Because spending and power consumption seem to be increasing exponentially.
Unless there's a 1,000,000X algorithm speedup, people like me will prefer our air conditioning to grid meltdown.
Personal opinion.
- AbstractH24 1y agoIm not sure I follow. Can you elaborate?
- k310 1y agoUntil there's a lot more power, or AI uses a lot less, power's a zero sum game. The exponential increases have been in spending and power needs, both current and anticipated, and LLM's are mimicry, not creative, IMO, so where's the exponential payoff? People without jobs aren't going to pay for AI, unless it's to further flood employers with job applications.
- AbstractH24 1y agoOk, now I see your point. And basically agree. But who is the voice of the little person losing his job who is going to stop ACME mega corp from taking money from ACMO slightly smaller corp to spend on power? And when does this hit an inflection point? How close are we?
