alt Hacker NewsI feel like I'm taking crazy pills. This entire thing is just hand-waving and sci-fi sensationalism that seemingly forgets what the "fi" part stands for: FICTION.
The worst part of AI rapture self-suck is that it distracts people from actual problems society faces as a result of AI. We're far more likely to see a catastrophic economic depression, or depletion of regional water supplies. Let's focus on problems based in reality, please.
Thank you!
These morons really can't take two seconds to ask "where will the money to pay for the hardware needed to run the ASI come from?" And then realize it's quite literally impossible.
No, we aren't two or five or twenty years away from LLMS magically transforming into AGI/ASI. We are however much closer than that to this insane, irresponsible bubble popping because everyone actually involved with the data centers creating these models is burning collectively trillions of dollars and deep in debt and sucking venture and banks dry.
This is the collective insanity of NFTs but so, so, so much worse and so much stupider and so much more rooted in science fiction and marketing from the handful of people burning down the world in exchange for propping up their stocks on a bed of lies.
