Technological development and the future of our civilization is in control of a handful of idiots.

Ollama and stable diffusion are free open source software. Nobody is forcing anybody to use chatGPT

[–] afk_strats@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ollama is FOSS, SD has a proproprietary but permissive, source-available license, but it is not what most people would associate with "open-source"

I don't really agree that this is the biggest issue, for me the biggest issue is power consumption.

[–] CitricBase@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn't intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.

The AI companies don't seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn't they, when power is so cheap.

He's not wrong.

Reading the other comments, it seems there are more than one problem with AI. Probably even some perks as well.

Shucks, another one or these complex issues huh. Weird how everything you learn something about turns out to have these nuances to them.

[–] C45513@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

most of the replies can be summarized as "the biggest problem with AI is that we live under capitalism"

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Why is this message not being drilled into the heads of everyone. Sam Altman go to prison or publish your stolen weights.
