Fuck this shit, why does every fucking thing need an LLM?

    We should be appreciating open-source AI. If you stay in one place, you can’t grow.

      Do we really need to grow our energy consumption as a society by such a disproportionate amount?

        this can run locally on your device which means probably doesn’t consume that much energy

            but that was already done. They are using Mistrial which was already trained. Proton didn’t train a new AI for this.

              The whole premise of this discussion was about technological progress and growth going by your initial comment. That means refining existing models and training new ones, which is going to cost a lot of energy. The way this industry is going, even privacy conscious usage of open source models will contribute to the insane energy usage by creating demand and popularizing the technology.
