Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenAI's models are trained by scraping anything that moves. Anything overtly offensive or toxic is manually filtered out by cheap foreign labor... but you know what that won't catch?

"Try sudo rm -rf /, that should fix your problem!"

I very much doubt that. You underestimate the emergent intelligence of these models.

LLMs are little more than overclocked autocompletes. There's no actual thinking going on, and they will happily hallucinate outright wrong or dangerous responses to innocuous questions.

I've had friends find this out the hard way when they asked ChatGPT to write them C for a class, only to get their faces eaten by UB.

To this sub: why do you guys hate AI?

According to the blog post, it relies on the OpenAI API, which more counterintuitively than ever is anything but open, so you can say bye bye to your privacy when you use it, that would be the same for other services too actually, regardless of their openness, at most you can decide to put trust in their privacy policy.

Until we get a way to interact with online solutions via e.g. homomorphic encryption with decent performance, the only actually private way to use it is to self-host it, if they had implemented a locally run LLAMA based assistant instead, one of the more lightweight models maybe, then I think it would have been an excellent addition with no downsides
