Hopefully this stuff pans out. I’d love see it happen.

Is Russian imperialism in the room with your right now?

Give it a year and we’ll see. These things are improving at an incredible pace, and costs continue to go down as well. Things you needed to have a data center to do just a year ago can now be done on a laptop.

My whole point throughout this discussion has been that whether LLM was used to edit this or not is entirely uninteresting. Meanwhile, it depends on what instance of Lemmy you’re on. Perhaps in the bubbles you frequent, most people are obsessing over genAI. My experience is that people are fairly split on the subject. What I personally find tiresome is people derailing conversations away from interesting subjects to endlessly discuss whether something is AI or not. It’s just noise at this point, and people really need to find a new hobby.

LoRA’s are actually really cheap and fast to make. That article I linked explains how it literally took 2 bucks to do. I don’t really think anything is getting worse forever. Things are just changing, and that’s one constant in the world.

And I’m saying that doesn’t follow at all. In fact, accuracy could be the only thing the author cares about, so he can read over and make sure there are no factual mistakes leaving the generated style as is. It’s honestly just so tiring having threads derailed by this endless perseveration people are doing over things being LLM generated. This is the world we live in now.

Also, it’s kinda weird to immediately claim that people disagreeing with you have to be alts or something. Like you really can’t conceive of your opinion not being dominant?

You know you can just not read an article and move on. But if you’re going to argue about accuracy of the article then you kinda have to at least show an example of it being inaccurate. The reality is that there’s been plenty terrible and hard to read articles written long before LLMs were a thing, and this one is far from the worst I’ve seen. It seems to me that you’re just bothered that an LLM was used to put the text together.

I read these articles for the content, and I find news writing has been terrible long before LLMs. At least this way it’s written closer to just being a summary that you can scan through easily. You’ll be glad to know that people are working on stuff like this already, so LLM generated content is going to read very much like traditional human written content before long. https://muratcankoylan.com/projects/gertrude-stein-style-training/

If you want to point out specific inaccuracies in the article then please go ahead and do that.

You might as well get used to it, LLMs are a tool that’s in wide use and it’s delusional to think that news sites will not use be using them. Personally, I absolutely do not care if the text was formatted by AI, as long as the content is factual.

🤣

This is existing high performance hardware that you can buy. I’d love for there to be something equivalent built using RISCV, but there’s not.

Honestly, I suspect it makes very little difference in practice which one you’re using if you’re going to communicate with people outside Proton. If I use Gmail, and you send me an email from your Proton account, guess what happens.

I haven’t actually tried that. I got it running on my M1, but only used it with the laptop screen.

My view is that all corps are slimy, some are just more blatant about it than others. I do agree that Apple stuff tends to be overpriced, and I’ve love to see somebody else offer a similar architecture using RISCV that would target Linux. I’m kind of hoping some Chinese vendors will start doing that at some point. What Apple did with their architecture is pretty clever, but it’s not magic and now that we know how and why it works, seems like it would make sense for somebody else to do something similar.

The big roadblock in the west is the fact that Windows has a huge market share, and the market for Linux users is just too small for a hardware vendor to target without having Windows support. But in China, there’s an active push to get off US tech stack, and that means Windows doesn’t have the same relevance there.

Exactly, and there is already some work happening in that regard. This project is focusing on making a high performance RISCV architecture https://github.com/OpenXiangShan/XiangShan

I really hope the project doesn’t die, they had some people leave recently and there was some drama over that. Apple hardware is really nice, and with Linux it would be strictly superior to macos which is just bloated garbage at this point. I’m also hoping we’ll see somebody else make a similar architecture to M series using ARM or RISCV targeting Linux. Maybe we’ll see some Chinese vendors go RISCV route in the future.

Whether something is economically viable or not depends on how much time you spend developing the technology. Many materials in common usage today were exotic when they were first invented. Then economies of scale kicked in and prices went down. The US simply failed to invest into this technology. That’s the reality. China also has a long track record doing state level investment without seeking any immediate profit. The high speed rail system is a good example. Western media kept talking about how it wasn’t profitable, and that didn’t stop China from continuing to build it. There’s been no end of articles like this. And all of them completely missed the point that HSR is a long term investment that drives economic growth across the country.

Similarly, building thorium reactors is not a short term profit target. It’s a long term investment into energy security. Molten salt reactors can be built anywhere because they don’t require a large body of water nearby for cooling. They are extremely safe, there is no problem with long term waste, and China has abundant thorium reserves. That makes solving the materials problem an attractive proposition.

In terms of functionality, it works well. The main limitation is software availability. If you rely on anything that can’t be built for the architecture then it’s not going to be a good daily driver.
