Open AI died the moment Meta's Llama model weights were replicated completely open source. The outcome is guaranteed. It does not matter how much better the enormous proprietary model can be, people will never be okay with the level of intrusive data mining required for OpenAI or Google's business model. Personal AI tech must be open source and transparent with offline execution. AI is the framework of a new digital economy, not the product.
Where do you meet these people? I need more of such people in my life.
Yeah, I was about to say, 99% of people are either unaware or do not care. Don't mistake Lemmy's privacy opinions as representative of the general population.
'People' in this respect are also the owners of media sites.
There's currently a meeting in Germany with about 4000 of them.
But it's not the prevailing mindset in the general population.
That is one interesting sentence. Thanks.
I don't think it's as much that the meta model was replicated as much as they fully open sourced it with a license for research and commercial use.
I actually think the market demand will be fairly small for fully offline AI. The largest potential customers might be government who require full offline hosting, and there is a small group of companies servicing that niche. But even government customers who require that their data is segmented are simply having enclaves setup by the big cloud platforms where they guarantee that inputed data isn't fed into the training process and doesn't leave the customer environment.
I fully support folks who sustain open source AI frameworks, but in terms of commercial customers that will drive industry trends with dollars, I expect there will be demand for hosted solutions that use proprietary models.
Yeah, but not models that are trained on data that raises copyright concerns, which is currently the case.
The courts aren't going to side with copyright holders. As much as the US loves its ridiculous copyright laws it loves profit and being on the bleeding edge of tech more. There is absolutely ZERO chance that the United States will let China, who does not care about IP, carry the keys to the AI kingdom
