Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Well - yes - I should maybe stipulate competitive hierarchy.
Though I would tend to argue that hereditary hierarchy is relatively likely to go the same way, if for different reasons. The problem there isn't that sociopaths and psychopaths win, since there is no competition forcthem to win.. Instead the problem is that they're bred by drawing from a pool that's provileged and shielded from harsh realities and eventually entirely lises touch with thecrest of humanity.
If I had my way about it, we'd have Athenian democracy starting this very moment. Even with the very real threat of poor choices being made by random assortments of assholes, idiots and lunatics, it still could not possibly be worse than government by people eager to sell their influence and people eager to buy it.
