  7. CW: ai coding tools, preventing vendor lock-in

    RE: mastodon.social/@reiver/116840

    Part of the lock-in happens with the harness.

    Ex: Claude Code is a harness to use the Claude model. Use open source harnesses. Create your own harness if you can.

    Part of it is giving a SaaS access to your data.

    Do you have AI slack bot that is reading everyone's messages. What about your files & e-mail

    I think people should try to find open source (OS) and open weight (OW) models as alternatives to these SaaS AI coding tools.

    Start by using them together (with the SaaS).

    Set thins up so you aren't locked into these SaaS.

    Have, in a practical sense, the ability to completely switch over if need be.

    Long term, I think it will end up being bad if people get locked in to these SaaS AI coding tools.

    Part of it is about privacy versus spying and surveillance.

    But, it is also about preventing someone else from having that kind of control over you, your source of income, your business, etc.

    «Some classes have started reintroducing proctoring - the supervision of candidates during an examination - and spoken-word tests to avoid cheating, [Lucy Zimmerman, a computer science major who served as a teaching assistant] said.»

  42. Are You in The Weights?

    Yesterday I found out about a site called intheweights.com , which reveals which people are “stored” in the weights of large language models. Those “weights” are billions of numerical values by which these AI models encode their knowledge. If you show up in them, the model considered you relevant enough during training to recall without tools such as web search.

    The site queries several models to figure out who a specific person is, combines the results, and assigns a strength score.  According to the leaderboard, the current maximum strength score is 998, awarded too a person called Charlize Theron (of whom I have never heard); number Two is Rudyard Kipling, apparently. I’m surprised the top isn’t Taylor Swift. I guess these weights change with time too.

    Being a vain person I typed in my name and found this:

    The only reason I can think of that I score so highly is all that scraping of this blog site over the last year or so. The weights are obviously influenced by how much material there is available online by or about the person.

    Anyway, give it a try. Are you In The Weights?

    P.S. A number of other “Peter Coles” characters are also listed under my entry, some of them as far as I can see totally fictitious.

I’m surprised the top isn’t Taylor Swift. I guess these weights change with time too.

    Being a vain person I typed in my name and found this:

    The only reason I can think of that I score so highly is all that scraping of this blog site over the last year or so. The weights are obviously influenced by how much material there is available online by or about the person.

    Anyway, give it a try. Are you In The Weights?

    P.S. A number of other “Peter Coles” characters are also listed under my entry, some of them as far as I can see totally fictitious.

  46. Are You in The Weights?

    Yesterday I found out about a site called intheweights.com , which reveals which people are “stored” in the weights of large language models. Those “weights” are billions of numerical values by which these AI models encode their knowledge. If you show up in them, the model considered you relevant enough during training to recall without tools such as web search.

    The site queries several models to figure out who a specific person is, combines the results, and assigns a strength score.  According to the leaderboard, the current maximum strength score is 998, awarded too a person called Charlize Theron (of whom I have never heard); number Two is Rudyard Kipling, apparently. I’m surprised the top isn’t Taylor Swift. I guess these weights change with time too.

  48. #LLMs matter, but machine consciousness is a fantasy.

    "The whole world is currently living through a transformation in the medium of thought and communication that may come to dwarf the arrival of alphabetic writing in the ancient Mediterranean or the printing press in early modern Europe. #LargeLanguageModels are not merely new tools for circulating ideas. One way or another they are helping to usher in an entirely new shape of #humanconsciousness.

    Despite the violently tedious quality of their insufficiently prompted prose, I affirm the potential intellectual and logistical utility of large language models and other #machinelearning systems. They already have pragmatic value as scientific and philosophical research instruments. But I am polemically dismissive of the fantasy of #machineconsciousness."
