sfgifz comments on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead

Your private LLM will have nothing to compete against the big guys though. A cute hobby project but nothing of economic value.

You're not training it from scratch, though. There are people, enthusiasts, doing it for you. I can fire up LM Studio and browse through thousands of models to then have a conversation with, or have them write stories, etc., etc.

As for "nothing of economic value" - that's, again, just plain misunderstanding what AI can be used for. Corridor Crew - a VFX team publishing on YouTube - used self-trained AI to boost their film making options. For example, to copy the "bullet time" effect from The Matrix, they were able to use around a dozen cameras instead of hundreds, and then used AI to create the "in between" frames.

How does that have "no economic value", mate?

Right, spend all this time to self train a hobby model for one specific scenario which "Big LLM" would deliver by the time you're back from lunch.

This illusion that plebs can easily use personal LLMs is the argument that AI companies will use to justify why they shouldn't be reigned in or held accountable for their impact on society and economy.
