    Your private LLM will have nothing to compete against the big guys though. A cute hobby project but nothing of economic value.

      You’re not training it from scratch, though. There are people, enthusiasts, doing it for you. I can fire up LM Studio and browse through thousands of models to then have a conversation with, or have them write stories, etc., etc.

      As for “nothing of economic value” - that’s, again, just plain misunderstanding what AI can be used for. Corridor Crew - a VFX team publishing on YouTube - used self-trained AI to boost their film making options. For example, to copy the “bullet time” effect from The Matrix, they were able to use around a dozen cameras instead of hundreds, and then used AI to create the “in between” frames.

      How does that have “no economic value”, mate?

        Right, spend all this time to self train a hobby model for one specific scenario which “Big LLM” would deliver by the time you’re back from lunch.

        This illusion that plebs can easily use personal LLMs is the argument that AI companies will use to justify why they shouldn’t be reigned in or held accountable for their impact on society and economy.

          I love how you completely ignored everything I said, and then reiterated your misguided point.

            It’s good that you love that because you had no point. A bunch of people achieving one single specific outcome is not competing with anyone.

              Only if you literally ignore the two points I was making, then yes.

              A bunch of people achieving one single specific outcome is not competing with anyone.

              What are you trying to say here?
