So we’ll all have our own familiar soon?
I can write a perfect chatbot representation of myself in just 3 lines of python, no AI needed
while True: input() print('Screw Mark Zuckerberg')Isn’t the future of work exciting?
Write, just like the Metaverse, Facebook is betting on something no one really asked for. When really we just want the old Facebook back
I’m surprised there’s no fedi version of Facebook but I’m also sure as the fediverse evolves we’ll see the return of personal websites but with activitypub-based social features.
I definitely don’t want the old or any Facebook back.
I would, before there were ads, the share button, the actual feed of just friends, that was fun. They’ll never go back, but it was fun for a few months
Bring back Google+ !
i miss pieces of flair 😭
I hate Meta and never use their products. But I have to give them credit for their support of open-source ML: first pytorch, then llama.
I think unlike Google, there are still many pure engineers that need to contribute to open source to be motivated and are still have some power.
I feel, but I am not sure, that for Google, thing have switched more and faster to the side of Big soulless corps.
Generally speaking my experience is that even in these big soulless corps there are positive and passionate people. But quite often they do not have enough decision power to have a positive impact.
Ditto on the hate, technical, but important distinction here, they support open-weight ML. They do not release training source code or data sets to actually make your own (granted you’d need millions in video cards to do it, but still). Open-source gets thrown around a lot in AI, presumably virtue signalling, but precious few walk the walk.
Never underestimate the value of getting hordes of unpaid workers to refine your product. (See also React, others)
I understand the distinction, but it’s still waaay better than what
OpenIAIClosedAI is doing.Also people are really good at reverse engineering. Open weights models can be fine tuned or adapted. I am trained a Llama 3 Lora not that long ago.
Agreed, and the chance of it backfiring on them is indeed pleasingly high. If the compute moat for initial training gets lower (e.g. trinary/binary models) or distributed training (Hivemind etc) takes off, or both, or something new, all bets are off.
The compute moat for the initial training will never get lower. But as the foundation models get better, the need for from-scratch training will be less frequent.
I can’t wait to have a Destiny 2 ghost IRL
Zuckerberg really took all the robot memes to heart didn’t he?
I’ll call mine Guillermo.
The best proof of advancements in the field of AI is Zuckerberg himself. He looks more and more like a real human every time I see a new picture of him.
They learned that hair makes them look human
They spent a lot of GPU time trying to get it just right.
Crypto currency proof of work was actually entirely for every strand of hair on the Zuck
Please let local, open equivalents be available (see LocalAI for an example of not being far off) before this. The sheer scale of data harvesting this will enable boggles the mind.
