“[Generative AI] is the leaded gasoline of tech, where the boost to engine performance didn’t outweigh the horrific health impacts it inflicted.”
I love Ed so much.
The money in AI is going to be the wages of the people it replaces. Those tech billionaires call it a revolution because getting labor without wages is the promised land for cunt billionaires.
The AI revolution is here because that’s what the owners want. If you think they’ll wait until the AI is as good as humans to replace humans I’ll point out that self-checkout already exists.
The big problem here is that it’s simply not reliable enough to replace a worker because you have to have the AI running unsupervised to actually replace anyone and it can’t be done with the current technology and something that can actually replace workers is not coming in the next 5 years or so and I’m being generous.
bring back 00’s google search that shit was smarter than any of these ais
Google Now and Google Inbox did stuff that’s beyond what can be achieved in AI in practice now. Both shut down due to being unprofitable XD
Aw I miss Google inbox 😢 time to put a flower on the google graveyard 🪦😋
Have you tried one of the google search alternatives?
- kagi
- Quant
- Ecosia
- duckduckgo
Of course they can not compensate for the shithole the whole internet has become
OpenAI loses money on every single paying customer, just like with its free users. Increasing paid subscribers also, somehow, increases OpenAI’s burn rate. This is not a real company.
🔥
so are you telling me use it for bogus shit programatically en masse until they bleed dry?
Data centers and electrical companies will be new Rockefellers
It’s almost as if the “aRtIfiCiAl iNtElLiGenCe” is as big a cult as blockchain is, isn’t it?
And I already have the next bubble ready: https://youtu.be/wSHmygPQukQ
This is the thought I’ve had too. This stuff takes a ridiculous amount of energy and energy costs money. Ah but they’re going to build big nuclear plants! But thos cost money to build and you have to pay nuclear engineers a lot of money to run them and buy the uranium… it’s going to cost a lot of money.
They have to figure out how to get it to 1/1000 of the cost it currently is to make any money off of it. They’ll need to cut so many corners that it probably not be much good at anything.
It’ll probably just used for big “data driven” corporations to use to analyze our data to try to figure out how to sell products that barely anyone can afford.
Foot good or for bad there are smaller, less heavy LLMs than openai.
There could be an AI revolution. Send Elon and the rest of the billionaires into orbit, and they’ll revolve around the Earth; they’re all artificially intelligent, after all.
I’d prefer that revolution be a decaying orbit around the sun.
Hitting the sun is surprisingly difficult
Launching into deep space knowing that they’ll never enter another star system on the otherhand…
Look launching our billionaires into deep space is no better than interstellar littering.
We should be better than that.
I bet we could launch them into Jupiter or Saturn no problems.
Even the Moon will do
I mean, I never said anything about space suits or capsules, so the destination could be wherever!
Magnificent
Stellar read. So OpenAI et al keep going at the current rate, and there’s never any profit—when does it burst? How spectacular does it burst? Or will we simply have laid off a significant portion of the tech workforce and then it fizzles away?
Those GPUs to run the AI? Still cheaper than wages! And I’ve met plenty of people in my life that were far dumber than a small LLM.
