Bigshrimp AI is allowing for software tools that no one could have imagined before. All powered by human language that it's coded with and backed by immense hardware capabilities. It's basically a way of building any tool (good or bad) you want that can allow you to force your way through encryptions and other sensitive infrastructure. It's great for tracking and surveillance, and so much more crazy stuff. It's definitely not something you want bad actors to have their hands on as it develops even more, all to our detriment. It's only going to do more damage as we don't have the needed regulations to stop some of the things coming until it's too late… Reply

It's only going to do more damage as we don't have the needed regulations to stop some of the things coming until it's too late… Regulations won't stop open models from countries the US can't regulate. The real danger comes when trillion+ parameter models are capable of running using consumer tech. Just like we traded mp3's in the 90s, dvd rips in the 2000s … the future will be trading open weight models. A 1 trillion parameter model would take up about; 2 terabytes of ram with 16 bit precision 1 terabyte of ram with 8 bit precision and you guessed it 512 gigabytes of ram with 4 bit precision 512 gigabytes of ram may be out of the question for all but the most devoted of power users (with Xeons or Threadrippers) … but i remember feeling pretty good with an Athlon XP 2200+ with 128 megabytes of ram and a TNT2 around 2000. We've come a long way since then and I now have 512 times that amount of ram in my primary gaming computer. The price of ram is actually what is stopping the floodgates from opening. Was going to make a Thanos pun but this is even more unsettling … https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR6N2N-JsM2uI67KhV-FPTCKAHhl4ZcATRfSvXofizsGaqSiIRvSX8ngOA&s=10 Reply
bit_user I'm starting to think really hard about whether I should switch to browsing the web from something like an immutable Linux image on an isolated subnet. This stuff is getting pretty scary! Reply
