"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.

There will definitely be new backpropagation based architectures in the future. It won’t stop at transformers, just like how convolutional neural networks weren’t the end of the line.
If you’re only looking in the context of transformer models, then sure it might look like a plateau. But that’s a very narrow timeframe to look at. If we instead use 1970s as a timeframe, then things are progressing very fast. Almost overnight the internet is polluted by AI slop shit and people are having AI slop girlfriends. Things are going to get worse.
Educate me. Why is transformers the end of the line?
I’ve never mentioned AGI. Nor did SciShow either IIRC.
AGI or not, it’s going to get a lot worse.
