(LLM) A language model built for the public good

  I’m sure the community will find something to hate about this as well, since this isn’t an article about an LLM failing at something.

    Gigantic hater of all things LLM or "AI" here.

    The only genuine contribution I can think of that LLMs have made to society is their translation capabilities. So even I can see how a fully open source model with "multilingual fluency in over 1,000 languages" could be potentially useful.

    And even if it is all a scam, if this prevents people from sending money to China or the US as they are falling for the scam, I guess that's also a good thing.

      i hear there are cool advances in medicine, engineering and such. i imagine techbros have an exponentially bigger budget, though.

    Llms are useful for inspiration, light research, etc.

    They should never be used as part of a finished product or as the main scaffolding.

      Honestly they are pretty good for research too. You can’t imagine the amount of obscure shit that my ChatGPT has surfaced when I bounce ideas on it. But yea it’s terrible in finished products, I think everyone knows that and in a year or two if they don’t improve I expect we will be back to shoving it behind the scenes as had been done before ChatGPT. It’s for the best.

    According to the article, they’ve even addressed my environmental concerns. Since it’s created by universities, I don’t think we’ll even have this shoved down our throats all the time.

    I doubt whether it will be more useful than any other general LLM so far but hate it? Nah.
