The Big Secret That Big AI Doesn't Want You To Know
I am writing this for what I truly believe to be the benefit of — not to ridicule, mock, or condemn — brilliant, driven people I know and care about; and for everyone else as well.
AI is a big deal! Lots of people talking about it. Lots of people using it, to various ends and effects! All very interesting and worth discussing.
There are concerns, of course: what’s happening to the data being fed in and hoovered up by these private, VC-funded, US-intelligence-linked 1 tech companies? What biases are coded or trained in? 2 What happens when the infinite investor money runs out and the economics of all of this actually start to matter? How many jobs will it destroy, and how soon? 3
For some, the answer is obvious: open-source AI models which one can run on their own devices, locally. An intuitive idea, to be sure!
What if I told you there already existed a Neural Network that you could run right in your own home, and which doesn’t have 4 the hallucination problem of all the current LLMs? One whose biases you can mould and be actively aware of? Which can’t ever be ripped away from you by a private corporation, or — hell — even by an EMP or catastrophic sun storm?
