My argument is about the scale.
They didn’t build a giant railwork network after the first train was shown, they didn’t build Highways after the car’s invention.
It’s like the IT industry turned into a one trick pony and bets everything on a certain type of AI.
- ben_w 2y agoWe had data centres for a long time before this, and this isn't a bet on "a certain type of AI" as the GPUs can do a lot of other architectures besides Transformers. Indeed, your own example of "funny cat pictures"… if you meant "from GenAI" that's a diffusion model while text is a transformer model, and if you meant "in general" all those things pre-date current interest in AI.
