China is “set up to hit grand slams,” longtime Chinese energy expert David Fishman told Fortune. “The U.S., at best, can get on base.”

    This is exactly a post that reads fine but when you are in insider, it’s obvious it is almost all bullshit

    The problem is most of you have very shallow takes on what is going on in AI right now

    Artist theft isn’t even close to the worst problem we are facing yet 90% of the energy spent online is to protect some fucking furry sketcher’s income when we are facing an existential threat of social media profiling and dissident targeting

      I mean, I’m a local AI evangelist and have made a living off it. The energy use of AI thing is total nonsense, as much as Lemmy doesn’t like to hear it.

      I keep a 32B or 49B loaded pretty much all the time.

      You are right about the theft vs social media thing too, even if you put it a little abrasively. Why people are so worked up in the face of machines like Facebook and Google is mind boggling.

      …But AI is a freaking bubble, too.

      Look at company valuations vs how shit isn’t working, and how much it costs.

      Look around the ML research community. They all know Altman and his infinite scaling to AGI pitch is just a big fat tech bro lie. AI is going to move forward as a useful tool through making it smaller, smarter, more specialized and more efficient, but transformers LLMs with randomized sampling are not just going to turn into general artificial intelligence if enough investors thrown money at these closed off enterprises.
