I have at one point faced the “should I buy x86 instead”, and decided low-power Intel CPUs make it viable. Guess I’m gonna pick the x86.

Lol, no.

Tinfoil etc offer TEE inference that works well, directly or via API routers.

Why would you not put a CDN in front? I’d rather do that than CAPTCHA.

Would you mind opening it to the public? We’d be okay making modifications for our use cases, so dumping the code would be fine.

Interoperability clause in the EU might make it legal? Not sure.

That’s just how some humans write. These words didn’t come from an LLM vacuum.

Difficult texture, but I appreciate the disclosure of AI use and found some of the points interesting enough to write my own essays on.

Under Linux it is allegedly 110GB, but I’m not sure.

Executive dysfunction mitigation. Voice based interfaces. Heavyweight personal file classification with a few hours of prompt building vs labelling a bespoke classifier’s data set and training a more “lightweight” option in weeks or days. Language translation that isn’t DeepL or Google Translate for random websites. They are not deterministic, but the error rate is a lot better on these tasks vs classical approaches.

That's like saying we shouldn't be letting people access glasses or wheelchairs because we need a way to fix the issue at the root. Nope.

I use both of these and I don't think I've once had an LLM rewrite my comment before posting it on HN.

They are trained on natural language. Not anthropomorphizing them is the worse end of the spectrum.

LLMs are indeed displacing labour. Junior IT roles are drying up in places. Translation and art are also becoming harder to earn from.

They always have a choice, it just doesn't make them as much.

There was Lavabit, though that's an example of just one such event.

Edit: and to some extent Apple, at least in the past.

I am on this very forum as an explicit effort to counterbalance that very view. You have my strong agreement.

I didn't even realize that this is (allegedly) written with AI. If it's AI, then it's the kind of AI writing that's closer to the real deal and that I want to see more widely applied if AI is to be used.
