Good afternoon, Dr. Wissner Gross,AWG, Alexander,

I came across this on YouTube, and I’m curious to hear what you think of it.

I’m not affiliated with them in any way. I think it opens up possibilities—if it turns out to be something- like smaller AI models with performance comparable to the large models. The Dyson swarm is still going to happen; it’s just going to get busier more models on the same amount of comupte someting like that. It could also be a solution to the long-term scarcity of computing power; it could give people around the world more intelligence if you could run these kinds of models on a single GPU, or simply on a CPU/NPU, or on any device at all. Throw open source/openweight into the mix, and we’re a step closer to the Star Trek future—that would be amazing. Well, I’m curious to see if something like this makes sense or if there’s an alternative path alongside the current LLMs. Oh, and back in the ’90s, there was a professor,Hugo de Garis,Ph.D. who was already warning about the dark sides of AI and his own work—he even wrote a book about it, *The Artilect War*. He warned about his own work—the current situation regarding AI and the potential risks isn’t really new. I think open source will be the solution. At HF, they were probably happy to have an open-source “Almost Frontier” model at their disposal with that little incident, I think 😂

Best regards,

Raymond van Huik
