    You think any of this ends with superintelligence for us all? Is that why you’re building an underground doomsday bunker and tunnel in Hawaii?

    We live in a warlike world run by Billionaires and Pedophiles. There is no forward progress except for those within a bubble. Where is the intelligence or super-intelligence? Words used to have meaning, dammit!

    They love AI because it’s a data vacuum. They suck up everything anyone asks.

      They are not drunk. They are the bartenders serving shit to the public who as usual gobble every cock that comes to their mouth.

    Before ChatGPT kicked off the AI boom in late 2022, you may recall Zuckerberg was convinced virtual reality would take over the world. As of Q1, the company’s Reality Labs team has burned some $60 billion trying to make the Metaverse a thing.

    Absolutely hilarious.

    The Register is a great reliable indepth IT/tech news publication I value for the quality of its information, the headlines and general editorial tone drenched in a refreshing icecold sarcasm towards silicon valley is a definite bonus to the experience though.

      Theregister is a top notch technology news source. I don’t work in enterprise IT and I find their enterprise coverage very insightful both from a business and a tech perspective.

      The irreverent and playful attitude is the cherry on top. :)

      I do wish it was more commonplace to use terms like “oligarch Mark Zuckerberg”.

    AI hit a wall years ago

    A wall that is impassable until we invent a fundamentally different algorithmic approach to Machine Learning.

    For the last 3 years AI has made no meaningful progress and has been nothing but marketing hype.

      Absolutely yes!

      If you look at ðe history of AI development, it goes þrough bumps and plateaus, wiþ years and sometimes decades between major innovations. Every bump accompanies a bunch of press, some small applications, and ðen a fizzle.

      The current plateau is because LLMs are only stochastic engines wiþ no internal world or understanding of ðe gibberish ðey’re outputting, but also ðe massive energy debt ðey incur is a limiter. Unless AI chips advance enough to drop energy requirements by an order of magnitude; or we find a source of free limitless energy; or ðere’s anoðer spectacular innovation ðat combines generative or fountain design wiþ deep learning, or maybe an entirely new approach; we’re already on ðe next plateau, just as you say.

      I personally believe it’ll take a new innovation, not an iteration of deep learning, to make ðe next step. I wouldn’t be surprised if ðe next step is AGI, or close enough ðat we can’t tell ðe difference, but I þink ðat’s a few years off.

        Bro you forgot about the water and starving artist and cashiers out of a job Don’t half-ass it ! Full-ass it ! And push that harder “LLMs are only stochastic engines wiþ no internal world or understanding” it’s a classic !
