Its getting better all the time, its crazy how much better consumer level hardware can run competent models (even if it’s lower params) these days compared to just 6 months ago.

That’s literally not what you said, you said “LLM code can not be auditable” which is demonstrably wrong.
Go ahead and move the goal posts though.


Self host an open model, but yeah 20 a month is not that expensive for what you can do with it.
But that’s not what anyone in this thread is saying, they’re saying LLM code bad and stealing so let’s poison open source projects. Also sharing code is bad now, when I’m sure many of these people would claim they like open source code.
Again, I think knowledge and code should be free for all to use so that we all benefit from it.


Like all of human knowledge, I swear you antillm people are out of your mind.
Here we have a way to bring coding and creation to the masses at a much lower bar and most of the LLM projects I see are MIT licensed, it’s literally a revolution for open source but half of you are pearl clutching and acting like god damn Microsoft.


Yes it can, its literally still code.


I’m sure the peeps at Valve are getting paid very well.


I just moved from a Fold 4 (hinge broke or something, when I opened it the screens would go blank and only recover on a hard reboot) so I got a Pixel 10 Pro, flashed graphene and spent most of yesterday reinstalling apps more intentionally.
Authy refused to run, which is fine as I’ve been too lazy to swap from it even though I’ve been pissed since they got rid of the desktop app. Anyway I went through the 9 sites I had setup there and swapped it over to my vaultwarden.
Other apps that didn’t install were EBay and Coinbase, both I can live with using the mobile browser instead (don’t use them all that frequently anyway).
The amount of times I’ve had AI solve a problem my 30+ year senior couldn’t figure out on his own applications he’s been working on through that entire time…


NMS never had endless DLCs and microtransactions
Extremely conservative/risk averse and slow to implement basically anything new, unless it’s super flashy like AI lol
This is really cool in theory, I doubt my corp would let me use it though :(


Oh definitely, it was overwhelming at first for me too, but that’s how one learns imo
Now that I’ve been using it for a year and a half it’s much better but those first few months were quite the learning experience lol
The Qanon Shaman basically always dressed like that for any events.
Lmfao the billionaires are why we can’t have nice things, they put their finger on the scale all the time for their own benefit.


Haha I started on computers really young, so I got to experience a lot of the early 2000’s era internet.
I forgot about eDonkey, sharing forums are another, used to frequent astalavista forums lol.
You’re right about torrents though in general, really changed the sharing game.
I remember Firefox 2 having TABS, instead of a bunch of IE or Netscape windows lmao.
Trying to play warcraft 3 custom maps and getting booted from games because of dialup making the map download take forever (or a phone call mid-game causing me to lag out and get kicked).
I didn’t get cable/dsl until my parents divorced around 2008, I remember sitting in the corner of our empty house (they had to short sell it during the housing crisis and my mom took most of the furniture when she moved out) trying to connect to my neighbor friend’s wifi (that I had flashed ddwrt on lmao) with this windows 95 laptop I managed to flash Linux mint onto to make it usable just to watch some anime.
Fun times.


I’m not old! I’m still in my 30s 🥲
Yet I too did all of the above except winmx, I used limewire lol
You don’t have to delegate thinking, I’m sure many people will but it’s absolutely not a requirement for using LLMs as the intended tool they are.
On the topic of price, I’m sure people were saying the same things about books (oh must be nice you can afford books), then the same about computers and the internet. They eventually became more affordable.
Not even going to touch the “I couldn’t understand economic heardship” aspect.
