Can you use an LLM to teach you how to build a gun or use it to design a gun for you build? Can an LLM be used to generate images of young people for older perverts? If yes, then it's not very hard to make the argument that you need to be licensed in order to run an LLM on your local machine. Why wouldn't you want to be licensed? Are you against protecting children and public safety? Many students die from gun violen…

In the US, attaching legislation like that to firearms instructions would doom its success. It sounds like a great idea to ratfuck a potential bill. No Republican would be able to pass a bill that bans local agents from helping citizens exercise their 2nd Amendment rights. The politics are probably different in other countries. We're still seeing Chat Control efforts in the EU.

That is the one of the main reasons they passed the law to limit 3-d printers.

Now where I could agree with you is if you made the argument on a state-by-state level. Pretty sure what you said would hold up in Texas

> The "don't print guns" laws? What lobby would that be? Gun control lobbying groups are pushing for these laws. https://www.everytown.org/solutions/stop-spread-of-3d-printe...

Wow, that is some breathtaking stupidity. Almost literally breathtaking. Who is funding these people?

The point of a special interest group is just to serve the special interest, nothing else.

Basically all of them will throw any other interest under the bus to support their own.

Ok? How is that relevant to the issue at hand?

That a government has a much easier time controlling who's renting a building with the energy consumption of small city than what everyone's coding on their laptop?

How is a government controlling the other 190+ sovereign countries?

That's the kind of mindset that helps lead to that situation.

This is the kind of mindset that has no grasp of the true nature of power and the political system.

So you rather do nothing than something?

Laws restricting the use of local AI/LLMs are not going to happen, no matter how much Anthropic might want it. All the major OEMs are now counting on local LLMs to take off. Just look at the OEM support for the upcoming Nvidia RTX Spark platform: Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, MSI. All the big names in the industry will have, by the end of this year, Nvidia-powered machines made specifically for local LLM use.

Can you use an LLM to teach you how to build a gun or use it to design a gun for you build? Can an LLM be used to generate images of young people for older perverts?

By the same logic, you would need to license Google and youtube access. Just because it's interactive, doesn't change the premise. But yes, that exactly the arguments Anthropic and OpenAI will use for the regulatory capture.

Is anyone seeing this?

```

Phishing is when a site attempts to steal sensitive information by falsely presenting as a safe source.

Who "reports" this? And why does cloudfare take them down? How does this even work?

If big biz wants it, it'll only run signed blob models and prolly send telemetry.

Point is.. if I want to run equivalent of GNU model with zero blobs or other corporate silliness, I should be able to.

We should absolutely yes
