Imagine the existential horror of finding out you’re an AI inside Minecraft

"I built a small language model in Minecraft using no command blocks or datapacks! The model has 5,087,280 parameters, trained in Python on the TinyChat dataset of basic English conversations. It has an embedding dimension of 240, vocabulary of 1920 tokens, and consists of 6 layers. The context window size is 64 tokens, which is enough for (very) short conversations. Most weights were quantized to 8 bits, although the embedding and LayerNorm weights are stored at 18 and 24 bits respectively. The quantized weights are linked below; they are split into hundreds of files corresponding to the separate sections of ROM in the build. The build occupies a volume of 1020x260x1656 blocks. Due to its immense size, the Distant Horizons mod was used to capture footage of the whole build; this res...

The Update on GPT5 Reminds Us, Again & the Hard Way, the Risks of Using Closed AI

Many users feel, very strongly, disrespected by the recent changes, and rightly so. Even if OpenAI's rationale is user safety or avoiding lawsuits, the fact remains: what people purchased has now been silently replaced with an inferior version, without notice or consent. And OpenAI, as well as other closed AI providers, can take a step further next time if they want. Imagine asking their models to check the grammar of a post criticizing them, only to have your words subtly altered to soften the message. Closed AI Giants tilt the power balance heavily when so many users and firms are reliant on & deeply integrated with them. This is especially true for individuals and SMEs, who have limited negotiating power. For you, Open Source AI is worth serious consideration. Below you have a...
