I’ve tried coding and every one I’ve tried fails unless really, really basic small functions like what you learn as a newbie compared to say 4o mini that can spit out more sensible stuff that works.

I’ve tried explanations and they just regurgitate sentences that can be irrelevant, wrong, or get stuck in a loop.

So. what can I actually use a small LLM for? Which ones? I ask because I have an old laptop and the GPU can’t really handle anything above 4B in a timely manner. 8B is about 1 t/s!

    So, buzzer WRONG.

    Quite arrogant after you just constructed a faulty comparison.

    If I say my name is Doo doo head, in a public park, and someone happens to overhear it - they can do with that information whatever they want. Same thing.

    That’s absolutely not the same thing. Overhearing something that is in the background is fundamentally different from actively recording everything going on in a public space. You film yourself or some performance in a park and someone happens to be in the background? No problem. You build a system to identify everyone in the park and collect recordings of their conversations? Absolutely a problem, depending on the jurisdiction. The intent of the recording(s) and the reasonable expectations of the people recorded are factored in in many jurisdictions, and being in public doesn’t automatically entail consent to being recorded.

    See for example https://www.freedomforum.org/recording-in-public/

    (And just to clarify: I am not arguing against your explanation of Twitch’s TOS, only against the bad comparison you brought.)

      Literally not. The police use this right now to record your location and time seen using license plates all over the nation - with private corporations providing the service.

      and being in public doesn’t automatically entail consent to being recorded.

      And yes, it’s called ‘expectation to the right of privacy’. Public venues are not ‘private’ locations, and thus do not need consent. You can, quite literally, record anyone in public.
