"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.

That's only if Hyperscale AI doesn't prove to be a bubble. If AI ends up as regular software, it's a different story.
Basically, Hyperscale AI turned computing to a capital intensive industry, when it was a labour intensive industry before (which is why developers were so well paid). If that stabilizes as the new normal, then the meme is 100% true. If it turns out that after a certain point, throwing more hardware at the models doesn't really improve them AND things like quantization that turn LLMs/agents into software anyone can run on basic hardware, then we are in a different timeline.
