  • I’ve been thinking about this. I really think there can be zero trust. The last 30 years of experience have shown that there is no “cloud” that will ever be invulnerable to hacking/back doors/government subpoena.

    I believe the future requires open source tools that allows everything to work together on your own hardware seamlessly. Anything else will 100% be taken and used against your will.


















  • I don’t think so. Think about the training process. All the nodes in those neural networks were trained on sets of data together. While certain sets of nodes may be more heavily responsible for the word, “pineapple”, for example, those subsets cannot function outside the context of the whole network.

    Now, what if you had an LLM that hallucinates, and you trained a second neural network whose only job was to fact-check the output of the first neural network? Those are 2 neural networks trained on separate data, for separate purposes that work in tandem to provide accurate responses.


  • You jest, but only parts of the brain are responsible for decoding auditory signals. It doesn’t require weighted input from the whole brain to process these signals. In theory, one could surgically remove Brocha’s and Werniche’s areas, and they would function completely independent of the rest of the brain.

    My understanding is that you cannot identify a region of chatgpt that identifies plant leaves and separate it from the rest of the neural network without destroying its function. In this sense, the entire set of billions of weights is required for each function that chatgpt does.

    The brain has many separate components that function independent of each other, each of which is a fully functional neural network, all working in tandem.
