For sure there are VPS services available for this. However, it’s sad how much we need a powerful rig with 32GB RAM just to do regular development or test new FOSS stuff these days (for the sake of being melodramatic).

Nice, another improvement on existing LLM models. It’s impressive how fast the Chinese are advancing in this technology. The nice thing is that they made their work open source as well.

I believe AI can’t replace jobs in Software, however it can indeed hurt the software and IT workers in the short and long run. The expectation or the belief that AI will replace workers is enough to do this, even if the outcome is not true. The performance of workers will always be benchmarked against AI tools and that will make negotiation of salary and higher positions harder.

The same can be said about digital artists, even though I think it’s more complicated, since the assessment of quality of art is subjective and many shareholders only see digital art as a cost. For example why hire an artist to design a logo when instead you have a person with a prompt?

It will be a lot of fun once the GenAI hype collapses. The bad part is always the workers paying the price for the bad decisions of the capitalists.

The feeling that your job is shit, since your manager is pushing that shit feature to appease the corporate execs who don’t care about your personal opinion, but you have to do it because it pays your bills, and your family depends on you. At least until you find another job with decent pay.

We live in capitalism, so we workers are alienated from the products of our labor.

It’s not a double standard. It conforms to Western politics standards.
