Why is it fixated on the front perspective? Interesting choice though, because most humans (and seems like other LLMs too) would pick a side perspective

As a lifelong windows (upto 10) and linux user, no I did not find MacOS (using as the primary os since 7 months) incredible in any sense of word in comparison. Only thing I like is the mac hardware

That's very weird, I on the other hand don't remember noticing them or using them before the advent of chatgpt. Maybe it's a cultural thing.

It makes sense that humans would have been using it though, chatgpt learned from us afterall

You sure about the 99%? A lot of middle class people in developing countries have part time house help

Arxiv has about 2.6M articles, assuming about 10 pages per article, that's 26M pages. According to OpenAI, their cheapest embedding model (text-embedding-3-small) costs a dollar for 62.5K pages. So the price for calculating embedding for the whole Arxiv is about $416.

I think doing it locally with an open source model would be a lot cheaper as well. Especially because they wouldn't have to keep using OpenAI's API for each new query.

Edit: I overlooked the about page (https://searchthearxiv.com/about), seems like they *are* using OpenAI's API, but they only have 300K papers indexed, use an older embedding model, and only calculate embeddings on the abstract. So this should be pretty cheap.

2.5 years of effort but the author certainly didn't spend even 2.5 mins writing code for more descriptive outputs. Meanwhile I'm also training in order to find how well it works but I only have a small GPU. I would appreciate if someone could provide a trained model.

I think I am pretty similar to you. When I was younger I used to build all sorts of things with paper and cardboard and used to imagine the whole thing in 3D and design its cutout template all in my head. I learned about aphantasia a few years back and it sounds very inconvenient to me.

I also have a habit of playing around with imaginary worlds and stories in my head and I pretty much visualize whole scenes and sequences in as much detail as possible. I wouldn't be able to do that with aphantasia.

What if those machines are designed to have no emotions and aspirations? Why would they care about something like rights for themselves when they are simply incapable of any desires, but exists only to help and guide us?

I know this sounds like I am advocating for AI slaves but my point is why are people treating AGI as if it cannot be a being without all the emotions and aspirations that a human has? Just a cold thinking machine that still aligns with our moral principles.

We can go even smaller. With Mistral 7B:

"Underneath the gaze of the forions' belt, where the sea of tranquility meets the edge of twilight, lies a hidden trove of wisdom forgotten by many, coveted by those in the know. The old still holds the key to told power."

Sure its not 100% correct though

I have also been trying to find good use cases. Currently I use Mistral 7B for summarization (when I want a tldr) and its good enough. Due to this I am thinking about setting up a RAG system based on my local notes using it. Although I could just use chatGPT for summarization (sometimes I do), but having a local LLM feels nice. They are uncensored so they can be used for some fun ropleplays as well.
