    "Large Language Models are not, on their own, the problem. They're tools, capable of some outcomes, doing some things, but the problem, ultimately, are the extrapolations made about their abilities, and the unnecessary drive to make them larger, even if said largeness never amounted to much.

    Everything that I'm describing is the result of a tech industry — including media and analysts — that refuses to do business with reality, trafficking in ideas and ideology, celebrating victories that have yet to take place, applauding those who have yet to create the things they're talking about, cheering on men lying about what's possible so that they can continue to burn billions of dollars and increase their wealth and influence.

    I understand why others might not have written this piece. What I am describing is a systemic failure, one at a scale hereto unseen, one that has involved so many rich and powerful and influential people agreeing to ignore reality, and that’ll have crushing impacts for the wider tech ecosystem when it happens.

    Don't say I didn't warn you."

    • The tech industry is going to be just fine. There are huge strategic incentives to achieve AI supremacy. If dumb money can get sucked in the build out is fastermonNom
    • but it is exceedingly unlikely that the infrastructure being built now will not move forward. It will be needed for inference during the coming robot wars.monNom
    • or the perception that 'robot wars' are a possibility that needs to be prepared for.monNom
    • I just don't get it, are you getting paid affiliate money to post these?utopian
    • Utopian anything to add to the discussion? Or you want to stay at "posting AI slop" level?
