Open AI died the moment Meta’s Llama model weights were replicated completely open source. The outcome is guaranteed. It does not matter how much better the enormous proprietary model can be, people will never be okay with the level of intrusive data mining required for OpenAI or Google’s business model. Personal AI tech must be open source and transparent with offline execution. AI is the framework of a new digital economy, not the product.
I don't think it's as much that the meta model was replicated as much as they fully open sourced it with a license for research and commercial use.
I actually think the market demand will be fairly small for fully offline AI. The largest potential customers might be government who require full offline hosting, and there is a small group of companies servicing that niche. But even government customers who require that their data is segmented are simply having enclaves setup by the big cloud platforms where they guarantee that inputed data isn't fed into the training process and doesn't leave the customer environment.
I fully support folks who sustain open source AI frameworks, but in terms of commercial customers that will drive industry trends with dollars, I expect there will be demand for hosted solutions that use proprietary models.
The courts aren't going to side with copyright holders. As much as the US loves its ridiculous copyright laws it loves profit and being on the bleeding edge of tech more. There is absolutely ZERO chance that the United States will let China, who does not care about IP, carry the keys to the AI kingdom
Yeah, I was about to say, 99% of people are either unaware or do not care. Don’t mistake Lemmy’s privacy opinions as representative of the general population.
$700k/dsy. That's $260 million per year. There are 360 million paid seats of MS360. So they'd have to raise their prices $0.73 per year to cover the cost. No one will notice.
The Response:
OpenAI, the organization behind the development of AI models like GPT-3, has a few strategies to generate revenue:
Licensing and Subscription Models: OpenAI can license its AI models and technologies to businesses, developers, and organizations for various applications. This could involve offering different pricing tiers based on usage, features, and support.
API Access: OpenAI can offer access to its AI models through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Developers and companies can integrate these APIs into their products, applications, or services, paying for the amount of usage.
Customized Solutions: OpenAI can collaborate with specific industries or companies to develop customized AI solutions tailored to their needs. These solutions can range from customer support bots to content creation tools.
Premium Features: OpenAI could offer advanced features, improved performance, or specialized functionality as part of premium packages, enticing users to upgrade their subscriptions.
Partnerships and Collaborations: OpenAI can collaborate with other tech companies, research institutions, or industries to jointly develop and commercialize AI applications.
Consulting and Services: OpenAI could provide consulting services, training, and expertise in AI technology to help organizations integrate AI into their operations effectively.
Training and Workshops: OpenAI can offer training programs, workshops, and educational resources to help individuals and businesses better understand and utilize AI.
Data Services: OpenAI can offer datasets, annotations, and data-related services to researchers, businesses, and developers working on machine learning projects.
Vertical-Specific Solutions: Developing AI solutions tailored for specific industries, such as healthcare, finance, or marketing, and offering them as industry-specific packages.
Community Contributions: OpenAI can build a community around its AI models and offer a platform for users to share and monetize their own creations, benefiting from the broader ecosystem.
It’s important to note that OpenAI’s approach to generating revenue will likely be influenced by factors such as market demand, ethical considerations, user feedback, and the evolving landscape of AI technologies and regulations. OpenAI aims to strike a balance between generating revenue and advancing its mission of ensuring AI benefits all of humanity.
High interest rates baby. I noted this was happening when people were complaining about lowered quality because they were using less resource intensive operations.
According to the study, the chatbot’s responses have worsened despite OpenAI’s efforts to ship new features to the tool designed to improve its usability.
Not to mention the amount of money used to procure GPUs from companies like NVIDIA to ensure that things run seamlessly.
Aside from monetary issues, OpenAI is also experiencing a decline in the number of users that leverage its chatbot’s offerings.
OpenAI’s APIs have increasingly gained the interest of organizations initially opposed to the whole Artificial Intelligence idea and incorporating it into their workflows.
And while OpenAI continues to invest in the venture heavily, Altman has also expressed his concerns over safety measures to ensure that the tool doesn’t spiral out of control.
The FTC already launched an investigation into ChatGPT to determine whether the company has broken consumer protection laws.
Imagine they skip 12 and call it 13 like they did with W10
With as little sense as Microsoft makes most of the time, that decision actually does make sense. A lot of programs and scripts were lazy about checking the Windows version and just checked for the presence of a ‘9’ in the version string to determine if they were running on Windows 95/98.
A bunch of shit would have broken if they had released Windows 10 as Windows 9, which is what it should have been semantically.
I’m not talking that old programs can be run. I’m talking if you dig into the settings deep enough, a Windows 2000 looking screen will pop up out of nowhere.
It’s the same thing. Stuff relies on it. And some stuff is just there from laziness. The only Windows being reskinned is 10. That’s what 11 is underneath.
I mean control panel still is usable on windows 11. Control Panel has been there since 1985. The UI control panel uses now hasn’t really been changed since Windows 95. There are plenty of other screens like that too, like the hardware properties menus and stuff.
You can easily schedule it yourself but I wouldn’t. I have used sfc /scannow about 10 times. It did fix an issue once - a VM repeatedly locking up doing Windows updates.
I wish they would make their configuration better. At this point even MacOS easier in that regard. And that is saying something. I constantly find myself googling how to open the old configuration pages because it’s either impossible to find where some of the configuration options went or they don’t exist on the new UIs in the first place. It’s a real down grade. They are trying to go the MacOS route but stopped half way through. Windows 11 feels like a real downgrade compared to Windows 10.
I’m excited for CoD to not be a $70 gamble on whether or not the game is good. Like, 2019 was pretty good, 2020 was great, 2021 was bad, 2022 was bad, 2023 is most likely going to be bad, and 2024 is most likely going to finally be some good CoD again. It’d be real nice if I just had access to this via $15 subscription day one.
And speculative pipe dream hope: Activision has a load of currently unused IPs that I’d love to see Microsoft bring back.
As happy as I am with my steam deck I love to see competition. I love portables all the way back from my game boy, game gear, all the way through to the vita.
I hope this new wave of high powered portables keep pushing each other to their limits so we see the best in our hands.
So what are the hidden features? The article doesn’t say and I scrolled through all the comments and nothing popped out at me other than a bunch of comments of people bashing windows and sucking their own dicks over Linux?
The hidden features are flags that Microsoft enables or disables for random users as part of A/B testing. The article contains a link to the various flags that can be enabled depending on your edition and version of Windows.
Afaik it’s a tool to interact with an API to override A/B testing in an official way.
Apparantly some tool already exists that does it. Just not the official way.
