"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.

You may not ask. They have been declared to be dumb and dumb they shall be. So says @[email protected].

Not the original poster, but here I go:

  • The investment is the increase in progress of technology. It will develop faster and more efficient. In all sectors.

  • AI will improve because of its capability to help programmers in order to develop itself.

  • AI is being misused for all kinds of vain projects at the moment. But once the shine wears off people will go jump on the new bandwagon. By limiting use to the things that actually improve through AI, we can stabilise the energy requirement. But I agree we are not there yet.

  • AI is not going to replace jobs. Why would a company fire people when they could just use AI to multiply that particular teams productivity and make more money? Some c-suits do not understand this yet, but they will eventually.

  • Because of copyright, they all need to use non-copyrighted material. Which in this timeline is very far and few between. They will find other ways to improve AI, data feeding is the easiest way but not the only one. I suspect the next innovation will be data refining. Imagine an LLM only trained on scientific papers.

LLMs are only the first step into creating AGI. We are teaching the computer to be able to communicate with us in a meaningful manner. The intelligence will come after.

It is like teaching a baby to talk. Yes it will say dumb shit, but it will improve over time.
