"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...

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...

I keep seeing AI startups run by independent devs all the time. So many new ones. They are asking for tens of thousands to have an AI agent or bot do 90% of everything. You talk via voice to a bot, a bot does all the work... No employees. How will these work and survive? Seems like they're a dime a dozen? submitted by /u/datascientist933633 [link] [comments]

I just need to get this off my chest. Everyone talks about AI like it’s magic, but all I see is water, power, and land getting eaten up. These “data centers” are basically digital factories — they run 24/7, sucking up the same grid and water supply that regular people depend on. Our bills go up, and we’re told it’s progress. Farmers? They didn’t quit. They planted, harvested, and got crushed by tariffs. Crops sat unsold, land got cheap, and billionaires swooped in to buy it. And now they own not just the land, but the future food supply. It feels like no matter how hard regular people work, we’re paying the bill for someone else’s empire. And the politicians we’re supposed to trust? They’re busy pointing fingers left and right while the middle gets squeezed from both ends. I don’t know wha...
