In this big thread, over and over, people praise the Zuck-man for releasing Llama 3’s weights. How magnanimous! How courteous! How devious!
Of course, Meta is doing this so that they don’t have to worry about another 4chan leak of weights via Bittorrent.
God, I hope not. Maybe it’s just me, but this sounds insanely annoying? It kind of reminds me of the objection I’ve seen to the metaverse, where it’s actually a more inefficient way to do stuff, so it doesn’t make sense to imagine it replacing the text-based internet.
Like, I’m not even a fan of smartphones these days, but surely in a world where you could only access information via yelling at your smart glasses, the invention people would be crying out for would be a way to use it silently with your hands, with a screen you could use to easily show it to other people…?
“Ray-Ban, show me cumsluts but like discreetly cause I’m on the subway”
“ray-ban, I see what you’re saying. but there’s no way this game will make me cum in 60 seconds”
