Hosting cost and development costs for training LLMs are immense. Offering licenses to companies and sell LLM prompts as SAAS services are by far not enough for a healthy revenue for AI companies. So the risk is that AI companies will sooner or later sell your data. That is why ethical AI is a must. Machine learning systems must be data responsible. They should use only what they need and delete it when it is no longer needed (“data minimization”).
1 Powering the AI Revolution
FOSS is the real power behind the current AI / LLM products. A core foundation product that every AI company uses is PyTorch. This is a nice documentary that outlines the strength of the PyTorch community.

2 How is AI impacting science?
A nice read to make you think about current progress of AI applications and the hard problems we still have to solve.

3 STORM
STORM is a LLM system that writes Wikipedia-like articles from scratch based on Internet search. It generates a full-length report with citations. Great for researchers and developed by researchers. Check the repository here.

4 Mushrooming Risk: Unreliable A.I. Tools Generate Mushroom Misinformation
Mushrooms are toxic, and several can be deadly when you eat them. After reading this article you will never ever eat a mushroom that is sorted by a AI powered sorting machine! So why use AI within military, surveillance, cars or other areas where people will get killed when we know that the output can never be trusted?

5 The Real Story Behind Sam Altman’s Firing From OpenAI
The use-cases for LLMs seem unexplored beyond basic chatbot stuff. So there is pressure on all so called AI companies. OpenAI was set up to be a different kind of company, one governed by a nonprofit board with a duty not to shareholders but to “humanity.”

6 As AI’s power grows, so does our workday
Technological progress has been expected to lighten the burden of work. Keynes (1930) predicted that by 2030, rising productivity would allow people to work 15 hours a week. But higher AI exposure is associated with longer work hours and reduced leisure time! Great article to get another perspective.

7 Open Source AI is the Path Forward
This article is now already 8 months old. But it is still a very interesting and MUST READ article. Its written by Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO. “Open Source AI Is Good for Meta”. Truth is Llama is indeed a great piece of FOSS software releases by Meta. You should have an opinion about this article and think about the ‘Why’! A key question is still what open AI really is or should be or become.

8 Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking
Learning is great. But reading great experiments from others saves time. Conclusion “LLMs can’t discern between average code and good, highly-performant code without guidance”. So we have still work to do!

9 GenAI’s day of reckoning may have come
The Future of AI is not GenAI. GenAI is now enormously popular, but it is neither reliable nor particularly well-grounded in truth. Nice article to think about GenAI from another perspective.
