  • The way that could be done would be significantly worse than 15 slower. That’s the issue. Even with the fastest storage, moving things between RAM and storage creates massive bottlenecks.

    There are ways to reduce this overhead by intelligently timing moving pieces between storage and RAM, but storage is slow. I don’t know how the models work, if it is possible to know what will be needed soon, so you can start moving it into RAM before it’s needed. If that can be done then it wouldn’t be impossibly bad, but if it can’t then we’re talking something like 100x slower maybe. Most of these are already pretty slow on consumer hardware, so that’d be effectively unusable. You’d be waiting hours for responses.




  • The model should take into account income. For an open-source model it should be free. It’s using public data to produce a public product. For a for-profit model it should be paid. If they’re profiting off of public data then they should have to pay for the right to use it.

    We can’t afford to make any of this. We don’t have the money for the compute required or to pay for the lawyers to make the law work for us. It should benefit the people, so it needs to change. It needs to be “expanded” (I wouldn’t call it that, rather “modified” but I’ll use your word) in that it currently only protects the wealthy and binds the poor. It should be the opposite.


  • As with all things, nuance and context is required. I don’t think we should be taxing poor people that heavily (if at all), but does that mean I should be against taxing the ultra-wealthy more? Obviously not.

    I support copyright to protect developers and not hinder users, hobbyists, or the average person. I don’t support it to only help massive companies who can manipulate the law to protect them from competition, but also not hinder them from stealing from the masses. They can afford to pay. If AI is actually as valuable as they say, the price of paying for the training data is trivial.

    Copyright shouldn’t only be helpful to big businesses. It should be most helpful to the average person. We have the opposite here. I support modifying copyright law to bind big businesses and liberate individuals. I don’t need to be totally against it like you imply.
