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.

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.
The one that goes through my mind is: A space alien comes to earth and lands. And we run up to the S.A. and say "Thank God you're here! You've got to help us. We got this message from space? And we decoded it? And it was the plans for a giant computer? And we built it? and turned it on? And it took over the world and made us all its slaves? And it's cruel and our lives are horrible and you've got to do something!!" So the space alien says "Well, let's see the message." And it reads the message and says "This is a recipe for butterscotch chip muffins. What have you been doing?"
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.
