>>35582447Here is some actual real hopium:
The pandora's box has been opened.
As we speak, models able to compete with 175B parameters models with only 20B parameters are being developed, tested and open sourced.
The entire field is ACCELERATING. More and more labs and individuals are going to start putting together their AIs, computation times WILL plummet (Don't forget, the human brain uses a mere 20W! There is an incredible amount of optimization left to achieve!).
5-10 years? No way. I saying it now, feel free to grudge post me. Within the next year, a decent
Character.AI alternative will pop up, maybe more than one.
Also god I want to have sweet lovey-dovey hugging and kissing sex with Fandead.
