    Since it’s already a Pandora’s box as it is, at least open-source is the least-worst way to go. All closed-source models are evil(er).

      Open source is much less useful with AI though since you can neither inspect how it works exactly nor modify that one thing that bothers you about the current behavior.

        That’s increasingly untrue as we build tools to inspect and modify those weights. Nearly every open model has homegrown LoRA support, and most of them have abliteration code that lets you erase undesirable behaviors.

        While it’s still somewhat of a blackbox, some definitions of “open source AI” are better than others

        opensource.org/ai

        The OSI one is decent

    So the cyberpunk lore is true, we’ll have to flee our current internet for a new one soon, neat.

    I’m not sure who I trust less with an army of AI robots, a capitalist private enterprise or the general public. Both sound problematic.

      Definitely capitalist private enterprise is less trustworthy, and it’s not even close.
