Bit of a silly article, Its premise is that demand doesnt increase cost for electricity because between 1980 and 2000 demand increased by 70% and price didnt rise (inflation adjusted). But it doesnt mention that oil prices were at their peak in 1980 and then fell by more than 70% over the next two decades.
So its hardly surprising that prices didn’t rise despite the growth in demand.
Anthropic are nice, but cultists who think they are raising their own machine god for them to worship.
Its very unlikely you will have any success decompiling things with such a small model, unfortunately this is a case where you need a cloud hosted model.
Gosh what a shocking result! Anthropic showing that those nasty, scary open weight models could somehow turn into self replicating paperclip maximisers! Don’t use them though, they are completely useless for coding, unlike the models they sell access to.
Yep, you can use it to serve models over a network, it essentially creates an api withe the same structure as openai’s ones then serves that. By default just to your machine for other programs to use, but I serve mine to my tailnet so I can use my desktop on my laptop or phone.
Those apis are on 127.0.0.1, that’s a shorthand for “this local computer”. This is just different bits of the program communicating with each other.
You can see that its not going over the internet as the responses are coming back in microseconds.
You should really try reading the rest of it, you’ll probably agree with it given that its an entirely negative view of AI, just one that isnt willfully blind.
Nah they arent actively trying to poison people, they just dont give a fuck if they do and have every incentive to not look into it more than they are legally obliged to.
No, the GPL doesnt put any restrictions on what you can do with code, just on that code and derivatives of it have to be released (source code included) under the GPL as well.
The courts have tended to find that training LLMs on data you have legal access to is fair use and transformative.
De-compiling isnt magic that lets you do whatever you want with software. It just works well for games because DRM has the insane model of “we give you the encrypted payload and the key to unlock it, but you can only unlock it in the way we want” which is fundamentally insecure. Most software isnt like that.
They don’t have to offer this to get new versions, that’s kinda the point of foss software, it’s there for anyone to download and use however they like whenever they want.
Eh, I’m not 100% sold on that. All most all of them come from the Effective Altruism/Longtermism cult which was obsessing over AI (to the extent that they were taking positions where it was moral imperative to do harm now in order to bring about billions of AI “lives” sooner) long before LLMs were a thing.
I don’t doubt that it is partially about the money, but a lot of them are honest believers in summoning the machine god.
