  • we’d still have to contend with the extreme energy use,

    Meanwhile people running it on Raspberry PI: “I made it consume 1W less, which is 30% improvement!”

    and the epistemic chaos of being able to generate convincing bullshit much quicker than it can be detected and flagged.

    It’s been this way long before modern AI.


  • Incremental scientific research delivers new possible features -> funding hype to be first to market -> engineering builds products based on new tech -> people learn what it can and cannot do through use -> hype dies and funding dries up (you are here for LLMs) -> less funding stops engineering new products and research continues incremental changes until repeat.

    TLDR: AI works on goverment funding.
