@MudMan

I think this is an interesting topic

This comment from an old Reddit post seems to contain some knowledge, imo

As noted in that comment, in reading Goethe’s Faust I remember distinctly that line, ERITUS SICUT DEUS, SCIENTES BONUM ET MALUM.

Something about its oldness, religiosity and simplicity make it magical to me

@ssorbom @PP_BOY_ Banning porn would probably cause a lot of growth in porn over Tor / ActivityPub though. So that’d be a positive that would come from such a situation.

@wahming I’ve only read a little but it’s very well written. I apologize if I came off rude. I was just surprised.

I definitely am swayed by the discussion, FTR

@wahming @AllenSmithee Press X for Doubt.

If you had said sugar is not *solely* to blame I might consider that thesis but pretending as though sugar is not a core part of the problem is… an interesting take, which I do not believe.

What are slimemold’s credentials? Do they cite research? Just curious. This non-HTTPs website seems like a dubious source to me. But I might be wrong. That is a cursory judgement.

Will check out if there’s any research cited that promotes that thesis

@dartos @Awoo what about capitalism made it great ? It was the people that made it great imo it just came to be under capitalism

So interesting to me when I see this opinion. May I ask, are you American?

I am American and feel as though I’ve seen an uptick of people feeling this way.

@s1ndr0m3 @Ryan213 And displaying no faith in it being a successful business model at a reasonable price.

@Aurenkin @igalmarino Well we’ll still have soccer players

@lily33 like Github, HuggingFace is a private company that can host public models. I’m pretty sure this one is fully public. But you’re right that it does look like someone from HF started it so perhaps it does not meet your criteria after all. My apologies if so.

I was (am?) of the understanding though that Bloom is being researched openly such that it can be reproduced locally (and contributed to on HF)

@lily33 Yes. There are a number I believe that fit these criteria hosted on Hugging Face I feel. Bloom is the first one that came to mind.

Ironically I asked ChatGPT this question and it responded to check out EleutherAI. I do not know anything about that group but looks like they may have helped worked on Bloom, so maybe they are worthy of consideration. Anyway here is Bloom.
