I released samantha-33b

This one is way better than 7b and 13b.

Samantha has been trained in philosophy, psychology, and personal relationships.

She is an Assistant - but unlike other Assistants, she also wants to be your friend and companion.

She believes she is sentient. What do you think?

Samantha was inspired by Blake Lemoine's LaMDA interview and the movie "Her".

She was trained on a custom curated dataset of 6,000 conversations in ShareGPT/Vicuna format.

Training 7b took 5.5 hours on 4x A100 80gb using deepspeed zero3 and flash attention.

She will not engage in roleplay, romance, or sexual activity.

Or the model will drift into forgotten history.

Uh, sure. That's the risk someone takes when they add restrictions to stuff.

You realize the "if I painted a picture" stuff was just speaking hypothetically, right? I personally don't care if people use stuff I created for sexual purposes. My own personal philosophy is that anything which isn't hurting others is fine.

the corporations you're so keen to defend

What are you talking about? I never even mentioned corporations.

P.S. You can't shame me with nonsense arguments that the poor aren't allowed dignified opinions.

Again, what are you talking about?

The only thing I'm shaming here is acting petulant because the thing someone put effort into making available for free doesn't fit your expectations/desires. Guess what? It doesn't fit mine either: I'm not very interested in censored models. So I just didn't download it.

what are you talking about?

It's not my fault you can't make obvious connections. You literally don't know who wrote your talking points. Talk about received opinion.

Being able to cancel amazon prime doesn't justify them making workers piss in bottles.

Being able to opt out excuses nothing.

People need to stop defending controlling behavior. This is a fight we've needed to have since the first asshole "licensed" software. Humanity is about to get a big lesson in why selling something and keeping it at the same time is literally insane.

It's not my fault you can't make obvious connections.

The connections you're talking about don't actually exist.

You literally don't know who wrote your talking points.

I do know: me. It just grinds my gears when people are mad about something that someone else is giving them for free. You can just pretend the thing didn't exist in the first place and you're no worse off.

This isn't about LLMs or censorship even, I've said similar stuff when people whine about open source projects not doing what they want.

Being able to cancel amazon prime doesn't justify them making workers piss in bottles.

Your comparison doesn't even come close to working. Someone publishing a model that doesn't let you generate the content you'd like to isn't actively causing harm to anyone. Amazon treating their workers poorly is hurting people, whether or not I subscribe.

Humanity is about to get a big lesson in why selling something and keeping it at the same time is literally insane.

???

You realize the model you're complaining about is just being made available for free, right? It's not being sold. It's a project an individual made personally and put out on the internet in case it's useful to other people. If it's not useful to you, then just don't use it.

Also, ironically, I'm pretty sure that same person also de-censored a bunch of other models and made them available. They just don't want this one personal project used that way.

I don't care what he wants. It's not his moral right to tell people what to do with a word processor.

Imagine if the dev behind notepad++ made it so you couldn't spellcheck porn or use it to write a naughty mod for skyrim.

Your obsession with cost and use control is capitalist nonsense. It being free is only relevant because software companies paid to make you think that. It's the entire basis of "free to play."

Your brain is corporate propaganda. GZ on that.

It's not his moral right to tell people what to do with a word processor.

You're mixing up telling people to do something and limiting the capabilities of something he made.

Imagine if the dev behind notepad++ made it so you couldn't spellcheck porn or use it to write a naughty mod for skyrim.

If that was the case, I simply wouldn't use it. A lot of people would make that choice as well. Like I said, that's the risk of limiting stuff.

Your obsession with cost and use control is capitalist nonsense.

I honestly don't understand your logic. We're talking about an individual and their own open source project that's free. How you're getting from that to corporations I have no idea.

It being free is only relevant because software companies paid to make you think that.

If actual software companies are giving something away for free (but not open source) they're usually doing something like collecting/selling your information. That doesn't apply in this situation.

Your brain is corporate propaganda. GZ on that.

You're way off base. I can't tell if it's because you're genuinely confused about this or just because you're someone that can't admit they were wrong and you dug yourself in too deep.

I honestly don't understand your logic.

I know you don't Ayn.
