I suppose it is a mixture, of both work and coworkers.
I like trying to “perfect my craft”. But also, I like spending time with my coworkers and getting to brainstorm and chat with them.
That being said I am also very fortunate to only have to work 36hrs per week. Pay is less than full time, but it can also just eat out less
I think it’s at least way more ethical to use locally hosted open weight AI. Mostly because a lot of these models are usually fine tuned and distilled to run on a single GPU and that is the direction the technology needs to develop to be sustainable.
Obviously for most things it’s way more ethical to just not use AI or LLMs.
I think people should at least experiment with running local models on their own hardware. It really puts it into perspective how much compute they use. Like the power, speed, and performance ratios of different size LLM and how absurd anything involving generating video is. I have a pretty beefy gaming PC and it took it like 6 minutes to generate 10 seconds of 720p video. And then that time goes up exponentially past 10 seconds. Like 20 minutes for a 15 second video
Running on a small model is basically like playing a modern full sized video game. When I measure my PC with a power meter
Not trying to be sarcastic, but do you not find joy in your work? I’ll ask for more work too when I run out of things to do as well.
I just like electronics and stuff though. And the boring/tedious parts of my job I think it is at least fun to try to automate or streamline them with python or other tools
You guys have free time at work? Kinda curious what you all do?
I am and Electrical Engineer and am usually busy all day. Sometimes I’ll head home a few hours early if i hit my hours for for the week or if I have to “hurry up and wait”
Company is still ran by people though
It’s pretty interesting article. I actually dropped my Chad GPT subscription a few years ago and switched a locally hosting my own Ollama server for like privacy concerns.
I’m still going to continue to use my locally hosted large language models but I don’t know, its interesting to know that chat gpt seems to not care about user data except for training or making money.
I thought it was interesting how the article said that if ChatGPT was a human it would have been charged with murder.
Obviously I don’t think ChatGPT is a human but it does raise questions about the kind of laws regarding LLM and the companies behind them.
Like at what point do AI companies have a responsibility to step in in these scenarios?
Brave. I know some people don’t like it because of all the crypto nonsense, but I’ve never enabled any of that.
I really like it it’s built in ad and content blockers. Kinda random, but I love that you can block YouTube shorts. Idk, I just don’t like YouTube shorts or other short form videos like tik tok or Instagram
I’m thinking about trying zen again in the near future. At the time it seemed a little “too innovative” for me, but idk. I’ve been brower hopping a bit, because sometimes thing don’t work of Brave because of how much stuff I have it set up to block
They should force them to open source their models, datasets, and research
It’s classified as an “assault rifle” in my state. But yeah, I suppose it varies from state to state.
Depends on whether you consider an AR-15 to be an assault rifle or not
Oh good, all my assault rifles are still okay though
One thing that is never really illustrated in movies is how loud pistols are too. Shoot a pistol without ear protection and your ears can ring for hours or weeks depending on caliber and barrel length.
