This is very good, local models run well on my M3 Air 24GB, to the point where I may prefer it even if it takes longer. The benefits are
- private
- local
- no internet required
- works well enough for most tasks
- "free"
- will pop this "AI" bubble as word spreads
I got pretty good results with the model in the article on my machine. Sure, it took forever, but that doesn't matter to me as much, and it's kind of cool just watching it do its thing through LM studio. The result was also impressive enough for me that I would actually use it.
If you have respect for the unique chance of conscious experience of others you get your moral system rather trivially from the first principles. Certainly not worse than an arbitrary religious stick and carrot system.
When I tried to use it as an AI CEO and Life Coach, it never was able to discern time passing, what I've already done, what needed to be done. It just said the same stuff over and over, stuff I've already done. That and it's kind of stuck in the era it was trained in. If it felt time passing like a human maybe it would be conscious?
Nevertheless not having a sense of time makes it really bad at planning anything. I used Gemini Pro.
There's no need to "estimate" it. "Time" is not something built into training and sampling a generative distribution. He might as well have told you your Naive Bayes email filters will measure time passed.
I'm a fullstack web developer. I'm comfortable on Windows, MacOS, and Linux environments, my current daily driver at home is MacOS and at work I was using Windows. I also play and create music as a hobby to avoid burnout.
