 this is great https://about.fb.com/news/2024/07/open-source-ai-is-the-path-forward/ 
 Yes.  Game-changer! 
 Running Llama locally is the only interaction with AI I am comfortable with. And it's a great experience.
We only need simpler ways to train the models further on local data, a method that can be deployed by the normal user without much tech involved.
I think a better/easier training framework is more important than a new model. 
 ollama with webui is great 
 Got any good tutorials handy? I know i can just google them but I would appreciate some input 
 dont know good tutorials but there are likely some around, you can put stuff in docker for easy deployment 
 💯 
 Important points on AI safety issues.

“At some point in the future, individual bad actors may be able to use the intelligence of AI models to fabricate entirely new harms from the information available on the internet. At this point, the balance of power will be critical to AI safety. I think it will be better to live in a world where AI is widely deployed so that larger actors can check the power of smaller bad actors. This is how we’ve managed security on our social networks – our more robust AI systems identify and stop threats from less sophisticated actors who often use smaller scale AI systems. More broadly, larger institutions deploying AI at scale will promote security and stability across society. As long as everyone has access to similar generations of models – which open source promotes – then governments and institutions with more compute resources will be able to check bad actors with less compute. ”

 世の中はAIに限らずオープンソース的にすべき。

 Tis  
 Please, talk to me 
 I want to know what changed with Zuck. Used to not be able to stand him but he has been saying and doing things lately which I've grown to respect. 
 It's a psyop. He is actively re-branding himself. 
 Honestly, that's what I was thinking but I'm trying to be optimistic haha 
 Learning the hard way from his reliance on Apple and how ruggable he is? 
 A careful rebranding.  
 I'm here because I don't want anything to do with FB or Zucky. I don't care about that puppet. 
 curly Zuck is different 
 Yeah... when did he get hair?  
 they use open source to get as much from people then they close it, why not give the right to use the code too ? 

open source does not mean its free to use, just open to see it and might help to build it ! 
 Thats pretty cool. 
As soon as we stop collecting our patient data on paper, we might be able to train an AI... In like 5 years. Welcome to Germany -.- 
 Wish list just dropped. localisation is great. A lot of corporations are rushing towards llm adoption through microsoft (their localisation is a few tens of a thousand annually if i am not mistaken). Reminded me of your italian talk on why the giants keep getting bigger and the danger to it. 

I guess one step further might be in isolating ownership, esp for customers who leverage the tech, maybe end to end encryption or de-identifying data idk. 

It might prevent customer’s data leakage or for the business owner to be put in a position to hand it to the govt when they come knocking.  
 open source is the future of everything. oss/acc! ossacc.com 🙏

 It’s not altruism. Companies like Meta and Google made their fortunes by processing data and curating it for their audience.

These open source models will be used in all sorts of applications and therefore Meta will continue to shape society with them. It also makes it nearly impossible for some startup to raise money to compete since these models are hard to compete with.

“Commoditize your complement” as Joel Spolsky calls it. 
 Did Zuck drop acid?  
 😅💯 
 And smoked some 5-meo-DMT by the looks of it. 
 always a zucker. no way 
 he is commoditizing the layer to hurt others. 3 other big player  probably spent hundreds of millions. by spending a smaller amount he is hurting 3 big ones. ultimately small players gain. 

i may switch to 3.1 from 3. right now Ostrich 70B is based on 3. but i have to first check how much disinformation is in 3.1. for that i have to check truthfulQA and also run some tests. need i say truthfulQA is not that truthful 🤦‍♂️  
 this is mostly by accident.

they decided to go open-source when model weights accidentaly leaked on 4chan. Scorched earth might be the winning strategy in the end though. 
 I talk to meta AI with some intelligence conversations. Subjects like enlightenment, storm experiences, and etc. 
 yes 
 I'm going to take your word for it 
 Great read. Thanks for sharing. 

Although I am not a coder, it thrills me that even CEOs of big tech companies promote open source today. 
 there was an interesting idea on this topic, but somehow it passed everyone by... note14mrcpw0gxyq7f0p65wdn8x7y58mkv5ax60p2wysp4v6nwt5wa5gqqkml6w 
 deserving of so much kudos! humanity loves a good comeback story. we’re so good at learning from previous experiences and iterating and improving.
