Woohoo new version of @huggingface PEFT just dropped! 😀 Here's why you want it (this is a 13B model):

Building open-source server rigs: construction and assembly tutorials

How did you go about building this? – Are there tutorials online that explain how to put it together? I've built lots of regular boxed servers and workstations, but I feel like these open rigs require some different approaches…

I very much doubt anyone is paying them for this. Certainly all my work in the field is as an unpaid volunteer. There's piles of money available on the other side, so anyone in this for $$$ should focus there.

Openness and Transparency as AI Risk Mitigation Strategies

Other things could *also* mitigate those harms. But openness, transparency, and broad access do seem likely to be helpful towards mitigation. You could quite reasonably argue that some firms today are "openness-washing" – but that doesn't make the statement wrong either AFAICT.

I don't think the statement has that premise – the "alone" you added doesn't appear there, and totally changes the meaning. The statement merely says that a reason to "to embrace openness, transparency, and broad access" is to "mitigate current and future harms".

Not knowing forces you to consider the argument and data directly, rather than using credentials as a proxy. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I don't know who @1a3orn is, but I have noticed previously that their writing, analysis, and research is v high quality.

This doesn't explain why they're targeting open source so aggressively.

I think personal liability (not just corporate liability) is much much safer than licensing and similar regulatory capture mechanisms.

R&D Risk Assessment and Concentration in AI Development

By

I already believe R&D can be high risk, at least under some definition of that term. What makes you think I believe otherwise? (I've repeatedly pointed out that it's likely much *more* high risk if this is highly concentrated.)
