I'll be glad for open models when the day (inevitably) comes that the proprietary LLMs no longer work in my interests.

> LLMs no longer work in my interests

As articles like these show, cloud-based LLMs don't work in your interest today.

  • Is it in someone's best interest to let them die in a shootout?

    • Level 1:

      Have you ever thought of doing something you wouldn't be proud of, and then not actually acted on that thought?

      If so, or if you can imagine a journal or always-listening assistant hearing your muttering thought. Should you be charged with a crime for that? Who is the victim and what are the damages?

      Level 2, the slippery slope:

      Suppose you travel to a country where your sexual orientation is illegal. If your AI company or social media provider knows your orientation, should they be compelled to reveal your crime? Why or why not?

    • For them to die in the shootout, you have to assume there was actual intent to execute said shooting.

Unless it becomes a requirement to be licensed to be able to use any kind of ai model. You know, for safety and stuff. And of course with appropriate reporting to institutions.
