y0eswddl··on Ask HN: What is the long term purpose of Google releasing free offline models?
I think it's about convention and adoption - "first taste is free" to get as many ppl as possible accustomed (read: addicted) to using GenAI. Plus most majors are currently releasing open weight models.

...but i suspect few to none will continue releasing free and open models when they start cutting too deeply into token profits.

We'll likely see smaller open models, but few who have the resources to train large, frontier sized models will want to do so for free... maybe China, but they're also a dubious choice for many.

y0eswddl··on Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?

y0eswddl··on Uber president says AI spending is getting 'harder to justify'
because the tech industry is at a hole is out of creative ideas. That why ever seen so many hype cycles since the end of zirp - and why the only innovation we're seeing is on ways to squeeze more money out of people. and AI was sold as a salary cutting magical money machine... AKA one more hype to jump on.

except this one a isn't making anyone rich besides Nvidia

y0eswddl··on The last six months in LLMs in five minutes
I'm beginning to get the sense that Sturgeon's Law is at play here and the non-crap 10% of us are arguing with the 90% for whom LLM's shitty output is actually better than what they could do on their own.

I've been lucky enough to work at places with majority intelligent engineers with similar tastes on quality to my own... but it seems to be that's not the norm or the case everywhere.

and it's the 90% that's most vocal. Sturgeon and D-K seen to go hand-in-hand.

why is it that you give a pass to the violence and death in the dozens, hundreds, thousands and millions at the hands of billionaires who regularly kill for profit...

The West steals $10-$12 Trillion/yr in embodied raw material equivalents, embodied land, embodied energy, and embodied labour:

>The economic growth and so-called advanced economies (think Germany, The U.S, Japan, etc. What's been referred to as the “Global North”) relies by a large proportion on a significant net appropriation of resources and labor from the “Global South” (think Kenya, Peru, the Philippines, etc). This appropriation reaches astronomical levels. In 2015 alone, the north appropriated 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents, 822 million hectares of embodied land, 21 exajoules of embodied energy, and 188 million person-years of embodied labor; worth [a total] $10.8 Trillion in northern prices. Enough to end extreme poverty 70x over.
