"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

According to experts, Moore's law haven't been active since 2016

Although miniaturization is still happening, the Moore’s Law standard of doubling the components on a semiconductor chip every two years has been broken. The implications are far-reaching and, Professor Leiserson admits, concerning, especially with the recent frenzy around generative AI and large language models (LLMs). He says, “the only way to get more computing capacity today is to build bigger, more energy-consuming machines. If we’re in an AI arms race with our adversaries, it could have a dramatically bad impact on climate.”

The biggest gain still available? More efficient software, which is the opposite direction the industry is going with the focus on slop output.

If I had a euro each time someone said Moore's law is dead I'd go to the restaurant tomorrow...

Maybe you're right or it's at least a lower exponential, but it would be the first time in history.
