And I thought javascript was inefficient compared to C.
Imagine running agents in the cloud to do simple stuff like extract one 3 digit number from a weather report for the temperature.
The power, cooling water and infra cost requirements are going to be huge.

- bick_nyers 3y agoWhat's stopping the agents/LLM to "compile" some "traditional" code to extract that for you? That's the next step, is teach these massive generalized models to compile lightweight models (which doesn't have to be ML based) for narrowly defined tasks, validate the narrow model using the large one generating test data and boom, efficient code.
- kingcharles 3y agoLast night I needed a really hard regex and I'm terrible at reflex so I would have spent literally hours browsing the web and testing expressions, wasting energy in the process. Instead I asked ChatGPT and it spat out the entire regex on the first prompt and it worked perfectly. So, the flip side is that AI can clearly save enormous resources. And how long will it be now before AI solves intractable problems like fusion energy, room temperature superconductors and perhaps even finds sci-fi tech like zero point energy?
