Probably LLM maximalist ideas that suggest infinite “scaling laws” for LLMs (they are not laws), leading to ridiculous conclusions like building a $1 trillion cluster is the fastest way to AGI. People like Leopold Aschenbrenner are in this camp. Imagine if LLMs were the only way we had to play chess. You’d need a centralized server and peak performance wouldn't even best a grandmaster. You spend $1 trillion building a super cluster because that’s all you know. < - - This is where AI is today. And then some startup creates Stockfish, a chess engine better than any LLM or grandmaster and can run on a smartphone.
