AI is already too far advanced, the letter won't stop anything. ChatGPT level models have been adapted to run on consumer grade hardware. Even in the US, it is now almost impossible to block its growth.

I would say it's flatly impossible. I myself have a 4090 and I'm blown the fuck away by what I can do on my own computer. Science fiction, but I'm living it.

Are there any open source instruct style models that perform similarly to chatGPT? Which ones have you been using

The higher param Alpaca models perform similarly to chatGPT. The only issue is that things are progressing so fast that it's hard to update the tools without everything breaking.

Tell me about it. Maybe AI at least could end the dependency hell

The letter won't, but its still worth talking about. Harsh regulation could come as a result of a panic.

Right now most people just don't know or don't get it. How do you think they'll react when they do? That'll come soon with the integration into office products and search.

It's worth talking about, but I'm also worried. The rate it's advanced means that whoever finds the next significant performance improvement could well develop AGI. Many people are researching it, and I'm concerned as 1. AI is currently unaligned 2. A malicious party could develop AGI. If high performing models hadn't already been publicly released, I would have been fully supportive of regulation. (Until AI could be aligned, or a plan for public safety developed.)
