Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

They've been doing orders of magnitude better in recent years, I'm never thrilled about aggressive vertical integration but of all the massive corporations Microsoft is pretty high up on my personal list for trust (which yeah is a pretty low bar compared to Amazon/Google/etc)
Did you read about how they’re trying to buy Nintendo and all the meddling they’ve done there?

got any other articles? that one doesn't make it out to be all that bad
"Without that catalyst, I don't see an angle to a near term mutually agreeable merger of Nintendo and MS and I don't think a hostile action would be a good move, so we are playing the long game."
doesn't sound like meddling to me, just wanting to mutually merge, and who wouldn't want that as a CEO lol
Yea that wasn’t the best article. I thought it had more of the email in it.
This article has the whole email screenshot: https://www.ign.com/articles/leaked-microsoft-email-reveals-xbox-boss-phil-spencer-really-wants-to-buy-nintendo
