Should I make a generative "AI" that runs locally called "ShatBot", but is just a beefed up Markov/Eliza thing? :thonking:

cstanhope@social.coop ("Your weary 'net denizen") wrote:

With all this *sigh* ongoing LLM BS, I wonder how long until we get to a concept of copyright/pay it forward offsets. You know, copyright washing of some kind. "When you pay for a subscription to ShatBot AI, a portion of your fees goes to a fund that is used to pay royalties and support open projects and scholarships ."

Then later on, we find out all of it was lies, and the people that were supposed to get paid, if they get paid at all, end up with pennies and no scholarships were provided, but certain people definitely have more yachts, houses, and cars.

like... the cost of a single "state-of-the-art" llm training run would be a permanently institution-changing amount of money for your average computer science department (to say nothing of depts in CS-adjacent fields, especially in the arts and humanities). the claude mythos result, even if you take anthropopo's claims at face value (which: don't) seems indicative of this, like, yeah if you toss nine figures at security research, you're gonna find some exploits?

i guess fundamentally i'm not convinced that whatever amount useful functionality has emerged from generative AI (and i think the jury's still out on whether that amount is non-zero) couldn't have been achieved in more cost-effective, equitable and sustainable ways by having taken the money and resources we've shoveled into gen AI and investing them elsewhere

("sustainable" in the sense of environmentally sustainable but also "can we keep this in a working state" sustainable)

The music my brain keeps on as background noise has been flipping back and forth between an 80s song and a more recent song by Wet Leg and I think its staring to create a mashup. I wish I had the skills (and time) to figure out if it would actually sound okay outside my head. 😆

I love data challenges and this sounds like a great one from NASA, but I wonder what these competitions are like now in the age of vibe coding. Since it is human research, I sincerely hope they are looking for human solutions.

and for the record i'm not talking about making code to create art like a game or something. i'm saying *the code itself* can be art. a perfectly constructed api, a framework that fits together just so, when code comes together in a beautiful harmony, *that is art*, it requires artistry to create!

There is something deeply offputting about watching engineers who have made cool stuff in the before times desperately pleading with models not to make everything worse.

Arcanum: Phase 1 of an Open Source Conformal Method of Moments Antenna Modeling Software is Complete

The NEC input parsing and phase 1 (geometry) are finished and pass unit tests, with the work that the community has done so far. This is an excellent achievement, but it needs to stand up under the sort of testing and expectations that someone exactly like you, a person reading out of interest in open source wire antenna models, would demand. In other words, it better work for you too!

Before we start phase 2 (electrical analysis), now would be a good time for amateur radio enthusiasts to try cloning the repo, reading the CONTRIBUTING.md, and making sure that the development tools can be set up as described and that you can run the tests and examples. This needs to happen without unnecessary pain or blockers.

If you are up to giving it a shot and want to try this out, then it would make a very large difference. Why? Getting things right now pays off big later. Getting things right now means that the development environment and phase 1 results act right for you in the long term. It means that someone that does not have direct or insider knowledge of the design, and doesn’t have anything set up in advance, can directly benefit. If it works for you, and passes tests, then we have met a major milestone.

Try it out and let us know how it works for you. Interested in contributing to phase 2? Welcome aboard!

RE: https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/116424709251813699

if "like that" includes:
- enclosure of the commons in violation of copyright and licensing
- destroying the environment
- creating a massive economic bubble
- poisoning open source codebases
- rotting the brains of those who use it
- turning software development from a skill you can build into a utility you have to rent

then yeah, I'll unapologetically say "not like that"

period. no other mention is made of religion in the main body of the Constitution. Secretary Whiskey Pete should read this, as I think he may have been stoned or asleep that day in Middle School "civics" class.
