@Nomates1980@Thejimpenman Bro this isn’t America u take on 50-60k of hecs debt to get a secure job with a starting salary of 100k which would only scale up
Just for fun I kicked off a run of a 176b parameter model on ~140 steps to prove feasibility - 4 separate nodes across the internet using the "Parallax" method, works like a charm.
Still need a more concrete plan on dataset curation, phases, context elongation, etc. etc. before a full run is ready of this scale, but at least we know 176b should be no problem at all.
Btw i should address some of the points in the article which AI slop influencers are now repeating.
> I suspended emissions to his subnets
I do not have the ability to suspend emissions. What i did do is sell some of my alpha holdings on his three subnets, because they were not running, and were on near 100% burn code. This changed the emission the same way all buys and sells on Bittensor do. I don’t have any privilege beyond what normal TAO holders have.
> I deprecated Covenant’s channels and removed moderation rights
No, Samuel specifically deprecated his own channels which he did via a pinned comment and also a Twitter post. To be clear, he is talking about a discord channel.
> I removed his ability to moderate his community
Sam was deleting posts in his channel of genuine, honest criticism. I removed that ability temporarily and then reinstated it later. I did not remove his moderator role. I simply stopped him from deleting posts from others in his channels.
> “deprecating infrastructure”
Not even sure what this one means.
> large visible token sales
Not large. Less than 1% of what i had invested in his teams. Visibility is impossible to avoid in my position. I reserve my right to buy and sell tokens which is what underpins the entire system of dTao.
Anything else?
