Hopefully this stuff pans out. I’d love see it happen.

Give it a year and we’ll see. These things are improving at an incredible pace, and costs continue to go down as well. Things you needed to have a data center to do just a year ago can now be done on a laptop.

My whole point throughout this discussion has been that whether LLM was used to edit this or not is entirely uninteresting. Meanwhile, it depends on what instance of Lemmy you’re on. Perhaps in the bubbles you frequent, most people are obsessing over genAI. My experience is that people are fairly split on the subject. What I personally find tiresome is people derailing conversations away from interesting subjects to endlessly discuss whether something is AI or not. It’s just noise at this point, and people really need to find a new hobby.

LoRA’s are actually really cheap and fast to make. That article I linked explains how it literally took 2 bucks to do. I don’t really think anything is getting worse forever. Things are just changing, and that’s one constant in the world.

And I’m saying that doesn’t follow at all. In fact, accuracy could be the only thing the author cares about, so he can read over and make sure there are no factual mistakes leaving the generated style as is. It’s honestly just so tiring having threads derailed by this endless perseveration people are doing over things being LLM generated. This is the world we live in now.

Also, it’s kinda weird to immediately claim that people disagreeing with you have to be alts or something. Like you really can’t conceive of your opinion not being dominant?

You know you can just not read an article and move on. But if you’re going to argue about accuracy of the article then you kinda have to at least show an example of it being inaccurate. The reality is that there’s been plenty terrible and hard to read articles written long before LLMs were a thing, and this one is far from the worst I’ve seen. It seems to me that you’re just bothered that an LLM was used to put the text together.

I read these articles for the content, and I find news writing has been terrible long before LLMs. At least this way it’s written closer to just being a summary that you can scan through easily. You’ll be glad to know that people are working on stuff like this already, so LLM generated content is going to read very much like traditional human written content before long. https://muratcankoylan.com/projects/gertrude-stein-style-training/

If you want to point out specific inaccuracies in the article then please go ahead and do that.

You might as well get used to it, LLMs are a tool that’s in wide use and it’s delusional to think that news sites will not use be using them. Personally, I absolutely do not care if the text was formatted by AI, as long as the content is factual.

This is existing high performance hardware that you can buy. I’d love for there to be something equivalent built using RISCV, but there’s not.

I haven’t actually tried that. I got it running on my M1, but only used it with the laptop screen.

My view is that all corps are slimy, some are just more blatant about it than others. I do agree that Apple stuff tends to be overpriced, and I’ve love to see somebody else offer a similar architecture using RISCV that would target Linux. I’m kind of hoping some Chinese vendors will start doing that at some point. What Apple did with their architecture is pretty clever, but it’s not magic and now that we know how and why it works, seems like it would make sense for somebody else to do something similar.

The big roadblock in the west is the fact that Windows has a huge market share, and the market for Linux users is just too small for a hardware vendor to target without having Windows support. But in China, there’s an active push to get off US tech stack, and that means Windows doesn’t have the same relevance there.

Exactly, and there is already some work happening in that regard. This project is focusing on making a high performance RISCV architecture https://github.com/OpenXiangShan/XiangShan

I really hope the project doesn’t die, they had some people leave recently and there was some drama over that. Apple hardware is really nice, and with Linux it would be strictly superior to macos which is just bloated garbage at this point. I’m also hoping we’ll see somebody else make a similar architecture to M series using ARM or RISCV targeting Linux. Maybe we’ll see some Chinese vendors go RISCV route in the future.

In terms of functionality, it works well. The main limitation is software availability. If you rely on anything that can’t be built for the architecture then it’s not going to be a good daily driver.

It’s not an apples to apples comparison because the architecture is so different. Notice his observation in the article:

I am very impressed with how smooth and problem-free Asahi Linux is. It is incredibly responsive and feels even smoother than my Arch Linux desktop with a 16 core AMD Ryzen 7945HX and 64GB of RAM.

M1 architecture has a huge advantage being a SoC and having shared memory between the CPU and the GPU which avoids the need for a bus. I’m still using M1 macbook with 8gb of RAM that I got to keep at one of my jobs a few years ago, and it’s incredibly snappy. I’ve tried x86 laptops with way better specs on paper, and they don’t come anywhere close in practice.

British state propaganda upset that civilians are evacuated from the war zone. Shouldn’t be a surprise I suppose given that the UK is fully backing a genocide right now.

Same, there are a lot of tipping point that could end up being unlocked in the near future. The effects could be utterly disastrous. Interestingly, places like Cuba or DPRK might be best prepared because they’re largely self sufficient. China and Russia are likely in a good position as well because they have end to end domestic supply chains. The countries that will be most affected are the ones that leaned in heavily into globalization and allowed their industries to become gutted. As supply chain disruptions due to climate disasters start becoming a common place occurrence, all these fragile just-in-time supply chains are going to crumble.
