Hacker, cypherpunk. All memes are my own.

Even if that’s correct it only works as long as your guy is in power. Once you centralize power it’s going to get really bad for you once you inevitably lose control of the power.

I did a quick research. ChatGPT still has way, way more parameters.

- ChatGPT-3.5, and GPT-4 are Large Language Models (LLMs) ChatGPT has 175 billion parameters

That’s exactly what makes LLaMA the better model. It has way less parameters and still gets GPT-3.5 level outputs.

Parameters aren’t a measure of how good a model is, just how large.

Wow! I just updated and built Gossip and the new design with the sidebar looks much better. Hats off to nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c.

Yeah, Facebook spent the money to train it on an open dataset and then the weights got leaked. It’s not censored at all and runs completely locally on your device. The llama.cpp implementation is incredibly fast.

“There was an exchange on Twitter a while back where someone said, ‘What is artificial intelligence?’ And someone else said, ‘A poor choice of words in 1954’. And, you know, they’re right. I think that if we had chosen a different phrase for it, back in the ’50s, we might have avoided a lot of the confusion that we’re having now.”

Talking with strangers is so much more fun when everyone assumes good faith.

But the cutoff date can get you if someone got popular in the last two years or so but ChatGPT decides to hallucinate a plausible story instead of admitting that it doesn’t know.

The problem of the internet is that there’s so much information it’s hard to find the stuff that’s actually interesting and informative. The best way I’ve found so far is to outsource the searching and ranking to others. This is essentially the service that Hacker News and Reddit provides for me. It’s amazing how many quality blog posts there are on the internet I never would have found on my own.

Currently you can join a community with interests somewhat aligned to yours. Hopefully AI can soon run locally and sift through articles to find those precisely suited to your tastes.

Fine, I’ll admit it. Test driven development is kind of nice.

There are some decent image generators you can run locally. I looked into them but I don’t have enough RAM on my laptop.

Yes, every human has agency but that doesn’t mean that children should be able to do anything an adult can. There is a difference between a child and an adult which I think almost everyone recognizes.

Yes, a strong rule of law applied equally regardless of power or money would be fantastic. What other tools are you talking about?

Couldn’t that be better described as libertarian? You want people to be able to live their lives as they see fit both socially and financially without government intervention telling them what they can and can’t do as long as they aren’t hurting others?

I don’t know precisely what you mean by leftist (the spectrum is almost meaningless) but wanting a larger government with more spending might make it difficult to adopt Bitcoin. Hard money and financial insanity are mortal enemies. Obviously anyone can use Bitcoin but certain opinions could make it harder or easier to embrace Bitcoin.
