The alternatives aren't that serious or likely. The scientist who expressed it is important, yes, but he is also known for these kinds of stunts. Highly suspected of acting cute in order to stirr controversy and make the general public care.

Today a wandering pup showed up while nobody was looking. He was cute, but I had nothing to feed him, and he kept on his way while I was distracted. Doggos are common in the random encounter tables, so we might meet again someday.

Simple, many of these venture capitalists aren't gambling their own money. They represent funds that directly or indirectly invest future pensions money. The social implications of the collapse of these companies can be catastrofic.

Because before that they didn't have the number 1 RPG?

You can take my pesticide ridden crops from my cold d3ad hands!!! n_n

Which reminds me, @kermit4karate I find you a very compelling person to talk to. I just don't share your vision in the specified topic. Nothing personal. I like you.

Provided this development leads somewhere other than a technological dead end, right now we are at the "Time sharing" stage of personal computing. Still decades away from the right developments that allow for mass adoption and at least one or two bubbles that will decimate the companies pedling...

AI is very, very old, older than personal computers. LLMs and diffusion models are but a proposed branch of the technology. One that has shown some very useful applications, mostly in actual research environments, but that has shown its limits.

It's like the tale of the businessman and the fisherman all over again.

And they had to wait for the dotcom bubble to burst and overall infrastructure to catch on and make them viable.

These practical uses don't require the massive money burning that more "commercial" models do.

They might not be marketing it to you in specific. Given that you seem to be an early adopter. Most generally, there's a heavy push by companies that sell these services - and internally by the companies to justify spending so much on them- so that the average office drone uses theses tools and...

Just be aware, that it is bound to hallucinate in this case unless the paper in question is very very old and widely recirculated and improved upon. The most hallucinations happen with niche and novel content.

Can you run models at home? of course yes, my toaster can potentially run Stable diffusion (and from what I can see some small chat models too). But these LLMs are just plain gigantic for a single home computer. You cannot hope to even run Dalee, Midjourney or Chat GPT locally. Large in this...

In here they seem to be still going strong. Truth is, they are fast and you avoid the awkward moment with the bagger when all they do is move your purchase a few centimeters because they no longer have bags to do any bagging with.

The amount of resources it consumes makes it not worthy for the humanity at large if it is restricted to niche usages.

I don't know, that shotgun approach to coding sounds a bit like against everything they teach about software engineering.

Kind of makes sense. O_O

For example, "Sealed with a Kiss." I like the music, and I think it sounds very nostalgic and sad. Then I see the lyrics and they kind of don't fit. They are a mountain out of a molehill, first world problems. Boo hoo, you're sad because you can't see your girlfriend while on vacation. Instead...

I'm like, "I admire you for your courage and dedication. I hope everything goes well for you." Then in the last ten seconds "ahh, that motto isn't the call for peace you seem to think it is..."
