The difference is that we’ll just be running small, specialized, on-demand models instead of huge, resource-heavy, all-purpose models. It’s already being done. Just look at how Google and Apple are approaching AI on mobile devices. You don’t need a lot of power for that, just plenty of storage.

There’s no need for huge, expensive datacenters when we can run everything on our own devices. SLMs and local AI is the future.

This reminds me of some stuff in Charles Stross’ Accelerando. The book mentions how AI was rapidly filing patents and lawsuits and all this stuff by itself constantly. It was terrifying as a fictional idea, but here we are, it’s real.

“…illegal protest…”?

Oh right, the US Constitution doesn’t exist any more.

Next, they should ban hate speech from their own forums.

Just stay far, far away from their forums.
