I’m sure; I just don’t know how. I need to set aside some time and educate myself.

Frankly, this generation of AI I find rather dull. It won’t directly lead a AGI, although I’m sure it’ll be a component, but I think that’ll be another 10-20 years before the next breakthrough. I personally don’t think it’s as interesting as the symbolic, knowledge-based systems of the mid-80’s; at least those were reasoning systems. LLMs look impressive to lay people (including myself - I understand the general concepts, but have no experience with the programming or training, so I’m just another lay user), but there’s no reasoning or understanding behind it, and if what it produces is truthful or accurate, it’s largely on accident. So I’ve had trouble getting excited about it.

Well, it’s either that or finding a Lemmy community for “what’s that book” and posting a long description of how you remember the book.

I did this recently about a TV show I once saw an episode or two on broadcast TV in the early 90’s. Only I completely misremembered it; I thought one of the main characters was a little girl when, in fact, it was a grizzled old woodworker. I mean, really, Brain? What the actual fuck? Luckily, from the context and time period, someone recognized it, but I no longer trust my own memory (if I ever really did).

“So, I read this book once - I think there were two or three in the series - and it was about some little furry girls who find a magic potion in a cave, but the potion is poison that can kill everyone in the world, and they had to take it to a special magic hole and throw it in. And they’re being chased the entire time by ghosts on ghost horses. I think there are trees in it.” - me, trying to describe the LOTR. Thanks, Brain; you’re a big help.

Is it really or is it just a binary release like everything else?

Edit: It is actually Foss

I’m not familiar with the space but realised this was a big deal.

I feel like I need to shower after interacting with any of the other LMs.

Something fully open source will hopefully be embraced by the community and be used for some interesting, useful, and value producing things instead of just attracting venture capital.

I see, thank you.

Damn, they even chose a dataset with a open license.

To be fair, I didn’t know if that language included programming language, and thus maybe still consider image based AI to be included in LLM. Is there a different designation for the type of AI that does image generation?
