Yes, it is already developed. Nuclear bombs killed people, does not mean we should stop all research into fusion.
Me downloading the model does not light up a data center somewhere else. I run it on my local laptop.
No. No no no. It is still being developed, with exponentially increasing resources. You downloading the model adds at least 1 but probably 10 increment to the “downloads” and repo watches CEOs 100% use to validate their insane echo chamber. And you’re literally paying for it all if you live in US and they built a data center in your neighborhood and your electricity bill 4x increased! Or if you ever want to upgrade to ddr5, and ever need more storage space! Or in many other myriad of ways!
Generally, you’re right, it’s just the left over tools from the gold rush, why not use them if they’re useful! No point in throwing them away. It’s good that you’re honest with yourself and will never validate the wild amounts of cosmically ironic cancer-inducing data centers they (I hope only Musk) are operating, by upgrading your local model distilled by your unfavorite AI cloud company that is negative profit for 5 years and somehow still alive
Well, if I want to do anything worthwhile, I sure as fuck will have to at some point for the Clawd agent. Will probably need a server of my own as well. The desire for solar is more for independence, than environmental reasons anyway.
