Comment Even Better Solution (Score 2) 131

With upcoming new AI video compression formats, improving on existing perhaps by order of magnitude, I hope we will see, maybe 10 years from now, something like "Movie USB disk", containing all essential movies and TV shows ever created. It might need 200 TB - 1 PB, depending on language. This disk, readily copied among people on specialized $5 devices, shared and updated online, will be THE solution of media access problem.

Comment Corporations vs. people (Score 2) 181

Corporations are concentrating such power, that they don't hesitate to go directly against nation states, except USA and EU (so far) even UK after Brexit have no capability to enforce anything to them. Corporations are already involved in all major legislature being introduced and media (public opinion). This is far from democracy, and it is only getting worse.

Comment Model size (Score 1) 17

I think model size is the issue only because the current LLM works on classical computers where RAM is separate from CPU. A future LLM chip might use a more suitable architecture where parameters will be uploaded directly into the CPU, like a huge “microcode”. That way it will work much faster and can be integrated into low-powered devices like phones, even with hundreds of billions of parameters. The real question is why anybody would run LLM on the phone when cloud seems much more convenient when it comes to upgrades, power usage, etc.

Comment Not 2nm (Score 1) 74

IBM states that the technology can fit '50 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail.' We reached out to IBM to ask for clarification on what the size of a fingernail was, given that internally we were coming up with numbers from 50 square millimeters to 250 square millimeters. IBM's press relations stated that a fingernail in this context is 150 square millimeters.
So, this means there is on average 1 transistor for 3000 square nanometers on this chip, which si rectangle of size 50*60 nanometers. This could be good metric, just call this technology "3000nm technology".

If iPhone/Android is any guide, ARM on Windows will trail for some time, but will be much cheaper, with tens of major vendors selling it, and sooner rather then later it will catch up with Apple simply by being enormous ecosystem. Apple will be satisfied with major part of high-end, most profitable part of the market
