On the face of it this sounds perfectly legit. If you take drugs responsibly you’ll be happy for a while.

In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it.

Are you sure about that Sam? Because one, you’re the snake oil salesman writing this and I wouldn’t trust you as far as I can throw you, and two, yeah maybe it scales predictably but the prediction is that training the next generation for marginal improvement will cost an exponential 100 billion (and that is taking your Microsoft discount for compute into account). You’re hitting a wall hard and the profits are still not in sight. This avenue of progress is a dead end and Sam knows it, because OpenAI is selling PPU’s instead of stock and looking to Saudi investment. Don’t get stuck with the bag folks, the few thousand days Sam claims to need aren’t survivable.

A calculator stapled to a potato would be better than Windows

Did you take the windshield off? Why? I mean it looks great but it’s there a practical reason?

The fun answer is kill

Lofi girl, I don’t have to think about a playlist, it’s easy listening that soothes the hyperactive monkey that lives right behind my prefrontal cortex.

I don’t know about lots of power. I don’t want to be defeatist, I vote for survival and I do what’s in my power to spare the planet but hope eludes me. I’m starting to make peace with the fact that humanity will be facing the music soon.

We can, we just won’t.

FUCK FRONT BRAKES! LET’S GOOOOO

36 here, I don’t expect to retire

This has been glaringly obvious for 5 decades now. Hope escaped me. I will vote to survive and I will do what I reasonably can, but I don’t think humanity will make it. Which, according to the nihilist in me, is fine really. We never mattered to anyone but ourselves.

I love the lack of a front brake. Let’s fucking go!

I would also like to know how you did that because as far as I’m aware Fairphone is not supported.

As in my profits, our losses?

Not who you replied to but Spantaleev’s Ansible script can be fired at a VPS of your choice and Bob’s your uncle.

I’m not about to call myself the end all be all expert on LLM’s, but I’m a 20 year IT veteran in system administration and I keep up with tech news daily. I am the perfect market for new tech: I have a lot of disposable income, I’m tech obsessed and always looking for optimisations in my job as well as in my personal life. Yet outside of summaries (and even there I wouldn’t trust them) and boilerplate code that I could’ve copypasted from stack overflow I can’t think of a good reason to burn as much energy and money as the purveyors of LLM’s are. The ratio between expense and gains is WAY out of whack for these things and I’ll bet the market will correct itself in the not too distant future (in fact I have, I’m shorting NVDA).

I understand what these plausible next word generators are and how they work in broad strokes. Have you considered that you can’t tell what someone does or doesn’t understand by a comment?

By the way, you’re smarmy enough to tell me I shouldn’t be asking LLM’s for advice, but in the same thread you’re asking how to run a local unrestricted LLM to ask for not-entirely-legal advice? Funny that.

Wrenches are absolutely awesome at applying torque. What are LLM’s absolutely awesome at? I can’t come up with anything except producing convincing slop en masse.

Then they weren’t that useful to begin with.

That button should be on his lectern and it should say TRUMP so he’ll do the honors himself.
