"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.

IBM's CEO walked through some napkin math on data centers— and said that there's "no way" to turn a profit at current costs.

"$8 trillion of CapEx means you need roughly $800 billion of profit just to pay for the interest," Arvind Krishna told "Decoder."

Krishna was skeptical of that current tech would reach AGI, putting the likelihood between 0-1%.

Fully agreed. The huge front runners will never recoup the cost of their training, especially since the result is just being used to train the more efficient models.
