Sure, but there is still a more dense talent pool with SV companies, and training frontier models requires massive amounts of capital. Are Netherlands and Sweden prepared to invest 10s of billions?
My impression is the talent pool for core model development in SV isn't huge and is already grabbed by the usual suspects. Everyone else sloshing in the vague broader AIsphere are application bros whose value in the supply chain is minimal.
Considering I got into a discussion with someone on this very forum who stated that maybe, yes, only Anthropic are reasonable and restrained enough to have access to these powerful models, it is in fact difficult to tell whats satire and whats not.
I've seen all of the parent's points made seriously over the last few weeks by various folks with AI hysteria.
If that was the only thing in the original message, then yes, but the very last comment about the IPO should have clued you in, among other things. But I get your point, there are a lot of people out there saying crazy ungrounded things.
Yeah I tried nix about 8 months ago. Not really as simple as homebrew. Even the detereminate nix tutorial though nice felt too much of a hassle. I feel homebrew really is a nice interface which is pretty close to conventional package manager, while nix even though the concept is revolutionary, felt lacking in user experience. Hope the documentation improves.
You are arguing with a straw man. Most are saying they should be explicit with the failure modes rather than fail silently. They aren't saying there should be no guardrails.
It's a 3 bit quant of Llama3-8B. I'm sure there are use-cases for that, but it's useless when it comes to tool calls or coding and I wouldn't trust it's factual accuracy either.

No idea. Sometime when it's not being hammered you can ask them ... it's not my instance.
And I don't know what my instance is running on ... I have a tech co-mod who deals with it. We have two rather grunty servers running the the cloud, that's all I know.
If you're genuinely interested, email me and I'll find out for you. Details in my profile.

From their "about" page:
Hello World! Welcome to mastodon@bauhaus, our small niche in the fediverse.
This server originated @maschinenraum, a small hackspace in Weimar. It is currently administrated and moderated by a small team via @admin.
We run our own server in a local data centre just down the road, so there's no cloud here – however, that also means if it breaks, it breaks. And it will happen every now and then, and there are backups, and it's mostly fine, but don't expect 100% uptime – 99% will have to do.
We're part of the Chaos family surrounding the Chaos Computer Club, so you can meet us at events like the C3 and get to know your admins!

Also, please don't use quotes to make it look like you're quoting someone when you aren't. That's an internet snark trope, and thus breaks the "Don't be snarky" guideline too.
It's mostly about X conspiracy theory turned out to be true, so the Y conspiracy must be true! The fact that it even has to be a conspiracy theory that later gets validated is what annoys me, asking questions is okay, claiming conspiracy as fact is not.
What is and isn't considered a conspiracy theory changes very rapidly. There are a lot of things that today are considered common sense that 10 years ago would be considered a fringe conspiracy theory.
People were smeared regularly for suggesting this less than a decade ago. You are being tripped up by recency bias since mainstream media started reporting on it.
I've heard very few if any "conspiracy theorists" talk about sexual blackmail because it's boring. The appeal of a conspiracy is that it grabs people's attention. And there are certain types of attention whores who will spout theories about flat earth, or fake moon landing, because it gets them instant attention and engagement. This is what I think the GP meant, that s/he hates that these people were "right" about politicians being compromised.
Why must all conspiracy theories be bucketed together as if it's a single entity and culture. Conspiracies are real and as old as time, and treating any analysis or discussion about them as part of a greater crackpot culture just acts as cover for real ones. In fact there is evidence that the CIA is behind some of the crackpot theories to muddy the water.
Do you blame them? If a global ring of elite pedophiles turned out to be true in spite of all the gaslighting and denial, then why couldn’t the moon landing also be a conspiracy?
Keep in mind that the elite class couldn’t give two shits what the peasant class thinks. In fact, having us believe in false conspiracies helps distract the masses from the true conspiracies :)
Astounding to watch the mental gymnastics at play.
It’s like how Israeli lobbying orgs state that “claiming Zionist orgs control the media is antisemitism”, and then the solution is literally “we should use our contacts & supporters in the media to stop this kind of rhetoric”. Beautiful.
