Phase 1: Buying more GPU to increase the number of parameters in a LLM Phase 2: ??? Phase 3: AGI

AGI may come anywhere between next week, 1000 years in the future, or never. Anyone who claims to have any idea is full of shit, because we don't even know what problems we need to solve to get there. If we develop a good model of how human cognition works at a biological level, there is at least a direction, but that isn't going to be coming out of some AI hype factory with a datacenter full of H100's making videos of anthropomorphic cats working as pastry chefs.

That looks to be it although I am on my phone and it doesn't fit on my screen.

It's a neat idea although I don't see anything indicating it supports VST and I'm not sure if it is even possible in a browser app. I'd need that for it to be useful.

My hope would be that being open source would lead to decent information about how to use it. I have Bitwig but there isn't much documentation out there and a lot of it you have to pay extra for.

It's an interesting question though, that I haven't thought about. At a minimum I'd say that it should have some sort of coherent goals and philosophy, its own package repository, and should not be replicable from its parent distro with a script to install/remove various packages.

The last one is probably the most critical, if it can do something the base distro can't, then it at least has a reason to exist, whether or not you want to call it a "distro" or not.

Maybe it's more like Pogs.

If you don't know what's wrong with you, then a doctor is absolutely the way to go. But if you already have a diagnosis, you can go spend time researching it, the doctor isn't going to do that.

Way back in the day, I set up my grandpa with Slackware and FVWM. Yeah, I had to edit a configuration file to add a program - but that also meant that once I set it up, it would never break.

In any sort of IRL community, if some person decided they had the authority to prevent people from answering others' questions, unilaterally decide people aren't welcome, etc. everyone would think they had gone insane.

However there is the problem where any unmoderated public forum will eventually contain only scam artists and Nazis. Moderators address the Nazi spam problem, but now you have the moderator problem. It's been a mental side project of mine lately to find ways to solve the moderator problem, which I can't talk too much about as there is money to be made by doing so.

What happens when the forum gets overrun by Nazi spam? We'll install a set of moderators who remove it. But what happens when the moderators start removing useful information? We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the moderators. But aren't the snakes even worse? Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat. Then we're stuck with gorillas! No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

Still, it may find its place as a last resort.
