For me it’s the massive amount of resources it takes to produce and run one. As the story goes, skynet infects everyone’s computer and runs itself locally on it. Whereas it’s looki…

(I'm not a part of GA.) I've known gwern for the better part of a decade. Working with him has been great. We've done quite a few projects together, including being the first ones …

Hey man, just wanted to say hi and catch up a bit. I tried DMing you on Twitter. If that sounds interesting then shoot me a message sometime. Hope you’ve been well :)

That's also a reason the big labs stopped. Publishing is most valuable to people who have no other way to get the attention of smart strangers. Once you can hire nearly anyone and …

Of course. I was just adding a little bit of context to possibly help OP in the future. Using AI at all is a minefield when you're trying to make a social media post. Better to jus…

Oh. HN has a strong bias against anything AI authored, so in the future be sure to write your posts by hand if you plan to submit them here. Even editing the post with AI will tend…

For what it’s worth, a Hetzner dedicated server has unlimited ingress and egress. It seems like it’s the only provider that does. Egress fees suck. You can get a beefy one for abou…

It was referenced by other legal cases. Why would they mention it if it didn’t help their case?

> Proprietary model weights are IP Not copyrightable IP, or at least it hasn't been challenged yet. I have experience with this: I made llama-dl, a way to download the original lla…

If anyone's looking to actually run a model that doesn't have guardrails, there's an uncensored model that you can run locally with llama.cpp: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/c…

It's an unfortunate outcome. Now to be a big player in AI, you have to have enough capital to buy your own library worth of books and digitize them. (Fun fact: a pallet of books is…

Are your comments no longer pinned at the top? I was surprised to see this so far down. It was what I needed.

Whoops. I've been using a fork of HN to manage my job interviews, and this time I accidentally submitted it to the real HN. I was very confused when I couldn't edit the story text.…
