Once AI takes all the jobs the prospect of a sexy suicide coach will be appealing not only to investors, but also to governments as a subsidized way to euthanize poor people. They should really just keep this concept in their back pocket until the mass layoffs pick up steam, then roll it back out.
Talk about non-starterz ! The only research you want to do with "data-centers/LLM/*.ai" is
My friend, you have an overactive imagination. How you pulled that out what I wrote is quite creative, but silly and wrong.
My point, and my only point, is that the present concept of huge power sources dedicated to AI data centers is premature. Effective AI is a couple generations early. At present, the paradigm sucks up too much power.
Yes it does. And as much as the AI prophets want us to believe that AI will solve that problem, the only solution they've proposed thus far to the "sucks up too much power" problem is build ever bigger datacenters sucking up still more power. That's not a solution so much as a goalpost transplant on a nearly astronomical scale. There's a reason people are concerned about it, because we just keep hearing that if we pour enough resources into AI, AI will solve every problem we've ever had. Yet, at the moment, it can't even solve the problems it itself is creating. I don't think building ever larger datacenters using ever more resources is going to pay off nearly as well as the pushers are trying to convince us it will, and we need to start looking at the situation with a little tiny modicum of that ever encroaching thing called reality.
You can't collect data on datacenters being built to collect data on people! HOW DARE THEY SUGGEST COLLECTING DATA ON BIG DATA IS OK!
Exactly! My company rolled out JIRA time tracking and said it was purely to do metrics on time spent on tasks. The employees unionized and the company was trying to get us to accept that they'll use those time tracking charts as a basis for disciplinary action. If they say "The tool won't be used for evaluation purposes", then you can bet it absolutely will be.
The business world is pretty notorious for "whatever we say we won't do is already part of the plan." This one is so absurdly obvious I'm surprised they bothered to even say it.
They could give a fig how much time someone spends.
Those people are measured outlet on money earned / lost.
There may be a loose correlation, but revenue is the only performance measurement that matters.
While that may be factually correct, management rarely gives a flying fuck about factual correctness if they have the ability to micro-manage employees with tools like these.
Insert Pam from the Office "It's the same picture" meme here.
With current massive price increase of RAM and storage, I would not like having to dedicate a sizable portion of my device to generate slop.
You will be part of the slopoverse whether you want to or not. It has been decided by people more important than you or me that this is our purpose, to create the machines that will generate slop at the expense of resources and sanity. There is no other course. If we don't, someone else might, and we can't let there be a slop-gap with some other country.
Only people that the Chinese government approve of are going to be able to buy them, even though it comes in a cargo container the days of being able to get anything you want out of China if you pass some money under the table are long gone.
Right, like having enough money to hand Trump a little cut won't get you anything you want.
The LOTR "franchise" has lost all credibility thanks to Amazon. Bringing back the director of the good movies plus the world's best known Tolkien expert is a way to signal that the movie will stick to truth. That said Colbert doesn't know jack about screenwriting, it is like nothing else, not even writing novels (look at how JK Rowling did when she tried to write screenplays instead of novels) so I would question how much input he's really going to have. If I had to guess, it would be about as much input as George RR Martin has on his TV series, i.e., he attends a few meetings with writers and then fucks off and cashes his check.
I think Colbert's kid is a screenwriter and is going to be "helping," i.e. actually doing the writing, in this project. Colbert is most likely just gonna be the nerd providing the backbone.
That said, I don't know if screenwriting matters anymore. These things have to pass through so many different committees and meet so many different agendas before they get to the shooting stage that the writer has about as much say over the final product as the metal miners have over where the final bolts get set in a vehicle.
In the 70s and 80s, the threat from a handful of countries was: "We can destroy everything". With developments in Russia, Ukraine, Iran and now China, the new doctrine is: "We can destroy anything"... and that's not just from a few large states, but potentially other actors who are both willing to send these things, and do not greatly have to fear retaliation.
MAD won't be a deterrent when any insane idiot with a few thousand laying around decides it's time to have some explosive, psychotic fun. It wouldn't even have to be a state actor. It could just be some rich kid thinking it'll be a fun new hobby to send a missile toward some city he's not fond of just to see what happens.
Shouldn't the super-fast rotation of massive black holes counteract at least some of their gravity vertical to it's axis? Could that - at least hypothetically - eventually cause a black hole to break apart into bits of regular non-black-hole matter, if it spins fast enough?
Sorry if I'm sounding silly here, I'm a 5th-grader when it comes to astrophysics but perhaps someone with knowledge could offer some insight?
While I'm not an astrophysicist, my understanding is that physics, along with everything else, breaks down inside the event horizon, so no matter how fast the black hole is spinning, once something reaches that event horizon, the only way back out is via the radiation we sometimes see escaping black holes. It's not coming back out as regular matter unless something catastrophic happens that I'm not sure we've ever seen observational data to prove is possible.
I view it as a way to address investors' stupidity on AI-Hype and putting their name out there into the AI-Verse as relevant to a synergistic forward thinking future-centric Brave New AI-World. Marketing across the techno-babble universe will get hyperbolic over this. Marketing profits will flow. And then, in a fit of synergistic forward thinking future-centric hypergasm, they'll make it Quantum Ready.
My buzzword bingo card is full!
Good! thanks, you gave me a chuckle.
Now pitch it to a streaming service so I can torrent the show later. (just have a chat bot write most the script... it'll likely be better than some of the crap human "bots" are churning out.)
By the time the action committees and the executives get done massaging it, you won't know the difference.
Yes, cat videos suck because of the suject matter.
Take it back, or get off the Internet.
You know, I've had girlfriends that hallucinated a lot, and they were still good in bed...
I'm missing a critical bit of info here. What's the "good in bed" equivalent for AI?
Science may someday discover what faith has always known.
