    Are there any good ChatGPT alternatives that are not owned by a billionaire or tied to the government?

      I don’t think that we’re going to throw a little more hardware an one and it’s going to suddenly become an AGI, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have considerable utility.

      Also, there are a bunch of “composite” systems that have been built in AI research that use multiple mechanisms. Even if you’re off trying to do human-level AI, you may use components in that system that are not themselves fully-capable of acting in such a way.

      Like, okay. Think of our own minds. We’ve got a bunch of hard-coded vision stuff, which is part of why we can get weird optical illusions. Our visual processing system isn’t an intelligence on its own, but it’s an important part of letting us function as humans in the world.

    It continues to fascinate me how self-proclaimed small-gov libertarians always find themselves making their money off of government.

        With EVs I think the criticism is valid. The government is selling them at a loss using slave labor and it’s impossible to compete with that. The rest I pretty much agree. There’s too much idiotic “traditionalism” here in the US that’s holding us back in many sectors while countries like China play the long game and will crush us in that area at some point in the future.

      Whatever happened to that guy who would include the Creative Commons license as a signature in every comment with the false belief that it would stop anyone from using them to train LLMs?
