<p>I don’t understand this mentality which I see over and over again on here. It’s not like the US frontier labs are beacons of morality and transparency.<p>It’s also pretty accepted within this community that a lot of data fed to US tech companies ends up with the Israeli government.<p>Meanwhile the current US government headed by Donny Tango has done a very thorough job of proving itself to be about as predictable and dependable as a rabid dog on crack.<p>Throughout the events which have transpired since a certain orange charlatan took office it is objectively true that the Chinese government has portrayed itself as a much more stable and sane entity.<p>We really need to stop this elitism and recognise the reality.</p>

<p>Agreed. An experiment is only as accurate as the methodology is sound.<p>Testing each lab’s model in its own harness just tells us how well the lab has performed. For the model’s performance we need a control and the only way to get the control is to either test all models in all harnesses or all models in the same harness</p>

<p>I don’t know that the methodology of the experiment is testing what it intends to test. With the current method we’re essentially testing each AI lab’s ability to efficiently extract data from their version of a transformer model.<p>To objectively test all models the harness would need to be the same and ideally independent. Failing that, all three models should be tested in all three harnesses and the output verified on a model x harness level and on an overall aggregated model x all harnesses level.</p>

<p>Would a fairer test not be to use the same harness for all three? I’d suspect the harness to massively affect token use and optimisation</p>

<p>This sounds cool and similar to something I’ve been building! I say similar as we have different ideas and target audiences — What I’m building is a niche network specifically targeting people who are travellers or friends that like holidaying together. I don’t want to seem like I’m spamming or self promoting so will keep the link out but will share if people want.<p>Anyway, I digress, it would be great to connect and exchange ideas if you have the time? I really like the idea of fading connections.</p>

<p>How can there be democracy in an environment where freedom of thought is all but nullified due to social manipulation through mainstream media. Calling something ‘free’ doesn’t make it so.<p>The reality is that the term democracy in western society has essentially become meaningless due to the swathes of algorithmic manipulation which occurs every second of everyday through every possible digital medium.</p>

<p>It’s seems like there are a lot fishy smells coming from the timing of the mythos announcement and the reports of issues with casual users. Combine that with the mass rejection of 4.7 it kinda seems like they are burning their ‘non research’ users in order to keep the Mythos users warm.<p>I could be connecting unrelated dots here, but it sure as hell seems quite coincidental to me.</p>

<p>Yeah I think the web is more a tool than anything else nowadays and it being homogeneous is a good thing.<p>Think of roads. It’s one of few things that humans have managed to agree on across the planet and there’s a good reason for that. The system (regardless of which side you drive on) works. Signs, markings and materials are all pretty much identical wherever you go.</p>
