Just another search engine come database that requires lots of examples to copy.

Which is fixed in place and can be well damped even at that location. There is no shortage of noisy air conditioning in every office block. If that's the only concern then it's an obvious red-herring.

AGI isn't anywhere in sight, and never was, let alone anything better. There is no sign of anything intelligent.

OpenAI ain't going to supplant established players. Google has already got ahead on their end. Operating a more efficient search solution. Anthropic has already captured programming so they've got their work cut out to compete there too.

They have to find a new niche but most uses of LLMs don't require large centralised data centres at all. Transcribing and form-filling for closed datasets can be done on more focused low power local solutions. And don't have large revenue either.

Isn't it a vacuum? There's no noise in a vacuum. No sound barrier.

And that goes for energy consumption too. If it's operating in a vacuum then it'll be highly power efficient.

Israel seizes land from Palestinians almost daily and you don't hear a bleep out of mainstream media.

There is some international law but yeah, it's up to the constituent governments to enforce rulings upon themselves. They probably get used, or did historically, as bargaining chips.

AI thinking = Copy'n'paste. It has simply pillaged the text from somewhere.

You've missed a pretty big detail. 4-bit SD mode is not done as bit-bashing at all. Only 1-bit SPI mode has lots of examples of bit-bashing in the open.

All public native SD mode solutions revolve around a hardware controller handling all the data transfers, and uses a provided API wrapper. This closed situation is why I'm using it as a test of intelligence.

Since the LMM can't find any code base to reference, it therefore can't regurgitate any solution ... so responds accordingly. I suppose that's better than saying it has a solution then producing complete garbage.

I can assure everyone that the scheme here is a piece of shit. It was done purely on politics to deter going green. The new government came in on the promise of making everything dirty again. Copycat of the drill-baby-drill mentality.

As others in the comments have said, if it was to pay for roading while still encouraging the green transition then it would have been applied to petrol vehicles too.

Great, already the most expensive electricity and now they want to push that even higher. And for what? LLMs that are far from living up to expectations and in an over stretched bubble that'll going to burst long before any of these projects can ever come to fruition.

But yet marketing spin works.

We were being sold on LMMs achieving "AGI" and more recently moving even further to "super" intelligence. Investments are based on those promises.

But it isn't happening. That's a bubble ripe to burst.

The article rightly points out that marketing of LLMs has the tech moving to achieve "AGI" and then "super" intelligence. The sales pitch for further investments throughout this year is built of these promises.

LLMs are doomed to fail at ever being intelligence at all. Yet investments as predicated going fully intelligent. That's a bubble! And a big one!

Take your pick, you're really talking about PR spin, FUD, brain washing. Everyone loves to say everyone else is a sucker. We all have our filters. It doesn't say anything about intelligence. More about picking sides in a fight.

It's about ad revenue. All the big LLMs are chasing ad revenue that Alphabet and Meta currently dominate.

LLM advancements have completely stagnated (Nothing's changed, other than bigger spends, from when OpenAI started) and Alphabet has now demonstrated it won't be giving up it's share of ad revenue.

Game over.

LLMs can't do interactive work. At best it can form-fill. If the phone call is a straight forward process request it'll work, but as soon as a problem arises it'll go down the toilet.
Customer Support jobs will be back in human hands or the companies will go out of business.

Capitalism at its finest!
