Its actually useful, when you are launching into a long monologue and want periodic acknowledgement that its "listening".

Way too expensive. Google vision OCR (which they failed to compare against), is $1.50 per 1k pages. Vs $4 from Mistral.

What metrics are you using to classify it as a downfall?

Is there something in the post that you find implausible or don't believe to be true?

I doubt this is representative of real world usage. There is a difference between a few turns on a web chatbot, vs many-turn cli usage on a real project.

Entire segments of the podcast sphere are making their money talking about these so-called unspeakable subjects. Why don't you share what you really think.

48 GB is not consumer hardware. But fundamentally, there are economies of scale due to batching, power distribution, better utilization etc.., that means data center tokens will be cheaper. Also, as the cost of training (frontier) models increases, it's not clear the Chinese companies will continue open sourcing them. Notice for example, that Qwen-Max is not open source.

Flock has put out a report claiming 10% crime in the US is solved using their technology. There are of course counter argument, that claim this is not valid.

I take into account publicly available information (news articles), factor in personal anecdotes, and reason about human nature and incentives. I know the extent of reported abuses, and I do my best to extrapolate. It's not perfect, but such is life.

To be clear, even if we all agreed on the data, I still would not expect everyone to take the same position. There are subjective differences in values.

It's clearly true there have been abuses as a result of this technology. And its also clearly true criminals have been caught as a result of the cams, that otherwise would not have been.

If you believe the costs of the the abuses, and potential abuses, exceed the benefit, then at least be honest about the trade-off, because there are real benefits.

Personally, I believe the costs, on net, are worth the benefits. And in so far as the costs can be further reduced, without loosing most benefits, then great. This is not right or wrong. It's just a question of values, and how you weight the costs vs benefits.

Don't down-vote this all at once.

Exactly. As far as I'm concerned, the benchmark is useless. It's way too easy and rewarding to train on it.
