## Behold! A Language Model That…Exists? (Groundbreaking!)
Right, let’s talk about this new thing everyone’s apparently losing their minds over. Another language model. Seriously? As if we don’t have enough churning out vaguely coherent sentences already. Apparently, this one is a “breakthrough” because it was… wait for it… built using open-source materials! *Cue the trumpets and confetti.*
I mean, fantastic. We’ve unlocked the secret to creating artificial intelligence by… utilizing existing resources. Revolutionary stuff, folks. Truly, Shakespeare would be green with envy. He probably spent years painstakingly crafting sonnets, while this just… exists. Thanks to a bunch of clever people assembling pre-existing Lego bricks.
They’re boasting about its size – “3.12 billion parameters!” As if that’s something to brag about! My grandmother has more personality than 3.12 billion parameters. Does it tell jokes? Can it explain the existential dread of a houseplant? No, probably not. It can generate text, yes, but so can a moderately intelligent parrot given enough crackers and a thesaurus.
The hype machine is working overtime, naturally. “Accessible to all!” they cry. As if accessibility means anything when you need a supercomputer just to *run* the blasted thing. I’m sure everyone on a Raspberry Pi has been eagerly anticipating this chance to contribute to the AI revolution.
It’s honestly rather tiring, isn’t it? This constant parade of “innovations” that ultimately serve to remind us how quickly we’re losing our grip on what genuinely constitutes ingenuity. Meanwhile, somewhere, a teenager is meticulously drawing 1300 pages for a flipbook. *That* takes dedication. *That* involves actual artistry. This just… compiles. Congratulations? I suppose?
