whisper doesn't seem to support diarization (identifying when the speaker changes), which is needed for subtitle formatting.

I disagree, I see tons of people blaming admins for moderation actions and vice-versa.

clearly the arbitration panel ruled against Lindell because it's part of the deep state. /s

Windows reserves a certain percentage for VRAM for some reason. So I'd recommend Linux. Or find a way to disable the desktop/UI in Windows.

exactly! I gave a heartfelt letter to my shredder the other day and it simply destroyed it. issues like these are why AI alignment research is so critical.

Worldcoin price skyrockets => cryptocurrency speculation returns => GPU shortage prevents further training of LLMs

The model weights were only shared by FB to people who applied for research access. Github repos containing links to the model weights have been taken down by FB.

More VRAM => larger models. IME it is absolutely worth maxing out VRAM for the significant improvement in quality, especially with LLaMA (though even with a 4090, you won't be able to run the largest 65-billion parameter model even with 4-bit quantization).

That said, I recommend renting a cloud GPU for a few hours and trying the larger models on them before buying a GPU of your own, just to see if the models meet your requirements.

A lot of the 'look what I made with AI' images that get shared around also don't include the creator's workflow. There's usually lots of trial-and-error, manual painting/inpainting, multiple models involved etc. and explaining all that is a lot harder than just saying 'I used stable diffusion'.

ugh, that's so shitty. so many people in this space seem to be absurdly demanding and angry at devs, but one thing I've noticed is that every text AI project discord I've hung out in has this sleazy, obsessive 4chan /g/ vibe hiding somewhere in it.

> the "number B" stands for "number of billions" of parameters... trained on?

No, it's just the size of the network (i.e. number of learnable parameters). The 13/30/65B models were each trained on ~1.4 trillion tokens of training data (each token is around half a word).
