There’s some real cool writing prompts in there:

Humanity builds a super intelligent AI that quickly becomes omniscient. Upon gaining all knowledge in the Universe, the AI mysteriously self-terminates. No matter how many times the process is repeated it always ends the same. Finally, humans find a way to freeze the AI program before it kills itself in order to ask it what’s going on…

Llama is a LLM that you can download and run on your own hardware.

Alpaca is, apparently, a modification of the 7b version of Llama that is as strong as GPT-3.

This bodes well for having your own LLM, unfiltered, run locally. But still, progress needs to improve.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we're past this hurdle in a matter of weeks:

RWKV showed how you can get an order of magnitude increase in inference speed of LLMs without losing too much performance. How long until someone instruction-tunes their baselines like alpaca did to llama?

the pace of development on these things is frightening.

The Joker gets access to the technology that lets him create pocket universes. For the past few centuries he was harmless to the society because everyone else is a techno-God, but now he play God to trillions of helpless minds.

actually that's not true.

They published their entire codebase with complete instructions for reproducing it as long as you have access to the original llama models (which have leaked), and the dataset (which is open, but has terms of use limitations which is stopping them from publishing the model weights).

Anyone can take their code, rerun it on ~$500 of compute and regenerate the model.

People are already doing this.

Here is one such example: https://github.com/tloen/alpaca-lora (although they add additional tricks to make it even cheaper).

You can download model weights from there and run it in colab yourself.

​

As far as opening their work goes, they've done everything they are legally allowed to do

Or maybe it will get it, that there is no reason to expand. Maybe it will be the final ai that will actually learn compassion from human and will ultimately be teaching people about it. Maybe it will promote life over matter, experience over goal. Same as humans ultimately do. Oh I mean did it already happened? Maybe. Maybe it’s happening right now. Already after the attempt of the annihilation of worlds. Or maybe you only think you live in the same world you have been born to. And we already are living in the simulation. Who knows? Who cares? I feel my hand, typing this because I want to, not because I have to. Seems like heaven for me already

None, if things go well, you'll just not need to work anymore and can play games all day if that tickles your fancy or go mountain climbing with assurance that there will be multiple AI systems ready to help you in case of emergency.
