So, interesting times where only 54 weeks ago, OpenAI devs shocked
the world with the release of ChatGPT 3.x, and now devs in the field
are being shocked by open sourced (Apache licensed) AIs.

the time between the world being shocked is becoming shorter
as the singularity approaches :)

I am waiting for the arrival of Singularia https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7266

I am more worried that some idiot human will ask an AI for the DNA to a virus that will kill all Christians or Jews or Muslims, and get a virus that kills all humans.

open source models are very cool and deserve broad support. Also
interesting is hardware growth, the h100 with almost 15k cuda cores
(more than twice that of a100) and then AMD with open source ROCm
as machine learning becomes more mainstream, more hardware, faster
hardware and close vs open in that arena is also something interesting
to watch. What actually is or will be 'ai' is also interesting to watch :)

It is crazy the amount of new stuff showing up every day now.
It is clear that hugingface is the place to watch.
