Do you think AI is going to go away? History repeats itself, the Luddites will not win. The people who can best exploit AI will be ahead of those who cannot.
It won’t go away, but LLM won’t always mean automated-cargo-cult-programming, digital serfdom, climate apocalypse and a financial speculation bubble. At some point, their cost will have to be their actual cost. Bigtech hope is some many are some hopelessly dependent at that point they will pay that cost. Also that there is little competition because few couldn’t run at those losses.
But I think at that point, efficient small language models you can own/host, train and use at will, will be a thing. No one wants to be (American) bigtech serfs.
This is consistent with how most people have technology since the PC. They want control of their devices, the ability to use open source software, self host the services they deem critical. I’m no predictor, but I can see AI going the same path as other technologies, and we will get to a more user controlled environment.
People are really out here defending the billionaire’s toys and comparing them to the fucking printing press?
We are so incredibly fucked.
