There is a lot of hype around LLMs, and other forms of AI certainly should be getting more attention, but arguing that this tech no value is simply disingenuous. People really need to stop perseverating over the fact that this tech exists because it’s not going anywhere.
Any benefits are by far outweighted by the cost and dangers.
Tell me more about the value when every LLM company is hemorrhaging money.
You seem to have a very US centric perspective on this tech the situation in China looks to be quite different. Meanwhile, whether you personally think the benefits are outweighed by whatever dangers you envision, the reality is that you can’t put toothpaste back in the tube at this point. LLMs will continue to be developed. The only question is how that’s going to be done and who will control this tech. I’d much rather see it developed in the open.
You dense motherfucker.
No LLMs are being developed in the open.
Even provided weights mean nothing.
It’s not knowledge LLMs retain, just the ingressed text.
LLMs should be skipped after confirming that they are indeed a dead end they always were. And the entire world should focus on anything else.
@msage @yogthos I don’t know if I agree 100% with this, but I do like what you’re saying.
It seems like all the AI companies are simply hoping AGI emerges from it and nobody is doing the actual research to make that happen.
People were researching it when I was a child and I suspect they’ll still be researching it when I’m collecting my pension.
