly hard concern. It will take a bit more, but will learn the lesson (or drop out). I'm more worried about those who will learn to solve the prob

It's an interesting question! In my opinion, if you don't use tools it's very unlikely it can do any harm. I doubt the model files can be engineered to overflow llama.cpp or ollama, or cause any other damage, directly. But if

Fast on cpu it's just not realistic. Open source, fast and good: openrouter with opensource models (Qwen, Llama,etc...) It's not local but these is no vendor lockin, you can switch to another provider or invest in a gpu.

They could charge for tuning/support, just like every other Open Source company. Most business will want their models trained in their own, internal data, instead of risking uploading their Intellectual Property into SaaS solutions. Th

As I said, I'm probably in the wrong, but my plan is: - Try to reach Google's One support instead of the generic Google Gsupport. Since they are paying customers, may be there are humans involved at some point. - If that fails, th

One of the reasons I pay for Google One storage is that in case something like that happens to me I will be able to do something legally, since I'm a customer and I'm not getting my service, right? (And my identity is tied to my

Fair enough, but you are comparing a sure event (if you decide to get the vaccine) and a contingent one (getting covid). It's impossible to declare any of both as a clear winner. Furthermore the risk difference is negligible when comp

I'm playing the devil's advocate and I'm not very comfortable with it, but I think it' valuable to the discussion to do so. You are oversimplying and again conflating both groups. You assume people made their mind first

Dicom files are usually in a structure that includes a viewer (there is a IHE profile which standardizes it). Barring radiologists physicians rarely know about file formats, and the portable media "just works" (mostly).

Only the images are generated by AI. The prompts seem to be written by humans. Impressive still. I was flabbergasted for a moment thinking everything was AI generated. Even a bit scared, honestly.
