<p>I see no contradiction. GPT as synonym for AI and llama as symbol for open weights models. The original comment said llama had set something off in the open weights community. And I say you see that with llama.cpp, llamaindex, r/localllama. No one bothered to update them to qwen.cpp or qwenindex. And they were never localgpt or gpt.cpp.<p>Culture and language use says a lot about importance of ideas. Regardless of what was first or what some scholar sees as historically more important.</p>

<p>Sorry to pop your bubble, but the moment you add any IP connectivity it will be eventually used to mandate internet access. The devices you have now might not yet demand it, but you will have to replace them at some point or extend your setup in the future. We've seen this play out so many times now, it's baffling people still think this time will be different.<p>There's a saying: If you set up a trough, the pigs will come.</p>

<p>In Germany and France it was established in the early 1800s. That was when the degree wasn't just a license to teach but you also had to prove you could contribute to research. Oxford was just late to the game. Whether Oxford participated, however, was more irrelevant than not to those other places I'd guess. The US was apparently also late to it, leading to an influx of American PhD students to Germany mid 19th century.</p>

<p>> - "Add these domains with these mailboxes to an SMTP server running on my homelab, forward all incoming and outgoing via mxroute"<p>I laughed reading this. Have you actually tried it? I recently tried to get Claude (Opus) to give me a setup for a simple SMTP relay with Postfix. I had to constantly fight it not to include completely unnecessary components and configurations like Dovecot or just override my requirements. Even Claude is nothing but a semi-competent tutorial clicker.<p>To someone who never did anything like this themselves the result might seem fantastic. They might not battle Claude on details like I did because "hey, it works, doesn't it".<p>Don't get me wrong, I agree in general that LLMs are a significant milestone. But I would like to add, especially because of your tone, that perception of <i>how</i> much of a leap it is, is very likely a matter of individual competence. So your enthusiasm might say more about yourself than about the tool.</p>

<p>I see every version as a remix of the original material, each done with their own take and philosophy. They're not remakes or reboots.<p>The only version that didn't add anything new was the Hollywood movie, which was an entertaining but shallow derivative of Oshii's animes and not based on the manga at all.<p>I think the original material provides enough ideas to continue spinning off new remixes. It hasn't even been outdated by the recent advancements in AI. Quite the opposite.</p>
