Completely unrelated question: any recommendations for a good porn feed, besides fedinsfw.app?

Welcome! Lemmy lives on active participation, and you made the right call. Besides, the chatter here can get lively!
Not to mention we have some Lemmywide games and activities from time to time (the most recent being the Season 4 of !thebutton@lemmy.zip, the basic idea of which you may recognize from Reddit), and you'll need an account to take part!
Probably Firefox
Is that conspiracy kicking in? Besides, it is still LLMs. Like, these are text-generating things, not weapon-grade AI. The absolute worst they can do is be used to assist hacking, and modern models coming from the US are already very good at vulnerability detection and pentesting. Not to mention the best defense against that is not AI, but standardized and strictly enforced network security.
Arms race
Woah, we're talking LLMs here, this is not a secret military technology. And China is very open about the developments made there - you can freely study and reverse engineer plenty of Chinese models, and see all the weights out in the open.
This whole race about them is, in my opinion, nothing but trying to pump the bubble even faster, churning the economy in the process and playing on gullible or self-interested politicians. Countries will be just fine assessing risks and then moving on.
This assumes LLMs to be a strategically vital technology, which it's often treated as with little apparent reason, highlighted again and again.
Moreover, Chinese models are commonly open and you can freely run or study them.
The same phrase would be "cooking was never the hard part of running a restaurant"
But yes. It's one thing to code. It's a very different one to code well.
Takes too much space but is otherwise alright
Given that hoarding RAM for AI is the main culprit behind the shortage, you're guaranteed to get pitchforks instead of compassion here.
If your operating expenses for a website outweigh hosting 50:1 while most work is done by volunteers, something is seriously wrong with your books.
Wikimedia Foundation has enough assets to keep hosting Wikipedia for the next 60 years, according to their financial reports:
Wikipedia will really be fine. It is all the other expenses that raise eyebrows in a major way. This, of course, includes the pay of the executives and high-ranking officials that earn anywhere between $150k to $500k a year, and their salaries keep growing exponentially. At the same time, they spend donated money hiring union-busting firms - presumably, to crush on the latest unionization attempts and keep growing their pay.
