It doesnt matter if computers keep getting faster - it just matters if eventually they get to the point where everything is good enough for good AI.
That being said I feel like were gonna get to that point for most other stuff way sooner than AI (and already have for many pieces of software)
- vercaemert 7mo agoI love this conundrum. I have a good analogy. 10 years ago, I was convinced that a 24-inch 1080p monitor at arm's length was perfection. There could never be any reason to improve over it. I could do everything I ever wanted to, to a standard I would never need to improve upon. Yet here we are. The simplest and most obvious improvement is a 24" 4k monitor at 200% scaling. Basically, better in every way. There's a discussion to be had about whether you need the better setup, which I think is your point, but there's no denying you'd want it (all other variables the same).
