A good blog post that makes some good points: Can I ethically use LLMs?
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club This was an interesting read for sure! š I donāt think it had anything I hadnāt already considered in terms of the ethical/moral points of view. Iām not sure where I stand myself either to be honest. Iāve forced myself to get familiar with the ecosystem and tooling, because in my line of work as a tech lead (staff engineer in sre) you donāt want to be that one guy that ya know š Ethically/Morally though, Iām definitely with the sentiment of this post š Much like the whole Crypto hype yaers back (if yāall remember?!) this is also one of the most energy hungry pieces of ātechā (if you can call it that?) in a while. Then thereās these other issues āstealing peopleās workā, āreliance is causing humans to become cognitively weak and neural connections to shrinkā, to name a fewā¦
@prologic@twtxt.net yep for sure. The part about concentrating too much power and reliance on the wealthy elite also resonated with me. Seems a good way to potentially end up in one of those dystopian futures you usually see in fictions where massive corporations have too much power and control over people.
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Yeah for sure! The thing that annoys me about a lot of this, is the sheer fact you canāt really self-host let alone self-train these things Iāve been playing around with AI at home over the past few months and building my own neural networks from scratch (in Go) with genetic algorithms on a few tasks and training sets, but man itās hardā¢ š¤£ I feel like weāre doing something wrong hereā¦

Oh, is that all š¤£
That sounds like some intensive āplaying aroundā haha
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Yeah well when you put it like that š¤£
