Can't talk for models in the range of ~100 GiB, but 32 GB ones are extremely basic.

This is actually a recurring pattern among technology maximalists: pushing technology as the solution to every problem, without recognizing that some problems are human in nature, rather than technological.

In order to understand the rational argument, one needs to follow closely the latest developments of misaligned AI (I think only few are doing so). The most important readings IMO are the METR analysis of the HuggingFace incident and the AI

Long term, humanity is 100% guaranteed to be dominated. The question is when; currently, AI has no physical hosts to reside in, and it's not intelligent/adaptable enough (it doesn't need to be AGI, though). However, we'r

It is true that, currently, AI does not have any physical "host" in which to reside. However, the missing link in this reasoning is that AI will almost certainly become far more widely deployed in the future than it is today, and

All the progress up to now has had one thing in common: the degree of understanding and control that humans have. Even when it comes to global warming, we understand the causes and can act on them. AI is an exception. We're already los

Astra is the only model that correctly depicts occlusion of crank and leg, although interestingly, at max and medium levels (not in between).

Difficult to asses whether it's overall a good or bad thing, but operatively speaking, WSL basically makes any machine a working Linux machine. The year of the linux machine arrived :)
