What kind of specs do you need to run one of these?

I feel like tech people worry too much about AGI which is a bit baffling to me. I don’t think AGI is even conceivable at this point because of which a lot of what they talk about sounds like scifi world building.

Like when Hotz says that AI technologies will improve exponentially, I don’t know how he can just accept that as a fact. Sounds a bit tech utopian.

What I worry about more is that the internet is gonna be flooded with AI generated garbage to exploit SEO for clicks. I don’t want AI to replace artists, voice actors, programmers etc. because the current trajectory seems to be heading towards removing removing human labour so that the capitalist class can keep a bigger chunk of the profit rather than towards AI being used as a tool to enhance productivity.

AI being a monopoly of big corporations is also an issue. I don’t know what kind of resources it takes to train and run an LLM. But a corporation like OpenAI flush with vulture capital money will be much better placed to run the whole training pipeline. It must be a very labour and compute intensive process that a non-profit will not be able to match even if the underlying algorithms are open source. I doubt software running on a consumer’s machine like LLAMA will be able to compete with something like GPT.

I am not being coherent because I try to keep myself out of the loop when it comes to AI because I have a knee jerk aversion towards the technology. But I hope I made a semblance of a point. AGI scare is a red herring. Execute Bill Gates.

“technical finesse of elon musk with the wits and charm of tony stark” this is as far as i got

Is Cory Doctorow some sort of controlled opposition? I don’t know much about him but he has made a career out of being anti-big tech. This in itself would not alarm me but he says he has given talks in Google offices about this. I cannot imagine someone truly a threat to Google would be allowed to do this.

It could but it also could not. It’s too early to say and it’s too up in the air despite how impressive the technology is. That’s why I think it’s very arrogant on their part to talk like they are gonna be the ones to usher in AGI.

There are people there saying React and Rust’s memory safety are authoritarian.

A few days ago an article was posted said life expectancy of American men was 6 years shorter than women’s. Some folks there thought it disproves the existence of patriarchy.

The comment it is in reply to says:

At all levels of government we’re (worldwide) making due with less while these fucking parasites grow.

So Yogthos provides a counterpoint where a government is investing in the lower rungs of the society instead of squeezing them. If you want to dispute the mentioned facts it’s one thing but the comment is still relevant and not out-of-nowhere China shilling.

Is that an Android fork or something new developed from scratch?

If you search for open source airtable alternative you will find stuff like https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb

I have never used these though so good luck.

Never tried these but: https://armorpaint.org/ // https://github.com/armory3d/armortools

while Nestle has very questionable practices in 3rd world countries

Nestle has awful practices everywhere

Thanks

Could this software be of any use to me if I am just an end user? I use torrents a lot but don’t understand the technology and terminology behind it.

I feel like people forget he was sort of a segregationist too talking about how he did not what his children to grow up in a racial jungle.

I am not sure of the specifics but their website says

GitLab is not completely open source. It is owned by a for profit corporation.

Codeberg runs on Forjego which is open source. It is run by a non-profit.

The article targets a specific type of person who buys AI marketing wholesale rather than someone who just has a positive opinion of AI.
