And the problem is that since these dickwads want to close source their neural networks, we wasting billions of watts training on similar data sets repeatedly generating models with minor differences over and over again. If there was a truly awesome open source model, then we could train on top of it and create more complex and complex models targeted at the good of humankind. But no, stakeholders must get profits. When will they understand that the entire humanity is a stakeholder in this planet.

Good news is that open source approach appears to be advancing faster than closed models https://steve-yegge.medium.com/were-gonna-need-a-bigger-moat-478a8df6a0d2

That article is from 10 months ago.
Is open source catching up still? Or have the goalposts moved too much since then?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Open source models are still advancing quickly, pretty much everything the article mentions is still valid today.

If you can't use it for porn and you can't use it to make pictures of powerful people in unflattering situations then what is the use case for AI?

To remove proletariat needs of billionaires and eventually remove those peasants from earth, so that 1% pigs could enjoy a little more lifespan. This is the only purpose of ~~open~~AI behind closed doors.

Lol I always love AI discussions, it invariably involves sides of people not affected by it flinging shit at each other. Very crunchy popcorn, scrumptious, even.
