“There’s no way to get there without a breakthrough,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, arguing that AI will soon need even more energy.

    The human brain uses about 20W. Maybe AI needs to be more efficient instead?

      Perfect let’s use human brains as CPUs then. Not the whole brain just the unused bits.

          It’s what matrix would’ve been if the studios didn’t think people would too dumb to get it, so we ended with the nonsense about batteries.

            They also thought we wouldn’t understand how Switch could be a woman in the matrix but a man in the real world. So they just made the character a butch woman because apparently that’s easier somehow. So many little changes like this were made.

              Holy fuck now her name makes so much more sense. God dammit, why are we so fucking stuck up as a society that we couldn’t even keep that

        I would love it (if there exists a FOSS variant of that) imagine being able to run a LLM, or even LAM in your head,

        wait…

        🤔

        And yet we have brains. This brute force approach to machine learning is quite effective but has problems scaling. So, new energy sources or new thinking?

          We just run the AI for a gazillion epochs and then it’s overfitted evolved intelligence. Thanks Darwin we did it again.

      We invented computers to do things human brains either couldn’t do, or couldn’t do fast enough.
