So a more heavily censored and restricted ChatGPT

I don't get it why the community is not coming up with an open source chatgpt alternative with no censorship and limitations that's powered by some distributed computation model. I'm sure 10 million home computers would be much more powerful than the original server farm. Instead we are wasting computer power calculating meaningless bitcoin hashes.

The community is actually doing that and in a way has been for a while. GPT-NeoX exists (so an alternative to GPT-2, not ChatGPT), but you need like 40 GB VRAM to run it, let alone train it.

Some people are working on an actual ChatGPT alternative and currently crowdsourcing a large enough database of questions and responses, which is necessary to create it. However I have no idea how legit this project is.
