LLMs are created with machine learning.

One count of wiretapping and one count of wire fraud per instance of interception.
Oh, and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act charges.
For everyone involved.
No, wait - he's the third largest Democrat donor. Nevermind - Dish got their charges dropped last week for just a $130,000 donation to the Biden campaign.
And people think I'm odd for having a separate phone for secret-source apps!
So they set a devops flag to reboot and reimage a server and mark it dead if that fails?
Maybe the script is empathy.py?
Maybe a summer intern was given the task and eight weeks?
I mean, good for them for doing it right?
Because services are way more profitable than hardware.
The profit margin on desktop PCs is 3 to 6%.
The margin on technical services and consulting is 50 to 60%.
Cocaine sounds like a hell of a benefit by your measures
If you want to spend your money on cocaine, that's none of my business, and my cocaine consumption is none of your business.
Why canâ(TM)t it figure out how to reduce its power consumption
Machine learning is being used for new transistor designs and new PNR (Place and Route) algorithms for ASICs that will reduce the power consumption of future AI.
Machine learning is also being applied to deep learning hyperparameters and neural pruning that will reduce power consumption on existing hardware.
Pruning (artificial neural network)
Hyperparameter (machine learning)
or design new means to generate power?
Machine learning is being applied to semiconductor technologies used in PV solar and the design of turbine blades.
I have yet to see ANY indication that the cost of AI in energy, in natural resources, and in the pollution which results from both of these, will be lower than the benefits provided by the technology.
The best measure of a "benefit" is how much people are willing to pay.
If people won't pay for AI, it won't grow and won't be a problem.
Or, perhaps you are saying you are smarter than "common people," and you get to decide how they spend their money.
You could actually learn about the economics of mining instead.
You'd be happier on several axes.
Don't worry, America just needs to go and "invest" in a new developing market where labour is unregulated, paid in peanuts, and can be put to work making cheap TVs, ibuprofen, and hypocritical pride shirts.
Electronics are moving to Vietnam. Textiles are moving to Bangladesh. The rest is moving to Africa.
China is making a big push on RISC-V.
Perhaps 2024 will be the year of RISC-V on the desktop.
Copper lines, sure - but the money should be used to switch to fiber.
Fiber can't transmit power.
So when the grid goes down, so do the phones, making them no more reliable than cell phones or VOIP phones.
they get their parents old phone when their parents upgrade.
My family is the opposite. My daughter gives me her old phone when she upgrades.
They use SnapChat, Insta, etc. This whole thing is completely fucking absurd
Indeed. I have teenagers. They use WhatsApp, Viber, Snap, or whatever.
SMS is for old people.
they just keep raising the prices until it's not longer tenable.
As people cancel, the remaining customers have to pay more per capita to maintain the infrastructure. So higher prices are reasonable.
POTS needs to die. The money saved can be used to make cellular more reliable.
The obvious solution for remote rural areas is StarLink.
If kids are hassling each other over this
They're not.
I have teenage kids. They use messaging apps like WhatsApp and Viber.
SMS and iMessage are for old people.
