No datacenter needed now, just run it on your computer. Anything with 12gb+ of vram can run it comfortably at low quants. If they can come out with a good MOE model it will crush the competition. At this current rate of progress, China will out-compete foreign AI development within a year or two.

What does it mean when any opposition to anything will paint a lethal target on your head? Are we going to have to go through our lives acting out personas that are severable as soon as we offend someone enough? Will there be an arms race over knowing someone's true identity? Will we all have to further atomize ourselves in our homes with slaughterbot-proof bars on the windows? Maybe even more draconian surveillance measures to try in vain to prevent non-state actors from acquiring slaughterbots that weigh 200g and can be 3D printed?

For most of human history, there were people that were locally important to you, and there were people that were inaccessible to you, with no in-between. Killing someone casually at your leisure was something that was mostly within the domain of a small and well-known group of (assassinateable) powerful people.

Everyone is thinking over-your-head "wow imagine what it could do for meeeee" and no one is thinking "what would the ecosystem of this look like with universal access".

You'd better hope that you have the definitive model for society up your sleeve to prevent these from being used as they get introduced, otherwise humanity is going to eat itself alive.
