Then you should provably know that image gen existed long before MLLMs and was already a menace to artists back then.

And that MLLM is generally a layered combo of lots of preexisting tools, where LLM is used as a medium that allows to attach OCR inputs and give more accurate instructions to image gen AI part.

Openweight/Opensource LLMs do exist though. And isn’t not only tiny models.

With infinite time, sure. Time isn’t infinite.

AI marketing is total BS, but it doesn’t mean AI is not useful in it’s current state. People try to argue as if that was the case, but it simply isn’t. Agentic AI + LLM does speed up usual tasks by a whole fucking lot.

Next day, these people would be wondering why they don’t have access to essential tools they need to be effective (means of production), completely forgotten they were against these tools completely out of principle. This is as shortsighted as it can get.

Article directly complains about AI artwork. You know what LLM even means?

You can have knowledge of the technology firsthand and just need to generate the code? I mean I would need to google different function names and conversion tricks all the time anyway, even if I’m really good at it. If AI slops it for me, it just speeds it up by a lot, and I can notice bad moments.

Again, the better you know what you are doing, the more it could help.

even meta

Lol, ofc meta, they have the biggest bigdata out there, full of private data.

Most of the opensources are recompilations of existing opensource LLMs.

And the page you’ve listed is <10b mostly, bar LLMs with huge financing, and generally either copropate or Chinese behind them.

Besides, the article is about image gen AI, not LLMs.

you can’t be critical about the answer

You actually can, and you should be. And the process is not destructive since you can always undo in tools like cursor, or discard in git.

Besides, you can steer a good coding LLM in a right direction. The better you understand what are you doing - the better.

I can almost guarantee that hundred billion params LLMs are not trained on that, and are trained on the whole web scraped to the furthest extent.

The only sane and ethical solution going forward is to force to opensource all LLMs. Use the datasets generated by humanity - give back to humanity.

Some really vicious backdoor that contains dangerous substance in a hidden chamber? Not a far reach when we are talking about corporate backdoors normalized.

When reading cyberpunk lore, quickhacks didn’t make any sense to me. Some programs that break cyberware because of backdoors, but why would people install cyberware with backdoors?

Now I look at the sad state of mobile market and, yeah ok, that makes sense.

Huh, using aurora for a few apps that aren’t foss, didn’t know there are any issues with it. I’m impressed how crisp it is.

Also TrackerControl FOSS app that filters ads on your phone directly. Can enable/disable different stuff per-app. Must have no proxy/dns to work.

If you have trillemas all over it IS flawed in one way or another. End users won’t get through the complexity of multi-choice where every one has downsides. How do you even drive the adoption if every store would accept only their crypto of choice?

So, not decentralised in it’s original sense, if a pack of people decide which operations are allowed. Decentralised as in “not a single bank”.

See, this is what I mean when I say they all have flaws.

russian 🤮 game

First time hearing about Canton. Is it properly decentralised?

You kidding? How many transactions per second bitcoin blockchain can do?

I own crypto because I believe in idea of decentralised money, but I acknowledge that current solutions are just all bad in one way or another. If fiat disappeared tomorrow and everyone would be forced to use crypto daily, it would be a shitshow.
