- 2muchcoffeeman 2mo agoChatGPT has raised over 120 billion USD in funding. For argument let’s just say we paid all the mathematicians 200k in salary from graduation till retirement. Say 40 years. That’s about 8 million. Let’s round that up to USD 10 million. We can see the future and pay to raise all the baby mathematicians. For 100 billion that’s 10000 mathematician lifetimes. For 1 AI company _so far_. There’s no value for money in AI yet.
- aurareturn 2mo agoWell, it's taken 4 billion years for life to evolve into humans to be able to do math. That's a lot of resources, right? Likewise, LLMs also needed the same amount of evolution. My point is that it's silly to make these comparisons on resources. A single SOTA trained LLM isn't just doing advanced math research. It's used by hundreds of millions or even billions daily for various tasks. It's just a tool humans invented.
- Brian_K_White 2mo agoIt's just a wildly inefficient tool whos inefficiency is obscured so no one realizes how bad it is and everyone thinks the good part is the only part.
- aurareturn 2mo agoIt doesn’t seem so inefficient to me. It seems incredibly efficient in workplace productivity.
- Brian_K_White 2mo agoLe duh.
