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

    Or we could stop this ridiculous llm “ai” trend and move towards sustainable living like our hyper-waste society

      These comments often indicate a lack of understanding about ai.

      Ml algorithms have been in use for nearly 50 years. They certainly become much more common since about 2012, particularly with the development of CUDA, It’s not just some new trend or buzz word.

      Rather, what we starting to see are the fruits of our labour. There are so many really hard problems that just cannot be solved with deductive reasoning.

      All it costs is power, one of the easiest things to make sustainable until we can make a computer that runs on beans.

      AI is already too useful to give up, it’s not “ridiculous”
