"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.

Good question. But technology always finds ways to eat up resources. I mean we've come from computers with few megabytes of memory and slow internet connections to several Gigabytes of memory and Gigabit internet connections, smartphones with double the processing power every few years and they roughly do the similar things in a lot of aspects. Call, text, office work, surfing... We had those very same things in the early 2000s with a fraction of the resources... Oh well, and we've gained some awesome new things like smartphone cameras or video streaming. I guess we'll come up with use-cases. Question is just who is gonna afford to pay for operation and electricity. Compute is going to become way cheaper once the taxpayer and people ate the investment losses and the hardware is paid for. But operation costs a pretty penny so I think I still don't have any idea about profitable use-cases given the scale of it all...
