You sure you linked to the right song? Have you gone through the kind of existential crisis portrayed in that song? I always saw you as being cautiously optimistic about AI, that it can be a useful tool if used well, but not making us redundant.
@matt @forrestbrazeal I've not felt the anger personally, because I've been releasing open source code for 20+ years so I already default to "I want people to be able to reuse my work as much as possible" - but I absolutely understand the people who ARE angry

About running models locally, I've experimented with that, but large context windows take up lots of RAM, right? Like, isn't it O(n^2) where n is the number of tokens? Or do you not depend on large context windows?
@glyph Yeah. Today I went down a rabbit hole looking into what it would take to reproducibly, deterministically build some video assets for a little side project I did. It reminded me of how some hard-core free software folks, particularly the GNU Guix developers, have been working on bootstrapping a whole OS with minimal dependence on existing binaries. We're never getting that for these big models.
@matt @glyph the models I can run in my laptop today are leagues ahead of the models I ran on the exact same hardware a year ago - improvements in that space have been significant

In Wales, if you want a bwca or bwbachod (a goblin who cleans your home), then leave out a cup of cream each night (or better yet, a cup of ale). However, bwcas hate teetotalers. If you refuse to drink alcohol, they may kick you or throw your plates at you.

Ongoing discussion, but it looks like Bitwarden may be starting to make moves towards no longer being open source:
github.com/bitwarden/clients/i…
Previous issues opened against the SDK have been met with replies that suggest they have no intention of reconsidering the licensing decision:

This: #antiracist vs "not racist".
If you want to start on that education, I really recommend reading "So You Want To Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo.
I've previously recommended "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo, which was good as an initial bridge - a white person talking to white people why they should care to be antiracist. But she's since turned that into a whole white savior consultant business, which is gross.
Ijeoma Oluo though? Her words as another woman of color _gave me breathing space_. She wrote all the things that I'm too exhausted to bring up with my white friends anymore. She wrote that, so the rest of us BIPOC don't have to anymore - it's a book of empowerment like that, in a big way.
And this is why I implore everyone to read that book, even if you need "White Fragility" as a stepping stone first.
#Bitwarden is no longer free software.
The new code introduces a dependency on @bitwarden/sdk-internal, whose license explicitly states that it can’t be used by any software other than Bitwarden.
That violates the freedom 0 of free software (I can do whatever I want with the source code as long as my output is also free and open).
This seems to be part of a long strategy from Bitwarden to gradually pull the rug under their “free and open” principles and turn the product into a closed product after gaining sufficient market share.
And it’s a reminder that open projects maintained by companies should never, ever, ever be trusted.
In my case I already moved to Vaultwarden a while ago. I had a hunch that Bitwarden was going in this direction, plus running 15 .NET containers on my box just to run a password manager seemed pure insanity to me.
I advise everyone to move away from Bitwarden too before it’s too late.
