Agreed.
Really, if someone wants to use an LLM, the right place to run it is in a sandbox locally on your own computer
Anything else is just a stupid architecture. You don’t run your Second Brain on Someone Else’s Computer
It’s like the Internet in 1998
Pets.com hasn’t gone but yet, but it will.
The bubble will burst. BUT … the entire world will run on this new technology, nobody will imagine living without it, and multibillion dollar companies will profit and be created from it
Yes, several are fully open source. I like Mistral
what do you think an LLM is? once you’ve opened the weights, IMO it’s pretty open. Once they open the training data, that’s pretty damn open. What do you want a gitian reproducible build?
I am not a linguist but the deafening silence from Chomsky and his defenders really does demand being called out.
Syntactical models of language have been completely crushed by statistics-at-scale via neural nets. But linguists have not rejected the broken model.
The same thing happened with protein folding – researchers who spent the last 25 years building complex quantum mechanical/electrostatic models of protein structure suddenly saw AlphaFold completely crush prior methods. The difference is, bioinformatics researchers have already done a complete about-face and are taking the new AI tools and running with them.
believing that a large language model has any kind of awareness or actual intelligence is absurd
I (as a person who works professionally in the area and tries to keep up with the current academic publications) happen to agree with you. But my credences are somewhat reduced after considering the points Hinton raises.
I think it is worth considering that there are a handful of academically active models of consciousness; some well-respected ones like the CTM are not at all inconsistent with Hinton’s statements
This Nobel Prize winner and subject matter expert takes the opposite view
Is “No Hamas” allowed?

Ditto. But I am taking my time. I am on the free tier; I cost him money. I’ll move off eventually probably to Tutanota unless something better shows up
