    Mark Ruffalo said, and I quote, “You’re wouldn’t like me when I’m angry” but in this case if he is angry he remains quite agreeable. Typical Hollywood “say one thing but mean the other” bullshit.

        I’ve never used it before so I’m not happy but it seems like a crappy gimmick to make students use this.

          Yes. It is. This is how far the people who want to bring back company towns have gotten their claws into your education.

    Wouldn’t it make more sense to use free accounts to burn their money. Just ask the thing inane questions so it’s not worth data mining. Have it create the prompts, point it back at itself.

    For anyone who actually has a ChatGPT subscription and relies on it, there are lots of advantages to running open weights models instead, even if you don’t have the hardware for them yourself and need to go through some provider. The privacy angle I’m sure needs no explanation, but there’s also reliability to consider. With services like ChatGPT they change how it works in the background without telling you and without any real way to opt out, so if you have a workflow or even worse an application that uses its API, what worked in the past may not work the same in the future and you have zero control over it. For overall performance the closed models are still on top, but not by that much, open models are competitive and even stuff that will run on lower powered hardware is good enough for lots of things you might need it for. Personally I don’t need anything that won’t run on my 3090.

    I didn’t need another reason to boycott them. I was already doing that as they’re a tool to unravel our social fabric with no backup plan.

    Barnaclebutt wants you to boycott chatGPT because of RAM prices and anybody that’s really into AI is just another crypt-douchbag.

    The company that wants grandma’s social security checks gave $25 million to a billionaire.

    Cool business plan.
