I heard google is shifting to per-token subscription models that are much more expensive, and other AI are changing their pricing models too?

Wouldn’t that still eventually allow for an era(s) of monetizing token usage for universal applications? Even if it gets better over time and continuously replaces itself over decades

I wonder if it’s just a matter of time though.

Remember how computers used to be as big as a room and even then only stored 2mbs back when they were new? But then became more portable and accessible? It makes me wonder if, in a few decades, it’d be possible that happens with data centers in the future.

I don’t click on links because the articles are almost always clickbait with walls of irrelevant fluff text, generally.

Thanks for the conclusion at end cause I didn’t get the stuff above it lol.

Good to hear.

Any more on the “when”?

Would like to see it pop already.

Summary of the article, why and how?

Can someone explain the two claims made in the title, in summary?

Anything but universal health care and affordable rent innit?

Generational issue, likely, I’m afraid.

Huggingface isn’t really user-friendly for the non-tech guy. It’d be nice if you could just download them and import them into something that has a user friendly UI

The title is clickbait. The article does not mention the name of any free, private AI models.

It mentions heretic as a tool of abliteration (removes guardrails).

The rest of the article is just waffling about security concerns nobody cares about (at least, not those coming for the title anyway).

My proposition is to avoid making it seem that a provider is trustworthy when it isn’t.

Trusting a provider because you have to use one (and not because they are actually trustworthy) doesn’t seem appropriate. Either use it while knowing they’re not trustworthy, or don’t.

There’s a lack of good options right now to my knowledge. It seems that startpage may be a viable option, although I’ve heard it pulls from Google’s search results. Though if it doesn’t have Google’s trackers I would still see that as a better option.

Rule of thumb is to not take their word as gospel. All social media also present themselves as being concerned about your privacy when they are anything but.

Search engine ad set-ups include trackers typically.

Think microslop doesn’t track you? Think again.

That’s terrible. Not a win for the economy at all then

upon searching I appear to be mistaken (?).

What’s this, a taste of our own medicine???

“tw*t” is a derogative term for trans people

like how “f*g” is a degorative term for gay men.

It’s a slur.

What’s a K shaped economy?

That’s a transphobic slur.
