As with almost all technology, AI tech is evolving into different architectures that aren't wasteful at all. There are now powerful models we can run that don't even require a GPU, which is where most of that power was needed.
The one wrong thing with your take is the lack of vision as to how technology changes and evolves over time. We had computers the size of rooms to run processes that our mobile phones can now run hundreds of times more efficiently and powerfully.
Your other points are valid, people don't realize how AI will change the world. They don't realize how soon people will stop thinking for themselves in a lot of ways. We already see how critical thinking drops with lots of AI usage, and big tech is only thinking of how to replace their staff with it and keep consumers engaged with it.
You are demonstrating in this comment that you don't really understand the tech.
The "efficient" models already spent the water and energy to train, these models are inferior to the ones that need data centers because you are stuck with a bot trained in 2020-2022 forever.
They are less wasteful, but will become just as wasteful the second we want it to catch up again.
You are misunderstanding the tech. That's not how this works, models are trained often, did you think this was done only a few years ago? The fact that you called them bots says everything.
You're just hating to hate on something, without understanding the technology. The efficiency I'm referring to is the MoE architecture that only got popular within the last year. There are still new architectures being developed, not that you care about this topic but would prefer to blindly hate on what's spewed from outdated and biased news sources.
Yeah nah
Same shit people said in 2022
In 3 more years you'll be making the same excuses for the same shortcomings, because for you this isn't about the tech, it's about your ideology.
You make weird assumptions seemingly based on outdated ideas. I'll let you be, perhaps you need some rest.
