OpenAI chief goes before US Congress to propose licenses for building AI

That would make the regulations fairly pointless unless you think only mega-corps will ever be able to afford the compute for these things.

Compute continues to get cheaper and cheaper. We have not hit the physics wall yet on that.

That and if someone cracks efficient distributed training in a swarm type configuration then you could train models Seti@Home style. Lots of people would be happy to leave a gaming PC on to help create open source LLMs. The data requirements might be big but I just got gigabit fiber installed in my house so that barrier is vanishing too.

The other day someone offered up their 200x GPU crypto mining cluster to train uncensored models after the incident on HuggingFace where someone threatened to get the uploader of the uncensored models fired citing safety issues.

That’s bizarre, what is unsafe about an uncensored LLM? Or I guess the same question in a different way, how does censoring an LLM make it safe?

That individual in particular was pushing some left-wing talking points.

Though the other day Yuval Noah Harari gave a great talk on the potential threat to democracy - https://youtu.be/LWiM-LuRe6w
