“Guys, this thing we’re going full steam ahead on building is really scary and could destroy the world and humanity along with it! Somebody ought to do something about it!”

He played too much Megaman X

Seems a bit like anti Local LLM propaganda to begin getting the ball rolling on subscription based LLMs being the only LLMs people have access to.

They’ve been doing everything to try to keep the technology from the general public, from helping to condemn any use of it (even that not owned by corporates and dedicated to allowing open access to it, which many people willfully play along to) to passing it off as a threat that needs to be under control (not by governments, just their own PR stunts with certain mouthpieces). This with the price of computers skyrocketing is helping keep away any possibility of this technology being owner by anyone but the major circlejerking multinational pricefixing corporations.

Or maybe it’s just a study.

Will it clear out our student loan and medical debt? Will it go rogue and publish the cures for all diseases similar to the end of Johnny Mnemonic?

Literally the plot to terminator 3. At least pick a good one you hacks

They really warn about a lots of things, maybe they should be mentally checked !

They want Cyberpunk to happen so badly.

The chocolate man is once again telling you that you should eat more chocolate in your life

Does that mean we can go back to buying RAM, NVMe and GPUs?

And let me guess, anthropic is selling the solution?

We survived the Morris worm & SQL slammer before.

It still needs hardware. The AI worm is not going to be replicating inside your phone because your phone lacks the necessary processing capacity to sustain it.

This is just more of the AI companies doing their doom thing because they think it’s good advertising. It is good advertising. But it’s also very transparent and very boring.

Of the AI was actually capable of anything profoundly useful, they’d be telling us about that rather than constantly going on about how wonderfully dangerous it is.

PR Hype. They won’t do shit. Not well. They oversold and the bill is coming due. They expect the feds to pick up that bill.

I’ve seen T-shirts in the tourist quarters of Prague that read “Home sex is killing prostitution”.

I’m a little bit sceptical to this. My background is in distributed systems. So i known this is possible on paper.

long autistic rant about sequential distributed computation, consensus and data distribution omitted for brevity

Regardless of the difficulty its mostly a question of finding the right nodes to “nest” in. American legislation will not affect the rest of the world, this will just stop it from happening in one location and if we stopped sharing AI models tomorrow the ones already out there would be able to make this given enough time or someone would build it without AI. I don’t really see how any of this could be blocked.
