Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

RAM constraints make phone running difficult. As do the more restricted quantization schemes NPUs require. 1B-8B LLMs are shockingly good backed with RAG, but still kind of limited.

It seemed like Bitnet would solve all that, but the big model trainers have ignored it, unfortunately. Or at least not told anyone about their experiments with it.

M$ are dragging their feet with BITNET for sure and no one else seems to be cooking. They were meant to have released 8b and 70b models by now (according to source files in repo). Here's hoping.
