How the hell are you confused when EA does something shitty?

Ye but that would limit the use cases to very few. Most of the time you compress data to either transfer it to a different system or to store it for some time, in both cases you wouldn't want to be limited to the exact same LLM. Which leaves us with almost no use case.
I mean... cool research... kinda.... but pretty useless.
Ok so the article is very vague about what's actually done. But as I understand it the "understood content" is transmitted and the original data reconstructed from that.
If that's the case I'm highly skeptical about the "losslessness" or that the output is exactly the input.
But there are more things to consider like de-/compression speed and compatibility. I would guess it's pretty hard to reconstruct data with a different LLM or even a newer version of the same one, so you have to make sure you decompress your data some years later with a compatible LLM.
And when it comes to speed I doubt it's nearly as fast as using zlib (which is neither the fastest nor the best compressing...).
And all that for a high risk of bricked data.
That's exactly what I meant
Shoot this fucker in the face already
"No we didn't want to do the only sensible thing to do! We are a shitty company!"
Right 150miles is enough most of the time for most people, but it wouldn't make much sense to buy a pickup truck if you can't use it that one day every few weeks/months you actually have to transport something a little farther away.
And most people wouldn't buy a pickup with two seats, so considering the use case of a two seat pickup truck, 150miles range isn't that great.
I would appreciate stripping citizenship for racism or fascism related crimes.
Pro:
- no touch screen
Cons:
- american
- Bezos gets money
- 150miles reach
Meh
But spending a lot of processing power to gain smaller sizes matters mostly in cases you want to store things long term. You probably wouldn't want to keep the exact same LLM with the same weightings and stuff around in that case.
