    And then only the criminals would have them. You know because criminals tend to break the law so making a tool that they used to break the law illegal wouldn’t really impaire them.

      There’s a lot of people in here who don’t know about open weight models that can run on an old 7900XTX.

      The data center part of LLMs is how they’re going to try to make money off of LLMs. The technology to use it for nefarious uses is already loose in the world.

      Of course every criminal has easy access to large data centers, and stuff. Except for the federal three letter criminals, of course.

      Criminals don’t own datacenters running the models that actually pose a threat.

        No does anybody else, but apparently they have access to them well we wouldn’t even be talking about it.

        Mid-high gaming pc money will have you running near-frontier level models locally.
