I appreciate this line of questioning. It's really interesting to see how many excuses people need to reach for to avoid the conclusion that the "secret unheard of power" is B.S...
replyRussia is running out of refined oil to power their economy. They probably aren't capable of spinning up datacenters to run those.
replyThe cost would be between 100k-250k, to run approx 88 agents leveraging the best open source models available.
replyI'm just saying, where this is actually applicable we are not seeing it being demonstrated. You would presume the entire energy infrastructure of Europe would be under constant AI hacking barrage, criminal enterprise would be breaking into poorly secured financial institutions and r/r4r posts would be littered Ai con-artists.
I'm just wondering, again, is this mostly bullshit?
Why do you think they're not, and why do you think Russia cares about Reddit?
replyIt’s an example of potential use by bad actors.
replyThey don’t need to run their own DCs, just pay for a proxy somewhere in the world that has better access to the infrastructure. We know North Korea has been doing that in the US since years now
replyDid you skip the last paragraph? Not a great time to be building data centers in Russia. Models are nothing without computers to run them
replyRussia can use fake accounts and VPNs to run their agents in data centers in neutral countries.
replyAnd which of these neutral countries have the capacity to serve them and the lack of awareness that hosting an offensive Russian agent swarm would bring hell back to their doorstep? Best they can do right now is rented botnets
replyUm... China?
replyNo one is attacking China
