@ultraloveheaven training 1 model that is used by millions of people, and comparing that to things quantified as single-person use is misleading at best. This tells me 1 foundation model is only as bad as 6 cars. that's pretty good if you ask me, given that 6 cars will be used by probably only around 30-40 people tops in its lifetime.
@ultraloveheaven 1 model is the same as 300 airline passengers taking 1 cross country flight. That's one airplane. there are typically 15 flights a day between nyc and sfo. not bad.
@ultraloveheaven nuanced issue for sure, and those are understandable concerns.
