I almost downvoted you since I forgot those sentences are quotes from that guy. Gosh, what an ass.

I doubt it since GPU was already not a bad tool for this job. The generality of GPGPU helped a lot here.

I doubt how good results that could achieve. I agree that 10~100 times improvement is feasible by optimizing the hardware. But the hardware in general need to be improved, yet the impenetrable barrier light speed is blocking on the way.

And more complete AI systems should require hundreds of thousands times the computation power. Really, this has the same issue as bitcoin.

Yea, I mostly mean the AGI nonsense. There are jobs where AI is helpful - tho imo it is worthy to point out that not all of it is purely benefit of AI.

 

It seems most people are on board with the idea that AI will change the world. While I agree it having some impact, I also think it is overinflated by marketing. Operating an AI takes huge computing power, which costs heaps of money and energy. So how are people suggesting that exponential improvement is feasible? I do not get it.

Further, aren't we supposed to reduce energy usage? Why are we trying to overspend what little is left? I hate how this is taking priority over the environment.

Creating this post mainly to rant, I thought OpenAI firing Sam Altman was a signal for a reality check. It seems they are wrapping it up and trying to rehire him though.. What a drama.

That sounds surprisingly tame list.

Maybe that could be quite an inefficient operation? I dunno.

Thanks a lot for making me feel better!!

..wait, so it means my password was leaked??

So sad that lots of people would gobble up thst shit, thinking that it's still worthwhile price.

It's not worth your time to refute one giving youtube link as a backing reference.

TIL wind turbines rotate towards the wind direction.

 

Yep, this is me with my own taskbar. I only thought about if I could, never stopping to ever consider whether I should.
