Sharing is good, and with digital technology, sharing is easy. – Richard Stallman
I used ChatGPT a lot a few months ago and then I used it a bit less, and then I used it a little. And now I use it every once in a while.
I know – it can write stuff really fast – and sometimes that’s all you need. For those situations where no one cares it’s fine, it’ll do.
You can put the thing out there and it will do whatever it is you want.
But it’s not really that satisfying.
Perhaps this kind of stuff is going to become the Atkins diet for the mind. A little bit of meat may not kill you but a lot definitely will.
Anyway, I saw on a post that Facebook is open sourcing its AI code because Zuckerberg thinks that it will make hackers and programmers like it more and be more likely to engage and use it.
I think he is right.
I’d rather learn how to use LLaMA than be dependent on a closed system.
I’d sleep much happier knowing that there is infrastructure that can be accessed by everyone.
But really, I’d much rather pick up a book and learn that way.
But perhaps that’s just hopelessly old fashioned.
