Point 1 isn't that ludacris if we could outlaw the training of new models. The effort of training them is the largest part.
GPT4ALL can run models easily, privately and locally on your computer - because the training is done, it's past tense. All you're doing when you ask it something locally/offline is remixing it.
How would you make better models then? Like force everyone to team up so there's "only" one datacenter? Waiting for techbto catch up?
I'm genuinely curious as I don't think any of the big companies are going to stop just like that.
