Maybe you’re asking the wrong questions
Correct. Parent commenter seems to be asking questions they already know the answer to. Those are the wrong kind of questions. They should only ask the questions about things they don't know anything about. ChatGPT gets those right every time.
My goal: download the entire Wikipedia and store it in a vector db. Then have a local LLM answer questions based on Wikipedia. Best of both worlds!

I also don’t want my AI in the cloud favoring a corporation’s values and goals. But these tools are almost certainly going to come from them. And they want you to store all your data in the cloud too. And they want to keep you from running the software you want.
Eh. Patience. In the 70s, text editors, operating systems, and just about everything came from corporations, governments, and perhaps most commonly, universities when it came to software tools, and was hosted on their systems. As the hardware became more accessible, and the power needs diminished, it moved out from the mainframe to the client side. This process will take time, but if we don't have the equivalent of c…
It’s not clear to me this will ever change. While local compute will always improve (so local models become more viable), I believe that the largest and most capable models will always be cloud based.

yes someone please annotate/convert wikipedia and make it available as torrent!!

The article covers allegations of corruption and mentions his "gaffes" a number of times. Sometimes where there's no smoke, there's no fire. The guy is very boring and has a weird kid. That's about it.
i know you're being sarcastic, but do i think its interesting that centrist politics is sometimes viewed as less corrupt just because the bias is harder to articulate

Your [...] are very convenient, because you skipped over the part in paragraph 3 of Trump's article where they go over some of his main "achievements", which are presented neutrally and some people might consider positive: [Trump] signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which cut taxes for individuals and businesses and rescinded the individual health insurance mandate penalty of the Affordable Care Act. He appoint…
> Donald Trump spent his four years in office much like he spent most of his previous business career: lying and committing various forms of fraud. While president, just for variety, he added lying and committing fraud about COVID, and, oh yes, inciting a violent insurrection to overthrow the American government. Interesting that I can't find any reference for such claims in the Wikipedia article. The whole introduct…
Why would I do something like that?? Every time I ask something to chatGPT I get wrong answers…

It baffles me how you can either have a news/information source with a left-wing bias or a total cesspool of untrustworthy information with a glaringly obvious agenda. This comment seems to get some hate, but all you have to do is skim over the linked Wikipedia article to verify what I'm saying.
I agree, and for another demonstration, I invite everyone to look at similar sites as Wikipedia. They are either "left wing bias" (RationalWiki) or one with an agenda, divorced from reality (Conservapedia). It almost looks like that if you organize basic democratic cooperation among people, that's automatically "left wing" from where our current narrative stands.

And yet more recently everything began shifting to the cloud (storage, compute). Centralization leads to better economies of scale and therefore more efficiency. It’s not clear to me this will ever change. While local compute will always improve (so local models become more viable), I believe that the largest and most capable models will always be cloud based.

> Apple have a history of doing stuff locally, on the hardware they designed, that other companies have offloaded to the cloud. Looking at how they promote using iCloud on iDevices, I doubt that.
I don't think iCloud is a great example, because there's a definite value add in having your files synced between multiple devices and your computer. A better example might be Siri, which does basically nothing without an internet connection.
