Massive resources are being used to build things in a useless attempt to get rid of workers
All those resources never showed up to help research teams finding a cure to cancer.
LLMs aint curing no fucking cancer
Closest thing to that would be the Folding project that Google just shut down.
Wait they shut that down? The fuck?
“Google Shuts Down Its Nobel-Prize Winning AlphaFold Project”
Huh. Slashdot. And my old sub-3000 id still works.
Probably sold it to a hospital system so that they can scuttle it and make more money from cancer patients.
Nope. If you had checked the link you would know it was a reassignment of all the workers to Gemini.
Literally just dissolved the project into thin air.
‘They will. Its just 2 years away!’
LLMs are glorified predictive text. They aren’t curing shit.
Who mentioned LLMs here?
“AI” as corporations and everyone call it does not exist, those are LLMs. Actual AI is what they’re trying, and failing, to create.
No, AI is a much broader term, including image generation, (face) recognition, decision making (for example applications), …
This includes medical applications like cancer recognition. You can support one because it’s doing good while criticizing others because they do harm or do not work at all.
Oh, you meant the kind of AI that doesn’t exist? Silly me.
You are not making any sense.
The post talks about Anti-AI crowd opposing the rapid development of AI.
The only AI being rapidly developed is LLMs.
The post is conflating AI with LLMs and so do quite a number of people here. You can support one kind of AI while criticizing others. There are promising medical applications.
Not to “both sides” here, but please both sides, be specific in what AI you’re talking about or think someone’s talking about. The conversation makes 0 progress otherwise and is no better than a circlejerk. Cancer curing AI can still exist without hungry data centers and plagiarism. You can be anti 99% of AI and still work to preserve the 1%, it’s not hard people.
Yes it is hard - because the only AI most people have ever “witnessed” and been aware of “this is called AI” is LLMs and image generating. For a horryfying number of people, “AI” is only these two things. By the same mechanism, usage of the term in media says “AI” 90% of the times when it really means just LLMs. We would have to explicitly specify all the time, and people just can’t be arsed
…is this nose cake guy? I miss you…
they hate it when you say this
Are “they” in the room with you right now. Fuck off and take your meds
they say things like this
