It is such a stupid and obvious market failure that nobody has made a consumer AI LLM product that is 1. trained on consensually-acquired material 2. powered with renewable energy 3. genuinely open about its weights and models. Just achieving these things and being creator-friendly would be massive.

@anildash the corporate models that are spending billions of dollars to harness a country's worth of power and boils the oceans to train on unethically sourced data results in a service that isn't appropriate for deployment as anything more sophisticated than a toy (despite how people are actually using them). An "organic" version would perform even worse than the corpo ones that are already unpopular and failing.

@smn I don’t believe that’s true. I believe it might enable purpose-specific smaller models that are useful.
